ABSTRACT

There is no such kind of art which is interpreted by public, is judged emotionally and is explained mysteriously [1]. The issue about how to protect dance work by copyright law triggers many people to discuss. Some Chinese scholars responded this questions with their own opinions like protecting the records of choreography work, protecting the whole things on the stage, protecting the design of actions. The explanation of dance work in many countries' legislation and in Chinese judicial judgments are different dramatically, which reveals the veil that the connotation of choreography work is complicated. The combination of theater and dance makes dance art become an independent art category. At the same time, it also makes the dancing performance space is still limited in a special area. Network technology has brought new impacts to the dance works' copyright protection. So it is first to protect design of the action and it is also need to contain other elements that are some necessary materials, like lights, costumes, props and so on. The former is the soul of dance work and the later may be show the author's originality at sometimes.
