碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 民族藝術研究所 === 96 === The Correspondence between National Center for Traditional Arts (NCTA) and Indigenous Performing Art Abstract With better economics, rapid growth of technology and information, drastic social change in Taiwan nowadays, the most influence of all is the change of entire cultural environment, therefore Taiwan is filled with cultures from all over the world. It has great impact on traditional culture which represent the epitome of bypass civic life、also the predecessors wisdom and collective memory of foretime livings. These are all valuable cultural treasures of Taiwan and are certain for preservation. While we develop new cultures, without the foundation of traditional culture we see no uniqueness in cultural content. Performance arts deliver performing contents through visual and acoustic approaches directly from the performers can be most considerate art. We can not exclude the indigenous performance are while mentioning traditional performance art in Taiwan, though the cultural background of entire society in Taiwan is based on Chinese. Such unfavorable sustaining environment of development of indigenous performance art has restricted it under inferior status chronically. Focusing on the disadvantage of the sustaining of indigenous performance art, the thesis take National Center for Traditional Arts (NCTA) as research site and achieve fundamental understanding through relative reference comprehending. With qualitative interview we realize directly the difficulties these art performance groups encountered recently. Through observational experience as a volunteer in NCTA, we put information gained by these research methods into integration and analysis. We confer indigenous performance art acted in NCTA with an indigenous art considering view, and extend discussion the position of the indigenous people in the entire society. In the end of the thesis we set three environmental factors：Economic benefit、cultural policy、and cultural trend to analyze within the indigenous art and all in disadvantage situation. And with the three negative factors coevolved for not a short run, ignorance for a long term is inevitable. For the global concern toward ethnic culture, and conceptual enhancement of pluralism recently, indigenous art has the opportunity to improve its status gradually. Multicultural resources are precious and shall be maintained and popularized with equal consideration. Thus relative governing sections should advocate concepts of multi-populations. We should also pay more attentions to strengthen ethnic cultures and integrate resources through local governments and academies. The most value lie on extending more developing opportunities for indigenous people.
