The choreographer’s creative process: theory, practice and study attttempts

Abstract

The paper based on examples extracted from theatrical practice located in the historical and creative context of European ballet between the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries and aims to analyze the choreographer’s professional routines, and examines the personal work systems, staging phases, inspiration sources, premises and contexts that determine creative trajectories. Through a set of methods extrapolated from different areas of knowledge, the mechanisms and conditions of creative consciousness and artistic personality are reconstructed, as well as the paradoxes and modulations of the process of composing a choreographic work.
