Loie Fuller’s dance as an anticipation of generative art practices of choreography
Abstract
The article analyzes the artistic practice of Loie Fuller from the point of view of the synthesis of science, technology and art. In the historical context of the study, the ideas of Z. Cilinski (media archeology) are applied, which contributes to the understanding of the technical environment in Fuller’s dances. The article puts forward the thesis about the combination of natural science and artistic approaches in Fuller’s personal practice, which contributed to the emergence of a new dance identity as an art form problematizing the ody in a phenomenological way. Fuller’s dance is seen in opposition to well-known modernist practices. In addition, the artistic practice of Fuller is seen as different from the well-known representatives of modern dance.
