Notes
[edit]- ^ Theatre Company Minye (Korean: 민예극장; Hanja: 民藝劇場;Folk Craft Theatre) is theater company founded in Seoul in 1973 for the purpose of respecting humanity through plays and modern acceptance of traditional plays. The theater company Minye is an abbreviation of 'National Theater of Performing Arts'. The folk craft theater's acceptance of traditional arts had a great influence on plays in the 1970s, and formed a flow in Korean theater, such as inserting mask dances or spears into modern plays, and finding materials in folktales and shamanism.[6]
- ^ Theatre Company Michu (Korean: 극단 미추; Hanja: 美醜) was founded in August 1986 by Son Jin-chaek. The theater company Michu originated with the 'Son Jinchaek Directing Lab', which established when CEO Son Jin-chaek was the representative of the Minye Theater. Michu continues to search for the identity of Korean theater that emphasizes spirit rather than form . Since 1987, Michu has performed Madangnori works every year. Madangnori refers to traditional Korean theater that combines various forms of folk entertainment, such as puppetry, mask dances and traditional percussion music.[7]
- ^ Gyeonggi folk song refers to all folk songs handed down in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. However, Gyeonggi folk songs designated as important intangible cultural assets refer to 'Gyeonggi Ginjapga' called 'Gyeonggi jwachang'. Gyeonggi Folk Song' was designated as Important Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 57 on July 12, 1975. As the first entertainers, Ahn Bok-sik (stage name Ahn Bi-chwi), Lee Gyeong-ok (李瓊玉, stage name Muk Gye-wol), and Lee Yun-ran (李潤蘭, stage name Lee Eun-ju) were recognized as the first entertainers.[17]
