It is possible to simplify the essential
components used in the creative production of
contemporary dance as time, space, and body. In this
context, it is known that the component of time is
directly associated with the art of music. Since the
beginning of historical evolution and organic association
of dance with music, it has become especially
problematic as of the second half of the 20th century. It
is known that in the 20th century, artistic disciplines
determined their boundaries with artistic essentialism;
and within those boundaries, they built their aesthetic
forms as self-constructing elements. This essentialist
distinction made it possible for every discipline to
determine their components in an abstract fashion, and
thus search for commonalities among the founding
principles of each discipline in interdisciplinary
relations. These commonalities enabled
interdisciplinary dialog and a non-hierarchical,
horizontal structuring of artworks. Each work of art
thus created existed in the visibility of its own
discipline’s boundaries. In this article, the
interdisciplinary dialog is involved in the creation and
performance of dance and music. The article focuses on
the transformations during the interdisciplinary dialog
of dance and music, which merge in a historically
ontological foundation, and which are created outside
their traditional orientation.
As the structural transformations that interconnect
the here-and-now experience of dance and music in a
shared space are studied, the focus is on the
‘synchronicity’ method of interdisciplinary modes of
production in dance and music. In order to study the
synchronous production of dance and music through
examples, Atrophy 1 House of Names, Antigone
Divided, and Sar have been chosen. They were
produced in Turkey after the 2000s. In this context, how
the interdisciplinary and synchronous production mode
of dance and music is associated with improvisation will
be presented through a choreographic analysis of the
works as well as the semi-defined interviews with the
artists.
