  • The First Manifestations of Modernism in the Dances for Opera Performances in Ukrainian Theaters
    International Journal of Latest Research in Humanities and Social Science (IJLRHSS) Volume 03 - Issue 01, 2020 www.ijlrhss.com || PP. 36-38 The First Manifestations of Modernism in the Dances for Opera Performances in Ukrainian Theaters Drach Tamara Leonidivna, High degree student of the National Academy of Culture and Arts Management, c.Kyiv Choreographer-trainer of the dance-studio “Chocolate”, c. Lviv Annotation: We consider the question of modernism influence on the music art of Ukraine, we also analyze the artistic activity of the famous Ukrainian composers such as M.Lysenko, B.Lyatoshynskuiy, M. Verikivskiy and M.Skoryk, whose compositions include the main principles of this style, as the result they've used elements of expressionism, impressionism and symbolism, that have allowed to create new radically sensitive and emotional compositions, due to which we may know more about epoch of Modernism. New interesting works for the modern audience have appeared due to them, such as opera, ballet, symphony form, nocturne, sonata, modern interpretation of folk material, which have become the basis for the further development of theater, music and dance art. Our purpose was to analyse the artistic activity of the Ukrainian composers who composed music for the Operas and Ballets, and the works of the ballet masters who were engaged in composition of choreography to the national performances. Methods of the research: to analyse literature sources and art observation of new performances, to consider the repertoire of the Opera and ballet Houses, to research the history of development music and dance art in Ukraine. Novelty of the research is in using of the comparative methods for the studying of the artistic work of the famous Ukrainian composers and determining their influence on the development of the choreographic movements in the modern-dance theatre.

  • Formation and Development of Contemporary Dance in Ukraine
    АКТУАЛЬНІ ПРОБЛЕМИ ХОРЕОГРАФІЧНОГО МИСТЕЦТВА СУЧАСНОСТІ UDK 793.3(477) FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF CONTEMPORARY DANCE IN UKRAINE Manshylin Oleksandr, https://orcid.org/ 0000-0002-6025-9626 university lecturer, Kiev National University of Culture and Arts, Kyiv, Ukraine [email protected] The purpose of the research is to reveal the features of the development of modern dance in Ukraine in the period from the late 1990s to the beginning of the 2010s. Methodology: historical-chronological and biographical methods, stylistic analysis, and semantic analysis made it possible to carry out scientifically objective research. Scientific novelty: for the first time a wide range of phenomena in the development of modern dance in Ukraine has been systematized. Conclusions. As well as in other countries of the post-Soviet space, during the 1990s, the phenomena of contemporary dance in Ukraine took place in the context of information hunger and conceptual confusion. In the conditions of the conservative state of professional theatrical dance, until the 1990s, the hubs of the plastic experiment were sports, drama theater and children’s dance. Clarity and certainty of the directions of the development of contemporary dance in Ukraine began to appear only after a number of dancers passed through training courses of European and American teachers. The most noticeable and stable phenomenon in the researched field since the mid-2000s was the activity of the theater “Kiev Modern Ballet”. The fact that the work of this theater in its aesthetics is much closer to ballet art than to contemporary dance is indicative. Similar facts can be observed during the development of contemporary dance in Eastern Europe in the 1980s – the 1990s.
