Introduction:
1、Read the name of the festival for three times and ask them to guess which country is the festival belong to. The aim is to attract attention.
2、Show them where the village is.
“It located at a small place of Jeju Island in south Korea, and the island is born from the eruption of the volcano. See in the middle is the volcano. “
3、 Guide them to imagine how the festival started.
“Now, let’s imagine that you are living in the village, your family and all your partner are living on sea food around. You are a fisherman, driving a boat, you are a woman, what you collect is not fruit, but sea slugs and shells. And every year, in the second month, the sea becomes violent, very very dangerous. All of you can do nothing, just wait in your house. Very very boring. What will you do? Eat Drink Play! Festival! But at the same time you are scared that if this year, you won’t have any sea food to eat. What would you do?
—key point—praying.
“They think the sea is violent because the MaMa grandmother goddess oh, the mama of mama, she’s so hungry and eating the fish. So every thing is up side down. What should the villager do. They want to calm the goodness down."
4、show audience the catalog.
“Now, I have told you the location and meaning of the festival, next will be contents, and the last is conclusion.”
Body:
1、 give audience a very brief step: welcome, hooray and goodbye. It will attract their attention. Ask them to say it out with me. Then if they still have interest, go on.
2、 show the preparation. Diving for food and creating decoration.
before welcoming the grandmother yongdong, Woman divers in Jeju gather the sea slugs. It’s weird to assign this hard work to woman, and it’s very dangerous. However, they don’t think it’s weird. They think it is sacred way to communicate with the nature, when they are touching at the bottom of the sea, where they deeply rely on. And the next is to make some decoration. Just like when we are hold the funeral, we create lots of unusual things, in order to make a different.
3、Show all steps.
First step: greet and invite the gods. At this part I will say out student’s name to show the flow.
“Dear YongDong, here XXX, XXX, XXX… are the participants. Welcome!”
Second step: ask for well-being of the village and then please the god through playing traditional instrument such as the drum and Gong. Attract them again! If they want to see me dancing, I will ask them to play like the drum and gong.
“then, in the second step, they will knee down and pray the god for a good harvest. Now the god is in your house. You need to make her happy so that she will help you. They will play drum and gong (锣和鼓) like this (play a little) and dance. Do you want to see me dancing? Help me please?
Another play is Teasing a falling steamed rice cake dance. 扔米发糕. like this.
third step: to scatter seeds in the ocean Yeongdeung god interacts with the dragon king who rules the seeds. The third step bring together dragon king and Yeongdeung god to wish for a safety and prosperous patch.
forth step: the chief shaman萨满 scatters millet seeds and foretells which seafood will be abundant or not.
They just speak some weird word and pick up some seed to give the answer. It seems like fortune-telling in Chinese 算命. Maybe they just want to earn money. But, from this point, you can see that they cannot afford uncertainty, they really really want to know which seed could earn more. If not, they won’t give shaman money.
Fifth step: telling fortunes for household and female divers in order to preventing disaster.
“Because they still have a long time before Grandmother yong dong leaving, there are 15 days together, they spend 5 days to do the first four step. What to do next? Eating. They find an excuse that this is for Grandpa god, he is tired for traveling so far so he needs more food. But at last they eat all of it.
Sixth step: launching off a straw boat into the sea by the village’s senior men. Show a video.
Conclusion:
Grandmother yongdong is known to sow seeds in both sea and land to help people eat and live. Her story has been orally handed down /and reflects Koreans traditional belief that a good harvest or catch is a gift from nature indicating cultural diversity of humanity through communication between men and unique gods. The ydgut is a traditional performance of special features.
