Circus as Environment of Screen Action in Modern Directors’ Creative Work

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to expand scientific ideas about the place and role of circus and screen directing in the system of humanitarian knowledge. Research methodology. An interdisciplinary approach based on the use of a number of general scientific methods; in particular, a system of theoretical methods (induction, deduction, identification, complex artistic analysis, and synthesis) has been used in the study of the topic, which made it possible to study the factual basis of the implementation of circus productions in the arena and on the screen. The methods of systematisation and generalisation came in handy for arguing the originality of circus directing in the context of screen arts. The typological method enabled consideration of common artistic principles in the creative pursuits of masters of screen and circus art. In addition, analytical and systematic methods have been applied in their unity, which is necessary for the study of the art history aspect of the problem. The scientific novelty of the study consists in defining the directing profession as a universal type of artistic-aesthetic and creative-production activity; revealing the original principles of making films based on circus creativity; in the clarification of mutual influence and mutual enrichment of circus and audiovisual arts in the development of directing skills. Conclusions. It is substantiated that the film directors’ creativity develops and expands knowledge about circus art, gives impetus to the development of creativity of circus directors and performers on the screen plane. The specifics of the film director's activity in the process of the screen presentation of circus work were determined, which became the subject of a special study for the first time.
