Nationalization as a factor of the national Chinese ballet’s emergence
Abstract
The article discusses the problem of the nationalization of ballet in China, which has emerged on the agenda of Chinese art criticism since the early 2000s. The authors discover the presence of Marxist and Maoists ideas in the speech cliché of “nationalization of ballet”, on the one hand, and goal-setting, on the other; on historical examples they also examine how Mao Zedong’s focus on “serving” the art of ballet to the working people contributed to the transformation of the content and form of foreign (classical Russian and non-classical Western) ballet in China. The authors come to the conclusion that the ideology of nationalization contributed to the emergence of its own Chinese ballet with “national characteristics” (Mao Zedong) at the beginning of the 20th century and the establishment of the national Chinese ballet by the 1960s.
