本論文經由對舞蹈藝術特質的探討,提出建構台灣首座舞蹈博物館的展現可能,旨在開拓台灣舞蹈發展之契機,活絡舞蹈風氣,進而提昇台灣民眾對舞蹈藝術的認知與支持。舞蹈為一項綜合多元媒材的藝術,富涵多樣學習範圍,包括知識、技能、美感、創作、表演等層面,如能透過博物館之教育推廣與保存維護,以及研究的功能,從生活化的詮釋理念出發,以多元的展示類型來呈現舞蹈藝術的永恆精神與文化價值,將是使舞蹈落實於生活的最佳方法。筆者所擬議之舞蹈博物館強調展示都是經過精心設計的創新成果,除了本來就獨立存在的展品外,展示環境的呈現也是一個智慧巧思的顯現,展示的價值將建立在與參觀者的溝通互動上,充分體現舞蹈藝術的創造精神以及溝通意義。此外,舞蹈博物館寓教於樂的互動性展示,鼓勵參觀者勇於嘗試和大膽表達,除了提高參觀者的興趣外,更從肢體的互動中,理解舞蹈即是一種運用人體來表述自我、表露情感、以及表達生命的藝術。透過本研究希冀能藉由舞蹈博物館之設立來拓展台灣民眾接觸舞蹈的管道,賦與參觀者不同以往的舞蹈體驗,使參觀者在充滿驚喜與會心一笑的情境下,領略舞蹈各個層面的知識與內涵,並獲得一個愉快有趣的博物館經驗;讓大眾不要遺忘了這項人類與生俱來的舞蹈本能。
