Western European vector of formation and development of Bulgarian ballet
Abstract
The article attempts to comprehend the Western European vector of formation and development of Bulgarian ballet. The structural-functional and factual methods, as well as comparison and generalization are used to analyze the subject of the research. The article is based on the cultural-historical approach. The diffusion processes of the German expressive dance spatial spread from the region of origin in the direction demanded by the Bulgarian community are highlighted. The contribution of the German expressive dance “key” figures — V. Kratina, M. Tsoneva, S. Georgieva, L. Valkova-Beshkevich, M. Dimova — to the professional dance art development in Bulgaria is specified. The strong German culture innovations penetrated into the less developed, weak Bulgarian “zone”, where objectively they could not have appeared. The conclusion is made about the discreteness of the West European vector of the Bulgarian ballet development, conditioned by the political context. Although the creations of the German expressive dance representatives did not constitute a significant legacy, their activities anticipated the new stage form — dance theatre — emergence.
