- Abstract
Russian contemporary dance has been developing vigorously over the past 20 years. Its various developmental directions make it difficult for analysis: Russian critical dance discourse hasn’t fully developed yet, and the criteria used by ballet and theatre studies doesn’t seem to be applicable especially to some of the contemporary dance forms which rely primarily on the body and embodiment approach in their communication strategies. The latter ones are the focus of this article and may reveal their relevancy to the XX century’s shifted focus in aesthetic. The essence of such an aesthetic turn – kinaesthetic awareness – will be used as primarily optics to look at two works of Russian dance artists based in Moscow. The methodology strategy combines two approaches: one is based on a phenomenological reduction, to fix an almost immediate response and doesn’t take into account any other information and the other – to delve deeper to the artists’ creative practices by asking them about their attitude towards the performer-spectator communication and the role of body practices’ in the creative practices
