Abstract

ABSTRACT This study attempts to test a simple method of consensus assessment of contemporary dance, which allows a viewer to subconsciously assess the manifestation of creativity in contemporary dance. The sample is represented by 12 choreographers, 46 dancers and 123 spectators. The main analysis was carried out using the capabilities of the LAVAAN package; to determine the influence of the main studied categories (experience and knowledge), the correlation was checked using Cohen's kappa (value 0.82, high level of reliability). Analysis of variance was used to determine the difference in average ratings of videos with dance performances. The results show that a real-life dance experience is critical. The fact that raters have had some dance lessons or that they regularly watch dance videos does not affect the final score in assessing the creative component of the shown contemporary dance. Raters with dance choreography experience rated creativity higher.
