(ПОСТ)МОДЕРНИЗАЦИЈА НА МАКЕДОНСКИОТ ТАНЦОВ КОНТЕКСТ
(POST) MODERNIZATION OF THE MACEDONIAN DANCE CONTEXT

Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of the 21st century, what does “postmodern art” mean? Where can it be positioned in Macedonian cultural space? In what condition is dance in Macedonia as an art form? What are the new trends? Through these questions, this essay will explore certain procedures which are integrated into artistic products. The mixing of various stylistic forms or layers of culture is no longer a novelty, but rather one of the postulates of postmodern art. Dance, with its certain strictly defined rules, appears to be a hermetically sealed system that does not change (which is true to some extent in terms of classical productions), but it inevitably, especially with new choreography, is unable to avoid influence from general developments in the arts and society. One of the notable changes in dance is a blend of elements from popular culture with artistic dance. This essay will attempt to define some processes that gain relevance through new dance settings. Specific trends will be elaborated upon not only through an analysis of specific examples, but also through seeking to provide a theoretical answer to this new type of artistic creation.
