The purpose of this study is to define Juan Mayorga's play Hamelin as a Post-Epic Theatre and to study the practical directing technique for Hamelin as a Post-Epic Theatre. Post-Epic Theatre, which appeared after the Post-drama, has the purpose of presenting social issues, communicating interactively between the actors and the audience, and making the audience think about the issues presented by the techniques of immersion and alienation. To this end, after examining the theoretical background of the Post-Epic Theatre, the characteristics of the Post-Epic Theatre of Hamelin were identified and based on these features, '1. Building a visual image based on a Cubistic multifocal concept' and '2. The concept of directing was derived from reinforcing Meta-drama through role-playing'. Next, the actual directing technique was discussed, focusing on the chain action of immersion and alienation that occurs in the form of communication between actors and audiences. '1. Presenting the characteristics of the work through Post-Epic Theatre scenography', '2. Co-existence of actors and characters', '3. Building and utilizing body-centered gestus' are them. As a result, demanding an active attitude from the audience, various experiences such as critical thinking of the audience, strengthening the characteristics of post-epic dramas, and active meaning creation were made possible.

It is an undeniable that cultural landscape of Korea is centered in Seoul, where all the cultural powers are oriented. From this aspect, a municipal theatre of Daegu (Daegu Municipal Theatre), where is considered an area somewhat isolated from the perspective of culture, has managed to develop theoretical programs serving public purposes through efforts on the diversification of performance programs, development of creative plays, acceptance of open direction, classic, modern and experimental plays, foreign exchange, musicals and non-verbal, development of modern and post-modern history of the region, aggressive exploration of subjects, and characterization of the theater through citizen-participated programs and communication with citizens.

This study aims to consider characteristics of the scenography in terms of directorial viewpoints of Belgian director Ivo Van Hove(1958~) and define indefinite realities through his production, The Fountainhead. Van Hove has gained worldwide fame with his dramatic and spectacular stage production and audience participation in his production Roman Tragedies. I paid attention to the spatial aesthetics of director Van Hove, which supports such bold stage production. I believed that his philosophy of space would exist behind his sophisticated space concept. Also, if you look closely at his work's spatial characteristics, you will find elements that capture the essence of his work and lead to a performative transition of the audience. Therefore, I would like to find out in detail how these elements were applied to the work The Fountainhead and conduct researches on the spatial characteristics of Van Hove's production. In particular, The Fountainhead shows a unique stage language through Van Hove's space production, and it is considered as the best work to study the characteristics of Van Hove's space production through a hero architect Howard Roak. In other words, I judged that through Roark as a persona, I could find a link between Van Hove's spatial aesthetics and directorial scenography. I hope that active following researches on Van Hove's spatial aesthetics could be conducted in the future, and this study would be a small starting point for his research on directorial scenography.

The Golden Dragon is a work that reminds us of the tragic illusion of globalization through the story of Asian workers' lives in Berlin, a strange city. Also, the post-epic nature of the play requires the audience to see it in a new way, more different than before. In Korea, there are theoretical studies on the post-epic theatre, but there is little research on specific acting approaches based on practical production process. Therefore, I first analyze the post-epic characteristics of The Golden Dragon in order to present specific acting approaches. As a result, it would be confirmed that body-centered acting approaches were required in the post-epic theatre to play more different roles than in the realism play. Thus, Laban movement Analysis(LMA) of Rudolf von Laban is applied so that internal impulses could be naturally induced through the utilization of the body. Of the four categories of motion(BESS), Laban seeks to look at the body-centered acting approaches through the effort. Finally, it must be confirmed through the actual production process that Laban's theory of motion could be used as a body-centered acting approach to creating the role of post-epic theatre.

배구자는 1920~30년대 조선에서 큰 인기를 확보한 무용수이자 연극인이었다. 그녀는 배구자악극단을 창립하여 조선과 해외(일본)를 오가면서 공연을 펼쳤고, 대중들은 그녀의 작품을 보기 위해서 극장으로 몰려들었다. 그녀와 그녀의 극단이 인기를 확보하고 있을 무렵, 그러니까 1931년 배구자무용연구소는 '혁신 공연'을 선언하고 일련의 작품을 발표했다. 당시 공연 작품 중에는 가무극 <파계>가 포함되어 있었는데, 다행히 <파계>는 공연 대본으로 기록되어 현재까지 전해질 수 있었다. 남아 있는 가무극 <파계>를 통해, 배구자무용연구소(나아가서는 '배구자악극단')의 공연 전략과 레퍼토리의 실체를 파악할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 조선 근대연극(사)의 주요한 축을 담당한 배구자악극단에 대한 연구는, 일제강점기 조선의 대중극의 다양한 갈래와 그 특성에 대한 이해를 제고할 것으로 전망된다.

Anton Chekhov was able to deliver a significant influence to the 20th realist drama types and styles, because his deep thoughts about diverse aspects of human life were realistically expressed on stages. Western realistic actors endeavored to embody their routines based on their words, behaviors, and habits. Chekhov used his outstanding talent to identify the characteristics of people, created unforgettable drama characters, and focused on their behavioral motives. From his philosophical point of view, Chekhov argued that secrets are hidden in life itself, and that everything, shown on the stage, should be as it is in our actual daily life. The realistic acting, recognizing the difference between the daily truth and the truth mentioned in works, pursued acting styles by which audiences regarded play characters as the real people.

Local festivals quite often give their visitors and local residents a good opportunity to experience the regional culture thoroughly. Also, the festivals empower the cultural pride and communal sociality, and create new jobs improving local economy. In Korea, more than 700 local festivals are held every year. Each festival is organized and operated upon all different purpose and mission. It is unfortunate, however, that many festivals fail to balance between making profits and accomplishing their purpose. Festival's marketing plan and content management should be cohesive, but at the same time, they also should be different depending on the festival's purpose and program. Especially in case of performance natured festivals, the role and function of festival directing should be more weighed on content management. Namhaean Byeolsingut is one of performance natured festivals, in which its archetype or primitive form is well maintained. This study observes the primitive form of NB from the director's viewpoint, and then provides a solid foundation on how those main characteristics of NB could be applied to invigorating local festival directing. The directing suggestions here are motivated by NB's ritual, performative, and play form.
