Development of Choreographic Education in the Context of Cultural Development of Society

Abstract

The relevance of the outlined research problem is determined by a number of contradictions that exist in contemporary choreographic education: the growing demands on the professionalism of the choreographer and the state of professional training; the need for an appropriate response of art education to the demands of society and a fragmentary introduction of innovations into the educational system. Specific features of choreographic art as one of the important factors of cultural development of society are characterized; its special social functions are defined. The peculiarities and tasks of choreographic education in the context of contemporary socio-cultural changes are clarified. In particular, the specifics of professional training of future specialists in the field of choreographic art, the content of their professional qualities and features of the educational programs are analyzed. Based on the analysis of current educational programs and the results of student surveys, the directions for updating the content of professional training of future choreographers are identified, including updating the content of educational programs, introducing an integrative approach, using differentiated professionally oriented tasks, determining appropriate forms and methods of influencing students and individualization of training. Innovative directions in the system of choreographic education, which were formed as a result of intensive social development, are outlined: tendencies to combination of physical education, sports and dance, strengthening of international cooperation, introduction of information technologies and training of specialists for correctional work in inclusive environment by means of choreographic art. Prospects for further research lie in substantiation of the conceptual foundations of professional training of future choreographers, taking into account current trends in social development.
