Abstract
The cultural performances (for instance parades, demonstration, religious ceremonies, other types of festivities etc.) are defined by American sociologist, Jeffrey C. Alexander, in the book Social Performances as "the social processes by which actors, individually or in concert, display for others the meaning of their social situation – this meaning may or may not be one to which they themselves subjectively adhere." The actor's and the audience's bodies (and their mutual interaction) are conjoint elements for all different types of cultural performance and they work (from the semiotic perspective) as some components of model – the semiotic construct of sings, which represents other phenomenon, not really existing in concrete shared situation of cultural performance. The main aim of the propose paper is to draw up meanings of the moving body in cultural mass performances and its aesthetic value.
