论舞蹈作品表演者的作者地位

Dancer as Co-author of Choreographic Works

长久以来,舞蹈表演者一直作为邻接权主体而非以作者身份出现在著作权法中,只能受到表演者权而非狭义著作权的保护。本文从界定舞蹈表演与舞蹈表演者内涵的角度出发,分析舞蹈作品的构成要件,探讨舞蹈表演对舞蹈作品创作的贡献和对其独创性的影响,在此基础上还原舞蹈作品表演者作为舞蹈作品合作作者的地位。

Dancers for choreographic works are regarded as performers rather than authors,therefore they can only enjoy the neighboring right protection via copyright law.By clarifying the definitions of performance and performers in choreographic works,this paper analyses the constitutive requirements of choreographic works and discusses the dancers’contribution to choreographic works and its originality,with an attempt to restore the co-author status for dancers.
