Tradition on the stage: dance and transmission between different aesthetics

Evaluation and the assessment of folk stage performances is a question that relates to a decision about the representativeness of the tradition. That is connected with the inevitable changes in aesthetics, depending on the context of the performance and its performers. Transmission of dance knowledge and the training methods also differ and sometimes prove to be ways of preserving the stylistic and structural particularities of the dance. We can follow two main types of performing groups in Croatia that are presenting the same tradition in different ways: those presenting their local, narrow homeland traditions, and those that are presenting someone else’s tradition. The third type of performing group is able to present both ways – mostly youngsters that are presenting local traditions in two ways with different aesthetics. In this paper, the debate over dance transmission is further developed in relation to the notion of aesthetics.
