Abstract

This study seeks to find an alternative to the requirement for proving the competitiveness of Korean performing arts before entering into the overseas market by deriving the factors causing entry into the market to be delayed based on an analysis of the current status. Between 2007 to 2014, the overseas revenues from Korean performing arts increased by 16.4% compared to the total amount of financial support, as the number of free performances given overseas and the average guaranteed number of performances overseas are both at a standstill. Also, the size of the audience increased by a mere 3.3 times, which is an even lower growth rate than that for the number of performances, 3.8 times, during the same period. Furthermore, the audience size per unit is suffering from long-term stagnation. The main causes are as follows: 1) applying one-dimensional methods to performing arts exchanges and expanding the overseas market, 2) the existing confused concepts between profit and non-profit contents, 3) the weaknesses of the market expansion strategy, because of programming practices focusing on providers, such as presenters and producers, rather than consumers. As a result, the necessary basic research, including consumer surveys, has not been done yet. In order to understand the implications of this analysis and solve the problem of the delayed overseas expansion of Korean performing arts, the Korean wave industry was examined as a representative example. Consumer surveys for the performing arts, possibly benchmarked to the "Korean Wave Consumer Survey Index (KWCSI)", are expected to be done in the near future. In addition, through the development of a specific consumer index of the performing arts, customized marketing strategies by continent and country need to be established. This empirical study of the overseas expansion of performing arts can be utilized as a bridge between the academic and real worlds. This work may also enable a variety of strategies to be established for the overseas expansion of the performing arts.

본 연구는 우리나라 공연예술의 해외진출현황을 분석하여 시장진입의 지체요인을 도출해냄으로써 시장경쟁력을 갖추기 위한 요건을 찾고 대안을 모색하기 위한 것이다. 2007년부터 2014년까지 8년간 공연예술분야의 해외지원액 대비 수입액은 16.4%에 그쳤고, 같은 시기에 해외 무료공연 건수와 1회 평균 공연료는 제자리걸음을 면치 못했다. 또한 관객수가 2007년에서 2014년까지 3.3배 증가하였는데 이는 공연건수 증가율인 3.8배에 미치지 못하는 수치이며, 단위 공연 당 관객 수 역시 장기간 정체되어 있다. 그 원인으로는 단순 국제교류와 해외시장진출, 비영리와 영리 개념의 혼재, 현지 소비자 보다는 프리젠터나 프로듀서와 같은 공급자 관점의 프로그래밍 관행으로 인한 진출전략 수립의 미진함, 그리고 전략수립의 기초자료인 소비자조사가 거의 전무한 점을 들 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 공연예술 해외시장 진출의 지체현상 타개를 위한 시사점을 찾기 위해 타 분야인 한류산업을 하나의 사례로 살펴보았다. 그 결과 한류의 경제적 분석에서 제시된 한류지수나 한류심리지수와 같이 공연예술의 해외시장진출을 위한 공연소비자지수와 공연심리지수의 개발을 통해 권역별, 국가별 맞춤형 시장전략의 수립이 요구되었다. 또한 공연예술에 적합한 해외 현지 소비자 조사가 시급히 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 아울러 본고는 공연예술의 해외 진출 현황에 따른 실증적 연구로써 현장과 학문 간의 가교 역할을 함과 동시에 공연예술 해외진출의 전략 구축 방안을 모색하는 데 다양하게 활용될 수 있기를 기대한다.
