邵族為台灣原住民族群中人口最少的一族，而其音樂與舞蹈結合神話傳說、宗教祭典、風俗習慣，更使其顯示出部落祭儀與生活背後所呈現的豐富文化意涵。
　　本研究目的為探討邵族文化起源與歷史發展、其祭儀歌舞之形式、內涵與功能、並透過自我檢視「逐鹿傳奇」之創作歷程，期探討出作品對台灣多元的人文精神、鄉土文化和教育的價值與影響。本研究藉由文獻探討與田野調查收集資料， 與指導教授商議後，擬定以邵族傳說故事「逐鹿傳奇」結合舞蹈的身體語彙作為創作歷程之研究，將沉澱於邵族部落傳說以舞蹈重新詮釋展現；透過具體記載創作構思、創作脈絡、排練過程及最後舞蹈呈現方式，探討原被漠視的本土原住民文化，逐漸激發本土文化多元發展的特色。
本研究結果如下：
一、卲族雖然面臨人少勢薄的危機，但其豐富的傳統歌舞文化卻不容忽視。
二、以現代的舞蹈形式詮釋古老的部落傳說，其中新與舊的思維有許多對話與激盪。
三、嘗試的作品有多樣層面的價值，如發揚台灣多元文化精神，另亦富深刻的教育意義。

　　Thao is indigenous tribe with the least population in Taiwan. Its music and dance connect to legends, cultural ceremonies and customs, hence abundant cultural meaning is contained in its music and dance.
　　This study aimed to find out the characteristics of Thao culture, its music and dance in ceremonies, and examine my own thoughts upon the culture by creating a dance work based upon Thao’s legend of white deer. The procedure of study includes literature review, field investigation, creating dance using elements of Thao’s culture, and finally reflection and discussion are made.
The results of this study reveal important findings:
1. Thao tribe though has been facing crisis due to minor status and too small population, however, its abundant tradition and splendid music and dance can not be ignored.
2. The process of creating dance “white deer legend” interprets the culture in modern form and there is transition and dialogue between old and new thoughts.
3. The process of new dance making upon old culture can withhold dimensional values including developing the characteristics of multicultural situation in Taiwan and further, also it is with good intention for education.
