Abstract

• The purpose of the article to research the creative work of choreographers of Ukraine, who devoted a significant role in the staging work to dances on a labor theme. Relying on a certain historical concreteness, they accurately reflected different aspects of the relationship of people and classes in work with the expressive means of choreography. Most of them reflect the artistic images of people for whom work is the first vital need, a source of creative joy, and a sacred duty to society. Therefore, the content of their works was a love of work, a creative attitude towards it, a constant desire to improve their work, to increase their contribution to the common cause. The modern world has, to some extent, changed the attitude and attitudes of people in production, as well as their attitude to work. Therefore, artists-choreographers face new tasks in creative work on the creation of dances on a labor theme, and at the same time in reproducing life problems that concern a modern working man. The research methodology is based on the use of comparative and art historical methods. This methodological approach allows us to reveal and analyze the features and significance of dances on labor topics, which were staged by famous Ukrainian choreographers in folk stage choreography. The scientific novelty of the work lies in expanding the process of the creative associative imagination of the choreographer-director, using the images of workers from the people choreography, first of all, he must study and analyze well how people, their morals, way of life, technology have changed in the new conditions of society. New life gives birth to new dances, new plots, new choreographic compositions. Conclusions. When staging a folk-stage dance on a labor theme, in which the main character is the folk image of a worker, the choreographer, combining various arts in musical-plastic synthesis and possessing all the expressive means of dance, must understand well that the image of a single worker-worker is not the traits of a real person are simply written off; this is a generalized, typified image of a certain group of working people. In some cases, these generalizations in scale may be the face of the workers of an entire large enterprise. Thanks to the artist's creative work, the artistic images of workers reflect not only the production process, their relationship in production, but also form the national consciousness of society.
