Cultural Heritage Preservation Methodology: Korean Mask Dance Drama

Open access
This article discusses the preservation methodology of South Korean intangible cultural heritage through the case of the ‘Cultural Heritage Protection System’ launched in 1962. Through this system, fifty-seven kinds of intangible cultural properties have been officially preserved. This research examines the reconstructing methodologies of five traditional mask dance dramas, t’alch’ums, through literature review and interviews with performers from the Cultural Heritage Protection System. This article will benefit scholars and students in the performing arts seeking the effective methodologies in recovering original versions of ephemeral dance and theatre.
