Abstract

Ballet is often not just a way of expressing director’s idea, it also reflects the conservative side of art. Ballet should be viewed as a source of preservation of classical art and development of its academic structure. Consideration of tasks other than the development of art already transitions ballet to the field of sociological and political scientific discourse. In this regard, the relevance of this study is determined by the border between modernity in ballet and the preservation of its traditional foundations. The novelty of the study is determined by the fact that modernity in ballet manifests itself not only as part of a performance or as a desire to form a public response. The main value is formed based on mutual assistance in the development of such parameters as innovative methods of artistic presentation, visual elements of ballet production and structuring of additional impressions from choreography for the viewer. The author shows that the central idea must be distributed to form the image of the viewer’s involvement in the storytelling on stage and empathy both for the classical versions of the stage productions and in performance with avant-garde elements. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibilities of the structural development of ballet in the general framework of choreography as an element of the social art development.
