Abstract

The article deals with the preservation of the tradition of Ukrainian folk scenography of the Poltava region in the pedagogical work of choreographers-directors, the peculiarities of the creative direction of each of the choreographic collectives of the Poltava region, the history of their formation and the form of making talented leaders. The authors highlight the common and distinctive features of the work of these collectives and analyze and compare the specifics of choreographic and vocal-choreographic productions. The article reflects unique figures that revived not only the Poltava regional dance but also the dance culture of Ukraine in general. Performances of Poltava folk ensembles in Estonia, Poland, Germany, France, and other countries near and far abroad, recognition of them and their repertoire on the world stage proves the value of Ukrainian folk scenography. The difference in the teaching of folk scenography in various types of amateur dance groups consists in the extent of formation of choreographic skills and skills of the members of the group (professional level of performance); the availability and number of training classes in various types of choreography (classical, modern, historical and every day, etc.) and auxiliary (acting skills, acrobatics, singing, playing musical instruments, etc.); creative activity in the social life of the university, the city, the country; created in the repertoire of the team, as well as in various pedagogical models of teachers-choreographers. Having analyzed the traditions of Ukrainian folk scenography of the Poltava region in the pedagogical work of choreographers-directors and the current state of the folk-stage choreographic culture of the Poltava region, we can conclude that in the Poltava region, there is a considerable number of collectives, both professional and amateur, which not only preserve the regional choreographic culture but also multiply it. Today, the leading ensembles that demonstrate their skills at the world level are the Honored Amateur Ensemble of Song and Dance «Ltava» named after V. Mishchenko, the dance group of the folk choir «Kalyna», the Song and Dance Ensemble «Poltava», the folk ensemble of Ukrainian dance «Cossack entertainments», choreographic ensemble «Falcons», etc. We consider the prospect of further research to be the creation of practical recommendations for training choreographer teachers to work with folk scenography in out-of-school education institutions; the use of specific methods of preparation of a choreographic work, which take into account the unique features of folk scenography of the Poltava region.
