Sounding bodies: Auditory aspects of contemporary dance
Abstract
This article is devoted to the auditory aspects of the artistic practices of contemporary dance, such as – making live and electronic sound, the use of voice, speech and verbal expression in a dance pieces. The article identifies a number of key moments in the history of the relationship between the dancing body and sound in contemporary dance since the beginning of the 20th century. The author also takes into account some foreign studies of the role and significance of sound in the artistic practices of contemporary dance. In order to analyze the use of sound and verbal expression in dance on the local dance scene, the article examines some dance works by such Russian choreographers as — Alexander Kukin, Mikhail Ivanov and Nina Gasteva, Evgenia Andrianova. The author comes to the following conclusions: the drivers behind the practice of working with sound in contemporary dance are the attention to the body and the emancipation of the body, movement and dance; working with the auditory dimension in dance pieces expands the boundaries of corporeality and creates conditions for generating complex meanings.
