The visual solution of a ballet performance: The experience of conceptual understanding

Abstract

In the course of studying the role and place of ballet costume in the process of creating a performance, the need for a conceptual understanding of the “visual solution” as a complex phenomenon of the artistic process, which has not yet become an object of special scientific interest, was revealed. As a working version, the definition of the visual solution of the performance is proposed as a combination and interaction of such components of its artistic and figurative structure as the concept / initial idea implemented in the scenery and stage props, costumes and make-up of performers, stage lighting, as well as augmented reality technologies represented by modern digital tools. The relevance of this discursive track is equally conditioned by both the tasks of historical art studies and the problems of art ontology, as well as modern challenges posed by the rapid development of technologies that change all the architectonics of the artistic process — from the stages of development and creation of an art product to its production.
