Exploraciones sobre la construcción y la reconstrucción coreográficas

Abstract

Alberto Dallal defines the dance phenomenon as the movement of bodies in space, which is invariably “significant”. He then specifies the main characteristics of choreographic composition. In addition, the author raises questions to make us think about the notation problems which are inherent to choreography. He also presents the problems of the lack of a universal language within the evolution of dance. The usage and acceptance of a universal language are the basis of a lasting and legible record of all memorable sessions throughout the development of dance. In addition, the author detects problems in “silence” and time, which are related to musical silence, the notions of “no-movement”, and “no-meaning”. Despite the paradox that make them antipodes, these elements are interdependent. Using these theoretical explanations, the author demonstrates the importance that the choreographer has had in modern societies, given their high level of especialization.
