‘남다른.점’의 수용미학적 고찰: 관객의 시차적 수용을 중심으로

A Reception Aestheic Study of The Contemporary Dance Work ‘Diffrent. Dot’ : Focusing on the Temporal Gaps Audience Reception

이 연구는 현대무용 <남다른.점>을 대상으로 이머시브 환경에서 나타나는 관객의 시차적 수용(parallax reception)을 수용미학의 관점에서 분석하였다. 현대무용은 비언어적 특성상 의미가 관객의 감각·경험에 따라 다양하게 생성되며, 이 연구는 기대지평· 불확정성·차연 개념을 이론적 틀로 관객 해석을 공간적·시간적·인지적 시차로 고찰하였다. 관람 리포트와 SNS 후기를 활용한 질적 분석 결과, 원형 무대와 이머시브 구조는 관객의 참여성과 해석의 다층성을 확장하였고, 팜플렛은 기대지평을 조성하는 매개로 기능하였다. 이를 통해 <남다른.점>은 고정된 의미가 아니라 관객의 위치와 경험 속에서 재구성되는 열린 텍스트임을 확인하였다

This study analyzes the contemporary dance work Diffrent. Dot from the perspective of reception aesthetics, focusing on the parallax reception that emerges within an immersive performance environment. Contemporary dance, as a non-verbal art form, generates meaning in diverse ways depending on the audience’s sensory and experiential engagement. Using the concepts of horizon of expectations, indeterminacy, and différance as its theoretical framework, this study examines how audience interpretation unfolds through spatial, temporal, and cognitive forms of parallax reception.Based on qualitative data drawn from audience viewing reports and SNS reviews, the analysis shows that the circular stage and immersive structure expanded the audience’s participation and produced multilayered interpretations, while the performance pamphlet functioned as a mediating text that shaped the horizon of expectations. Through this process, Diffrent. Dot reveals itself not as a work that conveys a fixed message, but as an open text whose meaning is continually reconstructed by the viewer’s position, perspective, and experience.This study demonstrates that the work operates as an artistic field in which meaning is co-created through the interaction of choreography, environment, and audience reception. It further provides a concrete example of how reception aesthetics can be applied to contemporary dance and suggests new directions for research on audience interpretation within immersive performance contexts.
