존슨의 상상적 구조로 분석한 연극교육의 경험 양상

초록

This study analyzed the experience structure of theater education with Johnson's imaginative structure to reveal that creativity can be expressed in theater education using the cognitive method through the body. To this end, we first examined two key types of Johnson's imaginative structure. The image schema is a pattern created through repetitive experiences through the body. The image schema is the basis for understanding an experience because it is a universally shared generality. The way in which cognition is expanded based on the image schema is metaphorical projection. Metaphorical projection extends the level of a physical experience of image schema to a mental experience and is a universal cognitive method of humans. In this process, imagination plays a role in helping to understand experiences through image schemas or expanding cognition by mediating abstract thinking. This way of cognition through the body improves from lower cognition to higher cognition in the continuity of experience. Based on this, the experience structure of the process of ‘making improvisation’ in theater educa- tion was analyzed in this study. The stage of ‘making improvisation’ is the process of creating a story through reconstructing imagination using stored experiences to solve a given problem, creating a character who understands by expanding stored experiences based on imagination, and newly seman- ticizing the experience of the body as a spectator. The common feature of this structure of experi- ence is to metaphorically understand the experience based on the experience stored in the body, and to accumulate the expansion of cognition created by reconstructing the imagination back into the body. It can be confirmed that this is a cyclical structure of the body's cognitive method through the continuity of experience and a cognitive structure that extends from lower cognition to higher cognition. New reconstruction of stored experience through this cyclical structure results in creativity. Therefore, it can be interpreted that theater education has an experience structure capable of ex- pressing creativity using the essential human cognitive method. Through this study, it is expected that the value of experience through the body in theater education and various methodologies will be studied based on a deeper understanding of the intrinsic value of the body
