FEATURES OF MODERN DANCE IN MODERN BALLET AREA
Abstract
Formulation of the problem. The dance vocabulary of modern choreographers is based on an organic combination of technical principles created by novice modernists (Martha Graham, Isadora Duncan, Louis Fuller, Rudolf Laban, Kurt Joss, Mary Wigman, etc.) with the director's own vision. In the meantime, the question of analyzing the use of modern choreography techniques and their transformation in the creative works of modern choreographers remain little studied.
The relevance. The interaction of traditions and innovation is one of the most pressing problems of modern ballet theater [14, 113]. The use of means and techniques of modern dance in modern ballet performances are the proofs, that these approaches in choreography reveal a wide range of existing techniques and their use in production, taking into account the individual vision of the choreographer. Analysis of specific works of modern choreographers allows to determine the methods and techniques of modern choreography and their use in modern ballet performances.
Review of recent publications. The study of the peculiarities of modern ballet theater is of great interest among scholars and is presented in the scientific research of Ukrainian theorists in the field of theory and history of modern ballet. M. Pogrebnyak, in her work «Modern dance and neoclassical dance in Ukrainian ballet of the second half of the twentieth century: ways of implementation, forms of presentation, methods of mastering and mastering aesthetics» paid attention to the creative discovery of modern choreographers and choreographers who update academic versions of classical ballets. application of modern choreography and neoclassics. T. Pavlyuk, in the dissertation separately considered the issue of «mastering the experience of modern varieties of modern dance, updating approaches to academic versions of classical ballet» [8, 20].
Problems of search in the Ukrainian ballet theater of the XX century new choreographic language, which appears as a result of combining classical dance with modern forms, is considered by well-known researchers: Yu. Stanishevsky, V. Pasyutynska, M. Zagaykevich [5; 7; 11].
- Khotsyanovska, on the example of folk-modern dance, highlighted and revealed the features of the combination of traditional and innovative elements in modern choreography and identified their main stages of formation [15]. Most publications trace research work aimed at identifying innovations that offer (or demonstrate) modern choreographers in their work.
The question of the use of modern choreography and ways of its interpretation in modern ballets is beginning to gain wide interest among scholars and theater critics. Some ways of transformation of this style in new choreographic compositions are analyzed by the following researchers: I. Sorokina, M. Tatarenko, A. Veselovskaya, M. Pudeeva, S. Nikolaev, M. Sidelnikov, A. Galaida and others. At the same time, there has been no work in which the use of modern techniques and means in modern ballet art has been analyzed in detail.
The aim of the article is to prove the active use of means and techniques of modern choreography of the last century by modern choreographers and their integration with individual creative search. In this context, the task of the article is to identify the expressive means of modern choreography offered by modernist avant-garde, and to analyze the methods of their implementation in the work of modern choreographers.
Conclusions. Techniques and methods of choreographers-modernists, laid down in the first half. XX century influenced the means of expression of the ideological idea of modern choreographers. We see that, using the basic techniques of modernism and adding their individuality, artists create a new contemporary choreographic art. There are completely new tools and techniques for organizing and combining modern choreography.
This leads to a different system of expressive means of the artist, and the work of art serves as an act of self-expression of the choreographer, who rejects many laws of theatrical action. The emergence and development of modern dance changed the artistic thinking of the choreographer-choreographer.
Given the elements of Art Nouveau, we can say that modern choreographers are in fact the successors of the traditions and principles of such famous choreographers of the twentieth century as Isadora Duncan, Louis Fuller, Emile Jacques-Dalcroze, Ted Shawn, Kurt Yose and others.
Prospects for further scientific and practical research within the research topic we see in the continuation of the study, analysis and detailed description of modern masterpieces of world ballet.
