TalChum performances

 Unlike the Western performances, some Eastern plays require active participation of audiences. TalChum performers thought people need to participate in order to practice better plays. By communicating among actors and audiences, TalChum performers could able to criticize upper classes. That being said, actors evoke the anger of audiences towards the upper classes. This video shows that audiences are able to participate in dancing.

There are performances that only require dances without any dialogue or monologue. This kind of performances usually were being used in a way of ceremony.  Usually when people learn other countries' traditional dances, they would be bored; however, many Americans enjoyed dancing Korean traditional dance at class. This video is the one which I learned in a cultural studies in dance class last year.

While you are watching this video you would curious about the white sleeves which dancers wear for performances. Those sleeves have no specific symbols but decorate the beauty of masked dance. Without those sleeves, it may seem little empty and boring. 


I hope u guys enjoy my videos.
