Special type of art. Folk creativity is a two-perch of all modern trends and currents of music and choreography. The dance is the best mapping of the People's Soul, there is no place of falsehood - in the style of dance and musical drawing, ethnic and national features appear brightly and volume.

In 1937, the first professional was created in Russia folk ensemble. The main devotee and the head became Igor Moiseev - Now the owner of all possible awards and regalia, and then the head of the choreography of the theater of folk dance. The nobleman by origin, Igor Alexandrovich was a ballet dancer, then he worked as a balletmaster in the Bolshoi Theater, had a wonderful choreographic education. He saw the new ensemble as a collection of like-minded people in love with ethnic dance.

Folk Dance Ensemble Igor Moiseeva It was born in early February 1937. Then thirty dancers gathered in the Moscow House of the Choreographer in Leontievsky Lane and listened to the entrance word of the future leader with interest. Tasks that Moiseev Put before the team, were unexpectedly unusual. The master wanted the production to be as close as possible to reality, so the troupe had to ride a lot around the country, collecting folk elements and watching folk dance In the original performance.

The first work of the team was the program " Dancing peoples of the USSR"And a year later, in 1939 were presented to the public" Dancing of the Baltic peoples" Since 1940, Miseyev puts European dances, while never having left abroad, without seeing original compositions, the ensemble makes productions with the unique accuracy of images and movements.

Over the years, more than 300 folk compositions were delivered, the ensemble traveled with tour almost all countries of the world, gathered all possible state awards, including foreign states. Igor Alexandrovich until the last day did not leave the ensemble job.

The team is located in the concert hall named after P.I. Tchaikovsky.

The main task that Igor Moiseyev ensemble was put before the artists (1906-2007), - creative processing of folklore samples that have existed at the Soviet Union. For this purpose, the team's artists went to folklore expeditions around the country. As a result, the first ensemble programs appeared - "Dancing Peoples of the USSR" (1937-1938), "Dancing of the Baltic peoples" (1939).

In the repertoire of the ensemble, folklore samples received new scenic life and preserved for several generations of the audience around the world. For this purpose, Igor Moiseev was used almost all means of stage culture: various types and childbirth, symphonic music, dramaturgy, scenography, acting skills.

An important stage was the development and creative interpretation of European folklore. The program "Dancing Slavic peoples" (1945) was created in conditions when Moiseev had no opportunity to leave abroad. The choreographer recreated samples of dance creativity, consulting with musicians, folklinists, historians, musicians.

With the direct participation of famous ballersters Mikloshesh Rabai (Hungary), Lubshe Hungkova (Czechoslovakia), An Son Hee (Korea) Igor Moiseev was created by the program "Peace and Friendship" (1953), where samples of European and Asian dance folklore were collected for the first time.

In 1967, the first of the professional ensembles of the national dance team was awarded the rank of academic. In 1987, the ensemble was awarded the Order of the Friendship of Peoples.

Material prepared on the basis of RIA news and open sources

On September 26-27, one of the most anticipated cultural events will be held in Tashkent, the long-awaited holiday for connoisseurs of art of dance and music - on the stage of the Palace of Forums will be the legendary State Academic Ensemble of Public Dance named after Igor Moiseeva. To hit the Tashkent spectators with the beauty of the dances of the peoples of the world, 80 ballet artists arrived.

On the eve of charitable concerts, we managed to talk with the artistic director of the ensemble - Elena Shcherbakova. She told about the history of the creation of a collective, repertoire, heavy everyday life and tour, the creator of the ensemble - choreographer and the balletmister Igor Moiseyev and shared his impressions about Tashkent, who attended 36 years ago.

On the history of the appearance of the ensemble and its creator

The ensemble was created in 1937. Igor Alexandrovich Moiseev - Great Balletmaster, director, philosopher, the creator of the genital scenic choreography, who suffered a popular dance on a professional scene, and made it a professional type of art based on his own unique choreography, which is subordinated to the laws of scenic art. Igor Moiseev created his own school in the ensemble, which was founded in the hardest time - in the midst of the Great Patriotic War, in 1943. Today, 99% of the ensemble artists are the best graduates of our school. This year, the studio school during the ensemble will celebrate its 75th anniversary.

A red thread through all the unique creativity of Igor Moiseeva, his philosophy of good, which today not only fully preserves, but also increases the ballet Igor Moiseeva - to bear good people, regardless of political regimes, ethnicity, religion.

How future ensemble artists learn

We accept children from 12 to 14 years old, after grade of the secondary school.

We do not emphasize that children oppose the first year of study - they demonstrate their first concert before the release, because the most important thing for us is to train them the basics of classical dance, asam acting skills and, of course, the Moiseev school of dance. Without this, the exit to the big scene is impossible. Our main task is that students understand that everything they will dance on stage, it was clear to the audience. Every movement of the head, hands, legs should say something, talk about something. People's dance does not happen without the topic.

About labor weekdays "Moiseevtsev"

Working week at Moisevtsev has six-day, just one day off. Our working day begins at 10 am, from the classic dance lesson to prepare an artist to rehearsals and lasts until 15.00, and then from 19.00 to 21.00. School classes in our halls are held between our rehearsals. Unfortunately, she still does not have their own building.

About ballet artists

In total, in the ensemble of 90 ballet artists, their average age is 23-25 \u200b\u200byears. But we have a unique artist, Rudy Khodjoyan, People's Artist of Russia, the cavalier of many orders and medals, who in his 75 years perfectly performs the Main Party of Father in the Jewish Site "Family Joy", put on him Igor Moiseev in 1994. Rudy Khodjoyan is also an accompaniment of all Eastern and Caucasian dances in the ensemble. He is a teacher-tutor of the dance of Argentine shepherds "Gaucho" - a business card of the ensemble.

About repertoire

We have retained the entire repertoire of Igor Moiseeva, who walked in the last years of his life, and even inexped him. Now in our repertoire - 200 unique numbers. We constantly change and update the program - so, 7 new dances and one mini performance - "Tango" Del Plata "" in the formulation of the Argentine choreographer Laura Roatht, whose premiere was held in May 2018.

On the phenomenon of the ensemble

We fully retained all the unique heritage of Igor Moiseeva, all traditions laid by the master, Moiseevskaya school of dance. Our performances differ in that everything that happens on the stage is true. In addition, our artists have a unique energy, the ability to disperse the entrance from the public. Even phlegmatic spectators at our concerts become temperamental. The ensemble of Igor Moiseeva is the only team that has its own small symphony orchestra (32 people). All musical processing is written specifically for the composition of our orchestra. The repertoire has unique one-act ballets set by Igor Moiseev to the music of Russian composers-symphonists - Borodin, Mussorgsky, Glinka, Roman Corsakov.

About his own creative way

I came to the ensemble (1969) after the end of the choreographic school at the Bolshoi Theater, this is now the Academy of Choreography. Seeing the ensemble, while still a student, I decided that if I didn't get into the ensemble, I would not dance and immediately go to the pedagogical department of Gitis. I was lucky. Igor Moiseev took me to the ensemble. Having worked for 23 years, becoming a soloist of the ensemble, before leaving for a creative retirement, Igor Alexandrovich offered me to try myself as a teacher in our school, and in two years, in 1994 made me an offer to become the director of the ensemble. The time was very heavy, the 90s, restructuring, no one was affairs to art. But we managed to keep the ensemble in the original form!

Elena Shcherbakova and Igor Moiseev

About art in the modern world

November 2, 2018 will be 11 years old, as with us there is no our creator, but the bar we keep the highest, all, as it was when Igor Alexandrovich. Unfortunately, today there is a tendency, including pop elements and modern music on folk dances. I unaccept it. I am for the purity of the genre. I for the fact that every people kept and transmitted folk dances from generation to generation. For me, the people's dance and the word "show" are incompatible.

In addition, developing technologies are sometimes not the best satellites for art, as they score spirituality. People cease to read books - Internet thinks for them.

Today, very fashionable decoration - a lot of lights, light scenery, suits with sparkles. But in the people everything was different. Moisevtsev's motto is a minimum of decorations - the maximum of the execution.

About Tashkent and Uzbek dance

I am shocked by the beauty of Tashkent, like all our artists who are here for the first time. Eastern hospitality feels on every corner. Return an ensemble to Uzbekistan a long-standing dream and it was possible to embody "Gazprombank", JSC Uzbekneftegaz, the International Pettling Company Eriell Group, for which they thank you so much.

I was in Tashkent 36 years ago, during our tour, and this is a very long time, considering that we promote the culture of Uzbekistan around the world. In the repertoire of the ensemble there is a Uzbek dance with dishes supplied by Igor Moiseev in 1937. Now he has a huge success. This year in Italy Uzbek dance, the audience applauded standing.

Prehistory.

Formation of Moiseeva

In 1920, his father brought the 14-year-old Igor Moiseeva to the ballet studio of the faith of the Masola, the former ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater. According to the Father, the dances were to have a positive effect on the formation of the identity of the Son, as well as to give him the right posture and the Manera hold. Three months later, Vera Masolov, coming with Igor Moiseev to the choreographic technician of the Bolshoi Theater, said the director that Moses should learn from them. After the entrance exam, he was credited to courses.

At 18, after the end of the technical school, Igor Moiseev became a Bolshoi Theater dancer, and in 24 years old - a balletmaster and set several concerts. However, after changing the leadership of the Bolshoi Theater, the situation has changed. The new director Elena Malinovskaya was indignant by the fact that a 24-year-old dancer was the balletmaster: they usually became after leaving the scene and in more mature age. Malinovskaya did not remove Moiseeva from office, but he had banned him new dances. With the new main balletmaster Rostislav Zakharov, the situation in the theater became more difficult: Zakharov saw a serious competitor in Moses, which led to a long conflict.

History

Creating an ensemble

For the sake of work in the ensemble, Igor Moiseev left the academic scene and the position of soloist and the balletmaster of the Bolshoi Theater. The team was invited to the most talented participants of the festival. The main task of the ensemble Igor Moiseev considered the creative processing and popularization of the dance folklore of the peoples of the USSR, to study which artists went on the expedition and fixed folk dances, songs and rites throughout the country.

To recreate accurate samples of dance creativity, the ensemble consults with musicians, folklinists, historians and musicians. For maximum disclosure and expression of dance expression, classical music, acting skills, dramaturgy and scenography were widely used. Igor Moiseev supported a high level of professionalism of all dancers and did not highlight in a group of soloists: each participant of the production could perform both the main and secondary roles.

The date of the foundation of the theater is considered February 10, 1937: on this day the first rehearsal of the team took place. The first concert was held at the Moscow Theater "Hermitage" on August 29 of the same year. Initially, the team consisted of a small orchestra of folk instruments and thirty dancers.

Since 1938, the ensemble began to regularly perform in the Kremlin on banquets. After that, from Igor Moiseeva, he demanded 18 times to join the CPSU: it was believed that non-party states should not control the teams. In 1940, during the next banquet, Joseph Stalin asked the teams of the team. Igor Moiseev complained about the lack of a suitable place for rehearsals, which had to spend even on the staircases. The next day, after the conversation, the team offered any metropolitan building to choose from. Igor Moiseev chose a dilapidated building, in which the State Theater named after Vsevolod Meyerhold was previously located. Three months later, the building was repaired and the rehearsal base of the group received a permanent room.

Military speeches

The folk dance school was opened in 1943 after the return of the ensemble to the capital. Her graduates were obtained both in the ensemble itself and in other dance groups.

Post-war

The peak of the popularity of the ensemble came to the postwar years. Gant was a business card of the USSR and became the first ensemble in the country, which visited touring in more than 60 countries. For example, in 1945, the team visited Finland, in 1954 - China, in 1955 - France and the United Kingdom, in 1956 - Lebanon, Egypt and Syria. In 1958, the ensemble visited the United States, in 1963 - in South America, and in 1974 in India. The speeches contributed to the establishment of constructive interstate relations and even influenced: after the speech in France in 1953, the French junction began to wear Cossack boots. Every year on tour in the country and abroad left for nine months.

In 1965, the team "Road to Dance" the team received the title of academic ensemble, and in 1987 he was awarded the Order of the Friendship of Peoples. In 1989, after touring in Israel, diplomatic relations were established between the USSR and Israel.

Modernity

Igor Moiseev worked with a team to death and even being in the hospital gave recommendations to dancers after watching video recordings of the ensemble rehearsals. He died on November 2, 2007, without having lived two months to 102 years. For more than 70 years of work, Igor Moiseev put about 300 works. According to him, "there was one lucky circumstance in the life of the ensemble: the team quickly received recognition and for decades did not know the failures." After the death of the artistic director, the ensemble received his name.

Since 2011, Elena Shcherbakova has been occupied by Elena Scherbakov's artistic director of the ensemble. For 2012, the seventh generation of Moisevtsev worked in the team: 90 ballet artists and the orchestra of 32 musicians. The repertoire of the ensemble exceeded 300 original numbers. In 2015, the ensemble received the status of a particularly valuable object of the cultural heritage of the peoples of Russia. On the 80th anniversary of the ensemble, the team has formed an anniversary program, which consisted of works in the formulation of Igor Moiseeva. An exhibition was also opened to the anniversary, where costumes were presented, unpublished manuscripts, concert program programs, photos of the team participants, inventory of the ensemble gifts for 1939-1948 and souvenir matchboxes with an image of artists.

In 2018, the artistic director of the ensemble Elena Shcherbakov was awarded the Order "For Merit to Fatherland" IV degree.

Repertoire

Igor Moiseev put folk dances along the canons of the XIX century and honed the classical technique of artists. Since Soviet and modern authors did not possess a similar culture, the team was extremely difficult to update the repertoire after the death of the founder of the ensemble. However, a new number is constantly emerging in the repertoire of the ensemble. For example, the Adygsky dance of Aslan Hadzhaeva "Tlyapatt", the Korean "Trio" - for the intersection of the dance Kim Jong Il sent national costumes and balletmaster to Moscow. The once-closed number of 1961 "Rock and Roll" was also restored, which at one time caused a stormy rush among the audience and followed the folk dances.

The best dances of the ensemble are "Sirtaki", "Apple", "Hungarian dance", "Tatar", "Kalmyk dance", "Finnish Polka", the dance of the Argentine shepherds "Gaucho", "Night at Lysa Mount", "Russian dance".

The State Academic Ensemble of Public Dance named after Igor Moiseeva is the first and only professional choreographic team in the world, engaged in artistic interpretation and propaganda of dance folklore of the peoples of the world.

The ensemble was organized on February 10, 1937, and since then the main artistic principles of its development are the continuity and creative interaction of traditions and innovation. The main task that Igor Moiseyev ensemble (1906-2007) was first put before the artists (1906-2007), - creative processing of folklore samples at the USSR. To this end, the artists of the ensemble went to folklore expeditions in the country where they were found and fixed the disappearing dances, songs, rites. As a result, the first ensemble programs appeared: "Dancing Peoples of the USSR" (1937-1938), "Dancing of the Baltic peoples" (1939). In the repertoire of the ensemble, folklore samples received new scenic life and preserved for several generations of the audience around the world. For this purpose, Igor Moiseev used all means of stage culture: all types and childbirth of dancing, symphonic music, dramaturgy, set design, acting skills.

An important stage was the development and creative interpretation of European folklore. The program "Dancing Slavic peoples" (1945) was created in unique conditions: without having the opportunity to leave abroad, Igor Moiseev recreated live samples of dance creativity, consulting with musicians, folklorists, historians, musicians. On the tour in 1946 in Poland, Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, the audience were amazed by the accuracy of the rates, the right artistic meaning of the scenic works of the ensemble. Since that time, still an ensemble is a school and a creative laboratory for ballersters of different countries, and its repertoire serves as a kind of choreographic encyclopedia of the dance culture of the peoples of the world. With the direct participation of the famous connoisseurs of folklore ballersters Mikloster Rabai (Hungary), Lyubura Gincovka (Czechoslovakia), An Son Hee (Korea), which Igor Moiseev attracted to work, created the program "Peace and Friendship" (1953), where European and Asian dance folklore eleven countries.

By sample of the ensemble of national dance, Igor Moiseyev, choreographic groups were created in all republics of the USSR (now CIS countries), as well as in many European countries.

The folk dance ensemble is the first Soviet team, which in the period of the Iron Curtain was released on tour. In 1955, the artists of the ensemble first performed in Paris and London. The triumph of the Soviet dance troupe served as the first step towards international discharge. In 1958, Igor Moiseyev's ensemble was also the first of the domestic teams in the United States. Successful tour, recognized the American press, melted the ice distrust of the USSR and became the basis for the establishment of new, constructive relations between our countries.

Another important merit of the ensemble of the people's dance is the creation of a unique, the only dance of the Moiseevskaya school in the world (1943). Its distinctive features are high professionalism, virtuoso technical equipment, the ability to transfer the improvisational nature of the national execution. Actors-dancers brought up by Igor Moiseev - widely educated, universal artists who are fluent in all types of dance capable of incarnating the national character in an artistic image. The dancer of the Moiseev school is the best recommendation at any point of the planet, in the choreographic team of any direction. The artists of the ensemble are awarded the titles of Honored and People's Artists of the USSR and Russia.

The bright expression of the creative principles of education of actors-dancers is the program "Road to Dance" ("Class-Concert"), in which the creative path of the team is clearly shown from the development of individual elements before creating full-scale scenic cloths. For the program "Road to dance" (1965), the team first of the ensembles of national dance was awarded the title of "Academic", and Igor Moiseev - Lenin Prize.

For its concert activities, which continues more than 70 years, the team was awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples. The ensemble was rightfully and remains the visiting card of our country abroad.

On different continents, the viewers of different generations were loved by the "coronal" numbers of the ensemble, which became the "business cards" of the team: the legendary "partisans", the Fleet Suite "Apple", the old city cadrill, Moldavian LOK, the Ukrainian hopak, Russian dance "Summer", incendiary Taranthella. The great success of the ensemble was reducing the bright one-act performances set by Igor Moiseev with the involvement of funds and techniques of world folk and theater culture, - "Vezhniki", "Tsam", "Sunchalo", "Polovtsy dances" to music A. Borodina, "on the rink" on The music of I.Shtraus, "Night on Lysa Mount" to the music of M. M.Morusorgsky, "Spanish Ballad" to the music of Pablo di Luna, "Evening in the tavern" to the music of Argentine composers, etc.

And now, after leaving the life of the permanent leader of the ensemble Igor Moiseyev, the choreographic level of the team continues to serve as an unsurpassed standard, and the title of "Moiseevts" is a synonymal of high professionalism.
