Tracing the genesis of screendance and its relationship with audiovisual discourse
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines the precursors of screendance from the perspective of audiovisual discourse, using a sequential mixed methodology. The research was developed in two phases: content analysis and a stage of observation, identification and comparison of concepts. For this purpose, a universe of 562 works of screendance was delimited, of which a representative sample of 160 was analyzed. The findings show that different cinematographic and audiovisual manifestations have influenced the configuration of the screendance discourse. In particular, commercial fiction cinema has contributed classical narrative strategies linked to montage in continuity, while musical cinema has contributed with the integration of dance pieces as a fundamental part of the narration of the story. Likewise, experimental and avant-garde films have influenced screendance works through fragmentation and the exploration of new expressive forms. Videoart and videoperformance have provided a conceptual approach focused on the performativity of the body and the relationship between movement and image. However, the results of the study rule out the music video as a precursor of screendance, given that its structure and purpose respond to commercial dynamics that do not coincide with the aesthetic and discursive principles of screendance.
