The core objective of this study is to elucidate the ways in which the castle's unique architectural elements serve as a muse for the creation of dance movements, thereby weaving a narrative thread that connects the historical and architectural legacy of the site with contemporary dance practices. Central to this exploration is the formulation of a dance framework that is deeply ingrained in the castle's iconic motifs, alongside the meticulous selection of dancers who possess the interpretative skill and expressive capacity to embody these motifs. Furthermore, this research conducts a rigorous analysis of movement, aiming to mirror the rich iconography of the castle through the language of dance. This endeavor is pivotal in illustrating the role of cultural heritage and historical motifs as a driving force behind the evolution of dance, marrying ancient themes with the nuances of modern choreographic methodologies. Consequently, this study contributes a novel perspective to interdisciplinary artistic research, spotlighting the capacity of dance to function as a vibrant conduit for cultural storytelling and preservation. The fusion of cultural legacy with choreographic ingenuity underscores a distinctive addition to the disciplines of dance and cultural studies, emphasizing the vibrant dialogue between tangible history and the realm of performing arts.</p> 2024-06-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024
