ABSTRACT
The exercise of analysis of performance dance discourse is carried out grounded in Bakhtin’s concept of chronotope. On the basis of the classical ballet genre, theater is established as a constitutive chronotope that materializes its social-aesthetic values spatial-temporally. The analysis of chronotopic transgressions allows identifying the emergence of modern ballet based on two choreographies by Russian artist Vaslav Nijinski.
