Art Culture Education Center Presents an Online Art Viewing Education Content, “ON AIR”

The Art Culture Education Center affiliated with the K-Arts launched a program, “Online Art Viewing Education: ON AIR.” The program aims to provide an experience of viewing art without restrictions on time and location. It dealt with three topics on the Korean mask dance for first topic.

The ON AIR adds Prof. Park In-soo’s analysis to the passionate mask dance (Talchum) scene performed by the current and graduate students of the Department of Korean Traditional Dramatic Performing Arts. In that way, it leads the general public who is unfamiliar with the mask dance to better understand and view the performance. As the Korean traditional mask dance is assured to be enlisted on the UNESCO Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, the ON AIR enlightens its value and delivers many stories hidden behind the performance to the audience.

Part 1 introduces the communal nature of Talchum which emphasizes the harmony of neighbors through the Bukcheong sajanoreum performance. Part 2 presents various Talchum scenes by region and topic within which one can find satire and humor. Part 3 explores the history of how Talchum has kept up with the changes and communicated with society over time.

The Online Art Viewing Education: ON AIR is available online via the official K-Arts YouTube channel, “K-Arts TV,” K-Arts Naver TV, “K-Arts Art Theatre,” and Naver V-Live, “K-Arts Theatre.” And it is accessible anywhere anytime.
