The purpose of the paper is to consider modern performances that demonstrate the synthesis of music and dance. Research methodology. To achieve the goal, a set of methods was used: general scientific – analysis, synthesis, generalization, which were used to clarify the state of elaboration of the problem of music and dance synthesis in performances; concrete-scientific – comparative and structural analysis used to distinguish the main dance companies and features of performances; historical-genetic and retrospective, which were used to clarify certain historical aspects of the research problem; a biographical method that made it possible to consider the figure of famous performance art creators. Scientific novelty. For the first time in the domestic research area, modern performances that demonstrate the synthesis of music and dance were considered. Conclusions. The publication proves that the synthesis of music and dance is a powerful form of artistic expression that allows creating a unique and exciting experience for the audience. A dynamic, interactive event that integrally combines music and dance is a performance. It is found that the innovative performances that combine music and dance belong to the American choreographer Twyla Tharp. Collaborating with a wide range of musicians, artists, Tharp creates works (“Preludes and Fugues”, “Times Change”) that synthesize music and dance to create movement that is directly inspired by the rhythms and melodies of music. The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater with the performance “Grace” became a powerful innovative practice that combines the emotional depth of musical accompaniment and technical dance skill.
Key words: synthesis, music, dance, performance, synthesis of music and dance.
