Arts have changed continuously reflecting the times with the political atmosphere and social systems. As political, economic, and social big changes have occurred since World War II, antihistorical tendencies rejecting modernism in the early 20th century have come to appear in culture and arts as well. With these social changes, radical, avant-garde and artistic tendencies with strong experimental spirits, which rejected modernism took place especially in American dancing world. Trends of improvised elements and experimental trials were dominated discovering expressions of new movements in intentions and expressions of works. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects on choreographic forms of modern dance until today by exploring choreographic characteristics of this postmodernism. To examine post-modernist inclinations in works, Trisha Brown who led American post-modern dance stressed dance for expressions of movements in themselves and pure movements by actively accepting into dance works American social flows which played a major role in postmodernism starting from 1960s. American modern dancers considered body in itself as important one and any emotional expressions and individual sensitivity is excluded as their physical expressions are factual, realistic, and due to their movements. They imprinted dance as valuable art by recreating ordinary behaviors into dance, using space excellently and forming experimental dance shapes. Therefore, it can be said that through analyzing brown's works, we proposed a new direction getting out of limits of arts and provided a direction of essential dance alt to movements of modern dance and choreographic shapes.

본 연구는 릴리즈 댄스(Release Dance)에 내재되어 있는 선사상을 밝혀내고자하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 릴리즈 댄스의 대표적인 안무가인 트리샤 브라운의 사례를 문헌연구하였다. 먼저 브라운이 훈련했던 것으로 알려진 알렉산더 테크닉(Alexander Technique)은 편안함, 감각각성, 무형식의 특징을 통해 선사상을 내재하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 브라운의 무용에서는 부드러운 움직임, 공간인지, 무질서함의 특징으로 전이되어 나타났다. 브라운 외에도 많은 안무가들이 하나의 신체훈련으로 소매틱스(Somatics)를 접하고 이를 움직임에 반영해왔다. 관련된 사례연구들을 수행하여 릴리즈 댄스자체에 대한 학술적 정의가 필요한 시점이다.
