An on-going creative process was the major principle of Kantor's artistic endeavors. Kantor's emphasis on process grew out of his frustration with the experience of creation being isolated from the audience in the present time, during the moments of encounter. At the same time, however, Kantor was always aware of the fact that the first night of each and every performance that he made was the last point of his creative intervention. Despite being performed live in the present time, Kantor saw theatre essentially as an end product. This does not mean that Kantor abandoned the concept of on-going process, for process was for the artist a means to reject the idea of a finished work of art and to denounce the feeling of satisfaction derived from the traditional denouement in representational theatre. For him, theatre that dominated his time isolated the audience from the art work and the artist, and from this perspective his continual emphasis on process should be understood as an aesthetic principle in order to open up and expand the dimension of art into the realm of the spectator so that the experiences of both the artist and spectator may coexist. The heaviest barrier that separated the artist and his work from its audience was the creative structure that governed Western art. In theatre it was the dramatic structure that was the main object of his series of severe challenges. Not only did it fail to represent reality but it distorted reality, creating nothing but artificial illusion. Under this condition, all that was permitted to the audience was mirages. However, Kantor never completely discarded illusion from his theatre. The point for him was always to created a circumstance where the illusory reality of drama comes to exist within the dimensions of our reality. It was Kantor's belief that instead of a total denial of illusion, his theatre should strategically accommodate illusion which comes from reality. And, the aim of Kantor's theatrical experiments was to invite the audience into this ambience and transform the experience of his audience into a much more participatory one. This paper traces the ways in which Kantor transgressed the dominating conventions of representational, literary theatre, and how such attempts induced an alternative mode of spectatorship. The study will begin from an investigation into Kantor's attitude towards illusion and reality, and then move onto a closer inspection of how he spatially and dramaturgically materialized his concepts on stage, giving special focus on Wielopole, Wielopole.

When video composes mise-en-scene during the performance, it reflects the aspect of contemporary image culture, where the individual as creator joins in the image culture through the device of cell phone and computer remediating the former video technology. It also closely related with the contemporary theatre culture in which 1960's and 1970's video art was weaved into the contemporary performance theatre. With these cultural background, theatre practitioners regarded media-friendly mise-en-scene as an alternative facing the cultural landscape the linear representational narrative did not correspond to the present culture. Nonetheless, it can not be ignored that video in the performance theatre is remediating its historical function: to criticize the social reality. to enrich the aesthetic or emotional reality. I focused video in the performance theatre could feature the object with the image by realizing the realtime relay, emphasizing the situation within the frame, and strengthening the reality by alluding the object as a gesutre. So I explored its two historical manuel. First, video recorded the spot, communicated the information, and arose the audience's recognition of the object to its critical function. Second, video in performance theatre could redistribute perceptual way according to the editing method like as close up, slow motion, multiple perspective, montage and collage, and transformation of the image to the aesthetic function. Reminding the historical function of video in contemporary performance theatre, I analyzed two shows, Schaubuhne's Hamlet and Lenea de Sombra's Amarillo which were introduced to Korean audiences during the 2010 Seoul Theatre Olympics. It is known to us that Ostermeir found real social reality as a text and made the play the context. In this, he used video as a vehicle to penetrate the social reality through the hero's perspective. It is also noteworthy that Ostermeir understood Hamlet's dilemma as these days' young generation's propensity. They delayed action while being involved in image culture. Besides his use of video in the piece revitalized the aesthetic function of video by hypermedial perceptual method. Amarillo combined documentary theatre method with installation, physical theatre, and video relay on the spot, and activated aesthetic function with the intermediality, its interacting co-relationship between the media. In this performance theatre, video has recorded and pursued the absent presence of the real people who died or lost in the desert. At the same time it fantasized the emotional aspect of the people at the moment of their death, which would be opaque or non prominent otherwise. As a conclusion, I found the video in contemporary performance theatre visualized the rupture between the media and perform their intermediality. It attempted to disturb the transparent immediacy to invoke the spectator's perception to the theatrical situation, to open its emotional and spiritual aspect, and to remind the realities as with Schaubuhne's Hamlet and Lenea de Sombra's Amarillo.

본 연구는 텍스트 중심의 연기론과 신체 중심의 연기론의 연결링크가 필요하다는 문제점을 인식하며 출발한다. 배우뿐만 아니라 연기교육자에 의해서도 수차례 논의되어 온 재현적 반복 연기를 통한 현존성 상실이라는 난제를 극복해줄 방안으로 브레히트의 연기론을 연구한다. 브레히트의 연기론은 많은 연구자들에 의해 종래의 배우훈련의 대안으로써 이미 언급된 바 있지만 실제 적용이 가능한 연기 훈련방법에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되지 않은 실정으로 브레히트 연기법의 실제에 대한 기초자료가 될 수 있도록 목표한다. 본 연구는 그 중에서도 텍스트 기반의 모순 찾기와 신체 중심의 브레히트 연기론을 연구하고 그의 연기론이 텍스트와 신체 중심 연기론의 연결링크로써 작용할 수 있는 가능성을 탐구한다. 연구방법으로는 먼저 텍스트 중심의 재현적 연기론과 신체 중심의 포스트드라마 연기론의 개념과 한계에 대한 이론적 고찰을 진행한다. 그리고 브레히트의 서사적 연기 중에서 텍스트에 중점을 둔 연기실행도구와 신체에 중점을 둔 연기실행도구를 구분하여 그가 사용한 용어와 개념을 정리하고 연기실행의 과정에서 도달하는 현존적 효과에 대해 확인한다. 마지막으로 필자의 지도경험을 바탕으로 브레히트의 연기이론을 변형하여 개발한 연기교수법 학습모형을 제안한다. 그러나 본 연구에서 제시한 학습모형은 필자의 지도경험만을 바탕으로 하기 때문에 그 효과를 일반화하는 데는 한계가 있음을 밝힌다. 향후 후속 연구를 통해 브레히트 연기론에 대한 깊이 있는 통찰과 다양한 연기교수법 모형을 개발을 통해 현대 연기교육의 다양성에 보탬이 되기를 기대해 본다.
