April became the culminating moment in the activities of the student scientific circle "Scenic Dialogue," as it was during this month (April 2) that a large-scale approbation of the students' research took place within the International Scientific and Practical Conference "Synergy of Tourism, Hospitality, and Creative Industries: Science, Education, Practice." The meeting of the circle was dedicated to summarizing the participation in the sectional sessions and preparing materials for publication in the final book of abstracts. This stage demonstrated the high level of intellectual preparation of the students from the Department of Performing Arts and Culture and the readiness of young artists for professional dialogue with the scientific community.
The program of Section 2, dedicated to performing arts within the space of modern creative industries, served as a platform for presenting a wide range of research covering both classical traditions and contemporary performative practices. During the conference, the results of Horodenko A.’s work were presented regarding the role of classical dance in the system of professional actor training and the concept of eco-performance at the turn of the century. The scientific inquiry of the students also touched upon the digital transformations of the industry, which was reflected in Stulnikova K.'s work on expanding the boundaries of scenic existence under digitalization and Osadchuk D.’s study on the adaptation of classical drama for smartphone screens and streaming service formats.
Special attention within the section was paid to the evolution of musical-theatrical forms, particularly in the presentations by Prokopenko K., who traced the path from classical opera to the musical, and Pukhalska S., who analyzed the Broadway and West End models as commercial benchmarks of the entertainment industry. Questions regarding the social role of art in crisis periods were central to the presentation by Torianyk D. on stage projects as a means of rehabilitation, as well as in the work of His D., where the activities of the Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theater were considered a significant socio-cultural phenomenon in wartime conditions. Additionally, Dzhym P. presented an analysis of the influence of acting techniques on real life within modern creative industries.
The moderators of the circle noted that successful participation in the conference and the subsequent publication of theses are evidence of the formation of professional thinking in future specialists capable of analyzing complex cultural processes. The April meetings confirmed the importance of synergy between theoretical developments and practical experience, allowing students to actively shape the scientific discourse around problems of theatrical pedagogy and artistic expression. The completion of this stage became a significant contribution to the scientific activities of the department and an important step in the professional development of every participant in "Scenic Dialogue."
