IMPROVISATION – A FORM OF CONTEMPORARY DANCE THAT DEVELOPS THE DANCER’S CREATIVE PERSONALITY

Abstract

This article is devoted to the development of dance improvisation in contemporary dance and the use of improvisation in the development of the dancer’s creative personality. We consider the idea of improvisation as an ideal of „pure”, „natural” movements which have their origin in the creativity of a particular person. The author analyzes the connection of improvisa­tion with such concepts as random, transient, fleeting, „dance in the present.”
