Drama, Dance & Music Theatre

Koreans have long been known for their love of song and dance. Indeed throughout their history, dating back more than 5000 years, they have developed and nurtured a unique style of performing arts. As a result, the performing arts in Korea have attained a "naturalness" in vitality and gracefulness that nears perfection. This book will hopefully give the reader an introductory overview of the Korean performing arts and how they have evolved and adapted themselves to the constantly changing historical and social environments of Korea.
