CHOREOGRAPH AND COMPOSER: PROBLEMS OF CREATIVE INTERACTION IN POSTMODERN BALLET AND DANCE
Abstract
The article raises the problem of creating a ballet in collaboration with the choreographer and composer. Different points of view are contrasted on the creative process of creating ballet. The article analyzes the representations of various choreographers about interaction with composers; creative tandems are given as examples: Stravinsky — Nizhinsky, Stravinsky — Balanchine, Graham — Copland, Bernstein — Robbins and Cage — Cunningham. Two diametrically opposed targets for musical creativity from the perspective of a composer are the creation of music for ballet and music, which hypothetically could become the basis of a choreographic work.
