Scientific and theoretical basis of the study of performing arts by Kvitka Cisyk
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to trace the scientific and theoretical basis of the study of the performing arts of the American singer of Ukrainian origin Kvitka Cisyk. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive analysis of scientific literature and sources in this topic, which helps to form a holistic view of the state of scientific development of the problem of Kvitka Cisyk’s performing art. The scientific novelty lies in the holistic substantiation of the scientific and theoretical foundations of the study of Kvitka Cisyk's performing art. Conclusions. Having analysed the scientific and theoretical foundations of the study, the author can state the lack of scientific research on the artistic nature of Kvitka Cisyk's performing work and her special role in Ukrainian musical culture. It has been established that scientific publications in this area are insufficient, therefore, only a few publications by researchers cover certain aspects of her biography, descriptively consider the singer's repertoire focus, sometimes touching upon the problems of the stylistic and genre palette of vocal works, architectonics and specifics of their performance. The source base of the study provides sufficient material for a scientific analysis of the creative figure of Kvitka Cisyk. The representation of Ukrainian song in the process of the singer's performance appears as a way of national self-identification, preservation, and popularisation of national art in a non-ethnic environment. All this actualises the need for a thorough study of the performing creativity of the outstanding American singer of Ukrainian origin Kvitka Cisyk, in the development of national musical culture and art
