Ballet: From term to essence
Abstract
The author proposes in the era of significant changes to return to the original, fundamental terms of ballet studies, in order to check their modern interpretation in domestic and foreign sources at a new stage. An attempt is made to critically comprehend the entrenched interpretations, to assess their controversiality, the ability to clarify the definitions. It is argued that the meaning of the term can change over time, in accordance with the very process of development of art and the spiritual transformation of mankind. New approaches in the definition of the concept of dance are proposed. The article considers the complex relationship of dance with music - from consent to struggle, confirms the idea of the priority of dance in the stage work, expressed for the first time by B. V. Asafiev.
