The problems of contemporary dance formation

Abstract

The article considers the phenomenon of contemporary dance to define the main consistent patterns which don’t allow this type of dance fixed its own frames. This statement is proved by the concrete examples of choreographers practice who create a new kind of movement through expansion of dancers’ function, various restrictions of stage movements, input of voice and text into dance composition, turn of dancer into performer.
Based on the conclusion that an axiological part of contemporary dance implies a constant development and search of new form of ideas’ expression, contemporary dance has a direct dependence on modern and postmodern dances. These types of dance matter for contemporary dance as external movement typology.
The relevance of the question of the article is determined by wide outspread in contemporary art of another types of dance expression using eclectic postmodern method of creativity and taking place of true contemporary dance without having its basic qualities.
