Scientific and theoretical foundations of the study of the modern domestic theatrical process

The article is devoted to the identification of interdisciplinary foundations of historical views and theoretical judgments in the development of theater studies, which are now widely recognized internationally. Theater studies that have combined theater practice, its history, theory and criticism are undoubtedly relevant. The modern world theatrical process poses new scientific problems to art researchers. Theatrical production as a “reduced model of the world” requires modern research methods. The search for a universal language for the analysis of the director’s philosophical interpretation, the actor’s artistic idea, the scenic relief sign, choreographic gesture, semantics in the coverage of performance, happening, site-specific, theatrical discourse and other productions of various forms are a relevant problem of modern theater studies. Recently, in theatrical practice, during the oral and written analysis of unique stage images, gestures and dance movements performed by the human body in performances, choreographic productions, national and ritual, everyday or social, etc., theater critics face a terminological deficit. Therefore, this article will be aimed at expanding the range of approaches to theater research with the strengthening of interdisciplinary connections based on the experience of applying the methodology of social sciences research in the field of theater studies.
