Theatricalization in the spatial and plastic solution of the performance: On the examples of creative screenings of students of the St. Petersburg State Institute of Culture

Abstract

The article uses the example of two staged works Mtsyri (based on the poem of the same name by M. Y. Lermontov) and Cloud in pants (based on the poem of the same name by V. V. Mayakovsky) algorithms and mechanisms of work on the creation of stage theatricalization are revealed: the division of the staging process into semantic stages, the identification of artistic patterns of the main text, finding for them the equivalent of scenic expressiveness, the selection of lexical material, the formation of an image based on the interpretation of the proposed circumstances and artistic features of the source text and the chosen convention. The main emphasis is placed on the spatial-plastic solution, choreographic features of creating a stage image and creating a single staged composition, finding an independent plastic vocabulary that gives rise to a dramatic image in the space of the stage. As a result of the research, the authors come to the conclusion that the creation of a spatial-plastic solution of a performance is a programmable process combining rational calculations that subordinate emotional potentials to a common task in dramatic and lexical form.
