Dance Theatre Performance, from Corporeal Art to Visual Art
Dance Theatre Performance, from Corporeal Art to Visual Art

Summary/Abstract: Conceived as a complex performamce where all the arts meet and combine with each other, nonconformist performative formulas, the dance theatre phenomenon imposes an approach from two directions. In the first place it is linked with the corporeal revolution from the beginning of the XXth century, involving personalities like Isadora Duncan, Rudolf Laban, etc. It develops in the same time with the researches on contemporary ballet, marked by independence from music. On the other hand the choreographers extend the experiments towards visual arts, attracting the artist (painter or sculptor) not only as the “designer” of performance, but also as performer (Josef Nadj). There are also shocking combinations between avangardes (happening, performance art, conceptual art) and the director vision, with irreversible consequences for the art of performance of the XXI century.
