Хореографічна, театральна, музична критика в Україні: проблеми та перспективи
Choreographic, Theater, Music Criticism in Ukraine: Problems and Prospects

Summary/Abstract: Purpose of the article is to identify problems and prospects of choreographic, theatrical, musical criticism in Ukraine. Methodology. Comparative analysis, systematization of information made it possible to achieve the goal of the study. Scientific novelty consists in comparing the problems of the critical sphere of theatrical, musical and choreographic art of Ukraine. Conclusions. The synthetic nature of choreographic art, where the laws of musical, theatrical and other types of art are directly or altered, allows for the extrapolation of the critically estimated parameters of these arts to the field of choreography. At the same time, the evaluative discourse of choreography has cyclicalized its own parameters, as evidenced by the prevailing branch of art history – ballet studies. The main problems of the modern critically evaluative discourse of choreographic, musical, and theatrical art are: media disinterest in posting non-commercial critically evaluative materials, small number of professional critical publications, lack of reaction from critics to a significant number of events, lack of support from the state , revealing the artistic identity of the domestic product. The problems of modern choreographic criticism in Ukraine are much deeper than the theatrical and musical ones, which is caused by the artistic specificity and the lack of formation of the system of training professional theorists in choreographic art, the lack of traditions in periodicals of dancing subjects. Compliance with the principles of artistry, updating ideological and artistic criteria, flexibility and tact, objectivity in critically evaluative approaches open up prospects for overcoming the quantitative and qualitative gap formed between the practice of theatrical and musical, especially choreographic art and its critical understanding.
