Post-modern dance is, as a dance that has shown various styles of dancing composition centering around America since the 1960's, being accepted as a concept to "generalixe the creative experiments as an avant-garde dance difficult to conclude the exact contents of construction."
Post-modern dance that has been formed and developed centering around New York has had a wide-ranging influence on Minneapolis in the west of America, Canada, England, Eruope, Japan and so on. In England, they have developed 'New Dance', in Canada, 'Dance Autuelle' centering around Mortreal and in Gerany, 'Poor Dance' Pina Baush and susann Linke took the lead for, and in Japan. 'Butoh' has been established itself. All these dances happened in the outside of America displayed the influence through mutual visits with Americal.
Post-modern dance shows a voluntary expression of pluralistic media and unrestrained freedom unbound to an exclusive division between genres in the side of expressive style, which can be said as the biggest characteristics of performing art.
The stage in the Baller of the past and the early modern dance was shown in the place where professonal dancers perform for the audience's viewing, in other words, in the theater stage, a limited space to show an aristocratic sublimity and a high level of techniques or the dramatic expression of emotions and the spiritual movements. But the change of stage form started under some restricted concept of limited space was also an act for breaking a bit bigger flexed idea in the tradition, and the stage works done under this concept has become a limited factor for the development of dnace-performing art to some extent.
Theerefore, seversl progressive choreographers have achieved much development in the style of dancing composition and the expressive style of theme in pursuit of new changes of performing art.
In the performance of Post-modern dance, daily circumstances is apt to be suggested as a space of act. As a result of extending the scope of performing place by accepting a part of reality without filtering, the preformances were carried out someetimes in the open air or the public places like the street, the subway station, the part, the parking lot, the lakeside, the woods, the roof-top of the building, the gym and soon. TO suggest the features of human-being arranged in a new place with a new form invests the audience with various possiblities of interpretation alog with an intimacy on acts and circumstances.
Also, in the preformance of Post-modern dance, the techniques of screen media like Video or T.V. movie and pictures and the images to borrows these are apt to appears. Steve Paxton projected Video recording films and documentary movies for a political satirement, and Judson Group uses the movie edited by the accidental techniques. Trisha Brown reflected the pictures of the ground taken from the airplane in order to disclose the limitation and fallacy of the system of the(learth's) crust on the screen on the stage, and once compared and illusive character and within the picturelike form. In addition, Meredith Monk attempted to make dance performances into the movie by the living and moving bodies as using the poural media.
Besides these, if considering the experimental character in Post-modern dance, 〈Violent Contact〉, one of Trisha, Brown's representative experimental works showed a study or impromptu creation, and Merce Cunningham's unique work who led an experimental performance through the old joint work with John cage had a great influence on Judson Group. Especially, hs accidental and imprompt style of dancing composition made the late modern choreographersaware of the importance of the spirit of inquiry and spirit of experiment based on autonomy and creativity.
The spirit of experiment should be, in the end, to the direction to turns the sharp sense of recognition on the complexity and variety of modern culture and the history and tradition depressed between each age and generation into a possibility. The performing art Post-modern dance stands for values much of the dramatization of a living, the sportive nature of art and the technical functions on the transmissional media but above all, needs the choreographer's snese. The choreographer should be able to feel and express directly the acts, many conditions and senses beyond tham he(or she) feels in the reality, I think.
