ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to understand differences in medium, space, and appreciation of art of dance by focusing on the changing notion of choreography and to clarify an implications of the change observable in Forsythe’s ‘choreographic objets’. Early notion of choreography was the meaning of writing and creating a harmonious floor pattern of simple steps by using notation, and then it has changed to the meaning of creating movements suitable for each subjects. However, in contemporary dance, such as ‘choreographic objects’ changed the medium of choreography from a body to an object and erased a boundary between a daily life and a performance stage. Spectators experience and complete the dance using senses of their bodies. Choreography using objects is not a instruction for creating a illusory dance or a dance of profound meaning to be interpreted, but a suggestion for providing a space to experience the essence of dance that feels the world with the whole body.
