Although the theater performance industry is a typical cultural content industry, the support at the national level has been poor and the theater workers tend to focus on individual efforts rather than active interaction with the theater environment. Therefore, there is a growing need for effective revitalization of the theater industry, which should be found in improving the quality of interaction between the theater and the theater environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of theater actors (theaters, theater organizations) on the activation of plays by the interaction of politics, business, and technology, the main environment of the plays. For this, social network analysis was performed. As a result of the study, it was found that mediation centrality significantly influenced the visibility of theater actors. This means that the more the theater actors are at the center of information and resource flows to the elements of the theater environment, the more visibility becomes. This shows that the theater must actively acquire technology, create an avant-garde, and endeavor to expand its influence and outreach through active interaction with politics and corporations.

If a drama play is interested in recreating the play text on stage, the post-drama play aims at a drama that has been liberated from the play text. In this process, the boundaries created by drama theater are dismantled. Actors and audiences, fiction and reality, theater and non-theater, works and events, language and non-language are the names of typical boundaries. The demolition of these boundaries is an opportunity to restore the festival character of ancient Greek theater, which was forgotten by drama theater. This has led to the dismantling of language-centric and play-centricism, which has dominated the play since Aristotle, and has led to a new play. If language-centered, play-centricism has brought about the crisis of drama, the post-dramatic play dismisses them and finds ways to communicate with the audience as new cultural content. The method is found above all in the restoration of dramaturgy. This is because the post-drama plays are more dependent on theatricality than literature. The demilitarized nature of post-dramatic play with enhanced theatricality will be a stepping stone to popularization, and this shows the possibility of post-dramatic play as cultural contents.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the possibility of creating new theatrical contents by performance anthropological approach. Today's traditional performing arts are historically descended and developed in the forms of Ahk, Hee, and Geuk. Among those, Dongrae-yaru is a traditional mask dance, handed down in Dongrae, Pusan and appointed as the 18th intangible cultural asset. Its performance is carried out in the juxtaposition of Ahk, Hee, and Geuk. Korean theatre in the 21st century seems going back to realism after going through post-modern cultural phenomenons. However, the quest for alternative theatre is raised higher than ever. As a part of this strive, this paper asserts the traditional performing arts should be investigated as an alternative and new theatrical form. Among those traditional performing arts, Dongrae-yaru is selected for its well balanced combination of Ahk, Hee, and Geuk. The study examines in depth how each element of Ahk, Hee, and Geuk, they are expressed in forms of folk music, refined dance, jest, satire, wit. Its investigation on the stage adaptation provides the possibility for the new style and codification as the new theatre contents.

In national copyright law, dance is included in dramatic works. Considering the differences of conception of drama and dance or that of legal handling, however, it is reasonable that choreographic works be separated; so are the cases of many different developed countries. It is different that through lines emotion is communicated in drama but through physical movements in dance. Thus as dance is separated from dramatic works, it is possible to discuss unique qualities of choreographic works.
