Как киното завладя танцовото изкуство
How Cinema Conquered the Art of Dance

Summary/Abstract: In the construction of a contemporary choreographic vision, multimedia is also used as a second parallel action – for example, A la recherche de Don Juan by Maurice Béjart or A’propos Medea by Margarita Gradechlieva. Sometimes it marks the hero’s dreams (in Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake). Or, emphasis is placed on the place of action (in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Christopher Wheeldon). Rarely do video projections gain autono-my and tell a story that differs from what happens on stage, as in Adoration and Violence – variations on the theme Don Giovanni (by Boryana Sechanova). But the impact is stronger when choreographers design the plot in the field of dance. In Snow White and the hip-hop group “The Dwarves”, Tonika Todor-ova uses multimedia both as a décor (the dance halls of Snow White and the Stepmother), as a video link (when the dwarves call the Prince), or when Stepmom finds Snow White’s video lessons on TV. Film art is increasingly becoming a source of stories for choreographers.
