Abstract

The purpose of this research was the creation of a catalog of patterns obtained from contemporary dance movements. Through research in the contemporary dance academies of the city of Riobamba, experts were interviewed to obtain the most important data of this type of dance and its correlation with art and design. Then a photographic compilation of the movements performed by the dancers was made, from the photographs silhouettes were obtained, which were analyzed by design principles, they were classified into sections according to the topics that experts consider are the ones they use most in this dance like love, nature, everyday life and social issues or enigmas. Which were also used in the color of the compositions. With the silhouettes that met the design principles, variants were created so that they were used in a grid to create patterns. The result of this investigation was the creation of a catalog with the compilation of the most important information about this type of dance, the photographs of the dancers, the process of creating the patterns through the silhouettes, variants and chronomatics, ending with the possible applications of the designs in different textile supports, school supplies, and interior decoration. It is concluded that contemporary design and dance are similar art forms, due to their creation elements and processes. Applying design in dance is a way of contributing to art. Designers are recommended to take as a source of inspiration for the creation of concepts, designs or new forms to the factors and situations involved in dance and performing arts in general.
