Architectural-designer proto-scenic forms of space of traditional Ukrainian ceremonies

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to characterize and typify the proto-scenic forms of the space of traditional Ukrainian ceremonies. The methodological basis of the study is a systematic art analysis. The scientific novelty of the research lies in typifying and systematizing the forms of the proto-scenic space of traditional Ukrainian rites regarding their architectural and design characteristics. Conclusions. Architectural-designer proto-scenic forms of the space of traditional Ukrainian rituals are interrelated with the content of ceremonial actions. The traditional Ukrainian hut, which can be interpreted as the form of the closed proto-scenic space, serves as a variant of the proto-scenic space of traditional Ukrainian rites, because the stage and spectator areas are separated there; an action takes place in the stage zone of the space and together they are decorated corresponding to the circumstances of the plot. Another option is the open space of rural streets, squares, cemeteries, shores of basins, forest lawns or pasture behind the village, etc., which also includes zonal distribution: locations for rituals and spectator places. A static and motional way of designing a space with floral and fiery tools was traditional. The location of the stage action was frontal, arenas and in motion in the form of a procession.
