Analysis of strategies for the use of media technologies in choreography by a systematic literature review
Abstract
Nowadays, the trend towards the mediatization of artistic tools is characteristic of various types of art, including the art of choreography. This is expressed in the expansion of the range of staging tools, which includes, among other things, media technologies. The constant improvement of media technologies and the gradual increase in their accessibility for practitioners give rise to the problem of finding adequate strategies for working with them. The article is devoted to the review of the strategies of working with media technologies in choreography presented in theoretical studies and aims to identify the most common artistic strategies. By the method of a systematic review of the literature, it is shown that, due to their flexibility, media technologies are in demand both by intermediate artistic practices and in theatrical productions. As a result, it was revealed that most of the studies are focused on examples of using media with an emphasis on interactivity and processality. The principles and goals of integrating media technologies into stage forms of choreography from the standpoint of dramatic expediency are not touched upon in the considered sources, with rare exceptions. The conducted review confirms the insufficient coverage of the use of media technologies in the development and implementation of the director’s choreographic plan and outlines directions for further research.
