Abstract

This research shows how different educational forms such as schooling and apprenticeship are related to the development of artistic creativity from the interdisciplinary perspective based on educational anthropology of performing arts and management studies. This topic has been insufficiently explored by previous studies in both fields. More specifically, by applying the concept of schoolnization, the research compares two contrasting case studies of Chinese Qin opera and Japanese Nohgaku, based on first-hand data acquired from years of ethnographic research, to formulate a hypothesis on the ideal relationship between the enhancement of artistic creativity and process of career development. The hypothesis serves as a practical analytical framework for future research in the field.

Meaning Of Creativity And Its Importance

In this research, creativity is defined as an alternation based on tradition. Examples of such alternation are found in the Leting drum of China (Iguchi, 1999) and Nishiure Dengaku of Japan (Fujita, 2007), to name a few. Creativity is also regarded as something that is not only limited to the so-called great invention of the century by some geniuses but also includes smaller scale inventions that can be produced by potentially anybody. This research focuses on traditional performing arts, which especially respect connections to the past.
