Notation and fixing of the choreographic text in operating conditions of media means

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of choreographic text notation. The authors argue that in the conditions of functioning of modern media, the possibilities of modeling and fixing the choreographic text change the principles of the choreographer’s work. The systems of Beauchamp-Feuillet, Laban’s, Benesh-notation, Motion Capture, “Forms of life” are analyzed. The absence of a single system of notation, equivalent to musical notation in music art, was noted. On the basis of data from foreign sources, the resource potential of media in the choreographic text notation is disclosed. The authors come to the conclusion that media tools allow you to plan choreographic decisions before the rehearsal process begins with specific, “live” performers. As a result, greater meaningfulness and purposefulness of projecting of programmed dance movements is achieved. The authors draw a conclusion regarding the appearance of a new toolkit in the work of a choreographer, which allows you to simulate movements in advance and simultaneously record them.
