Literature is a term used to

describe written or spoken

material. Broadly speaking,
"literature" is used to
describe anything from
creative writing to more
technical or scientific works,
but the term is most
commonly used to refer to
works of the creative
imagination, including
works of poetry, drama,
fiction, and nonfiction.

Dance is a type of art that

generally involves movement
of the body, often rhythmic and
to music.It is
performed in
many cultures as a form
of emotional, expression, social
interaction, or exercise, in
a spiritual or performance
setting, and is sometimes used
to express ideas or tell a story.
Dance may also be regarded as
a form of nonverbal
commjunication between
humans or other animals, as
in bee dance and behaviour
patterns such as mating dance

Choreography is the art of

c r e a t i n g d a n c e s ,
and dance can be the
language to tell stories
Dance and literature weave the
stuff of everyday human life
movement and languageinto
art. They share the common
goal of communication,
embracing processes of
questioning, theme-formation,
exploration, investigation,
articulation, feedback, and
revision. Yet their materials,
forms, and domains of
expression and response are
sometimes distinct and
s o m e t i n e s n o t

Dance is often referred to as a language

Dancers have written their own

manifestos and scripts

Particular literary works have

been sources of choreografy

Some choreographers engage writing in the

creative processtheir own and that of their
collaborators (dancers, musicians, and
others)
Dance has played a role
in many works of
literature and poetry
Since the early twentieth
century, dancers have
explored use of text in
choreography. What role
does text play for dance
in these cases? What
does it add to a dance?
What does it say that
dance alone cannot?

It is not only the link between

literary works and ballet
It is a feedback process in
which both worlds gain
It should be noted that
production is prolific, there
are many works not only
inspired stories, novels,
legends, oral tradition, but
also in biblical texts,
Greek myths and legends,
etc. Literature and dance
interact to enable new
public, new looks, new
readings

Relationship literature - ballet can be divided into two types: direct,

when theres an adaptation of a literary work to the ballet, as in the
case of Don Quixote; indirect when the ballet was created from a
script by adding an additional mediation. This is the case of two
repertory works: The Swan Lake and Giselle.
