Summary/Abstract: Purpose of Research. The purposes of the research are to analyse the artistic works of Pavlo Virsky, the Ukrainian choreographer-director, in the State Honored Academic Dance Ensemble of Ukraine and to reveal the phenomenon of his theatrical folk choreography in the context of theatrical art. Methodology. The scientific methodological basis of the research is the combination of the dialectical principle of knowledge, systemic, sociocultural and historical approaches, the fundamental provisions of the culture theory and history of. The general scientific and interdisciplinary research methods were used, which revealed the close connection between folk and stage dance and theatre art in the artist's staging work. Scientific Novelty. The scientific novelty of the results are to identify and generalise the features of dance art of Ukrainian choreographer, which brought his theatrical performances in the ensemble to a kind of author's folk dance theatre. Conclusions. P. Virsky’s creativity is a living proof of the syncretic connection among dance, stage and theatrical art. These spheres merged so strongly and organically in his many years of work in one of the best dance groups in Ukraine, because everything he did in the national folk choreography had a pronounced theatrical and figurative character. Having absorbed modern ideas and forms of choreography, reworking them into his plot productions, the artist forms clear guidelines for the synthesis of folk – choreographic and theatrical arts. Thus, he allegedly points to a promising direction in the development of folk dance art in Ukraine. In addition, as a result of the analysis of artistic and stylistic features of P. Virsky's artistic works we have found out that he managed to expand the genre boundaries of folk-stage dance art, bringing them closer to the style of performance. This allows us to talk about a kind of author's folk dance theatre, the basic basis of which was the State Honored Academic Dance Ensemble of Ukraine.
