Igor Moiseev State Academic Folk Dance Ensemble- choreographic folk dance ensemble, created in 1937 by choreographer and choreographer Igor Alexandrovich Moiseev. GAANT named after Moiseev is the world's first professional choreographic group engaged in artistic interpretation and promotion of dance folklore of the peoples of the world, including Jewish, Mexican, Greek dances, as well as dances of the peoples of the CIS.

Team history

GANT named after Igor Moiseev was founded on February 10, 1937, on the day when the first rehearsal of a troupe of 30 people took place in the Moscow house of the choreographer at Leontievsky lane, house 4. The task that Moiseev set for young artists was to creatively process and present on stage the samples of USSR folklore that existed at that time. To this end, the ensemble members went on folklore expeditions around the country, where they searched for, studied and recorded disappearing dances, songs and rituals. As a result, the dance troupe's first programs were Dances of the Peoples of the USSR (1937-1938) and Dances of the Baltic Peoples (1939). Since 1940, the ensemble had the opportunity to rehearse and perform on the stage of the Tchaikovsky Hall, and it was this theater that became the home for the ensemble for many years.

To achieve maximum expressiveness and expressiveness of the dance performance, Igor Moiseev used all the means of stage culture: all types and types of dances, symphonic music, dramaturgy, scenography and acting skills. In addition, Moiseev took as a basis the principle of equality of the artists of the ensemble, from the very beginning there were no soloists, leading dancers and corps de ballet in the team - any participant could play both the main and the secondary role in the production.

An important stage in the creative development of the team was the development and updated interpretation of European folklore. The program "Dances of the Slavic Peoples" (1945) was created in unique conditions: not being able to travel abroad, Igor Moiseev recreated samples of dance creativity, consulting with musicians, folklorists, historians, and musicologists. On tour in 1946 in Poland, Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, the audience was amazed at the accuracy of the productions and the true artistic sense of the ensemble's stage works. With the significant participation of well-known choreographers and experts in folklore Miklos Rabai (Hungary), Lyubusha Ginkova (Czechoslovakia), Ahn Song-hi (Korea), whom Igor Moiseev attracted to work, the program "Peace and Friendship" (1953) was created, where for the first time they were collected examples of European and Asian dance folklore from eleven countries.

From the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the Folk Dance Ensemble under the direction of Moiseev toured Siberia, Transbaikalia, the Far East, and Mongolia.

In 1955, the ensemble became the first Soviet group to go on foreign tours to France and Great Britain.

Belarusian dance "Bulba"

In 1958, the ensemble was also the first of the Soviet bands to go on tour in the USA.

The quintessence of the creative path of the Moiseev GAANT was the class-concert "The Road to Dance" (1965), which clearly demonstrates the development of the team from the development of individual elements to the creation of full-scale stage paintings. In 1967, for the "Road to Dance" program, GAANT was the first of the folk dance ensembles to be awarded the title of academic, and Igor Moiseev was awarded the Lenin Prize.

Despite the fact that in 2007 the ensemble lost its leader and ideological inspirer, the Moiseev GAANT continued to perform and tour around the world. For its concert activity, which has been going on for more than 70 years, the ensemble was awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples. GAANT is the only group of its kind that has performed at the Opéra Garnier (Paris) and La Scala (Milan). In terms of the number of tours, it is listed in the Russian Guinness Book of Records as an ensemble that has visited more than 60 countries. .

For the best performance in 2011, the ensemble was awarded the Grand Prix of the Anita Bucchi choreographic award (Italy), and at the premiere program on December 20, 2011, as part of a triumphant Paris tour, UNESCO awarded the ensemble with the Five Continents Medal.

Orchestra

In the early years of the ensemble's existence, concerts were accompanied by a group of folk instruments and a group of musical national instruments conducted by E. Avksentiev. Since the late 1940s, in connection with the expansion of the ensemble's repertoire and the appearance of the cycle "Dances of the Peoples of the World" in it, a small symphony orchestra was created with the involvement of a group of national instruments. The main merit in its creation belongs to the conductor S. Galperin.

To date, the ensemble's concerts are accompanied by a small symphony orchestra consisting of 35 people. Original arrangements of folk melodies in different years were created by conductors Evgeny Avksentiev, Sergey Galperin, Nikolai Nekrasov, Anatoly Gus, musician Vladimir Zhmykhov.

Orchestra artists also take part in ensemble productions. For example, in the suite of Moldovan dances “Hora” and “Chiocarlie”, a violinist in national costume plays on the stage. "Kalmyk dance" is accompanied by the sound of the Saratov harmonica, while the orchestra artist is dressed in a tuxedo. The one-act ballet "Night on Bald Mountain" begins with the performance of the stage orchestra in national Ukrainian costumes.

The concert of the Ensemble of Igor Moiseev every time becomes a very bright and noticeable event for numerous fans of folk dance. After all, everyone who wants to book tickets for this event will have a meeting with one of the most famous representatives of the genre and his no less striking works.

More than one generation of Russian and foreign viewers has grown up on the work of this truly legendary team. The Igor Moiseev Ensemble has an interesting and long history. It was founded in Moscow in 1937. Its creator was the famous worker of Russian art, the outstanding choreographer and choreographer Igor Alexandrovich Moiseev. In the shortest possible time, he assembled a highly professional troupe. And the task of this unique project was to popularize folklore dance art among the general public. From the moment of its foundation, the group began to perform not only Russian folk dances, but also dances of many other peoples of the world. At the same time, both well-known and unfamiliar works to the general public began to be staged here. Moiseev has always been an amazing collector of folk dances. Together with his wards, he constantly traveled on expeditions around the country in search of interesting material for creativity. Also later, collectors and enthusiasts from many other countries of the world began to help him. This made it possible to show truly unique and inimitable numbers. It is not surprising that fame in their native country came to such an unusual team very quickly. He captivated the audience not only by the fact that rare dances can be seen here, but also by the fact that each program of artists is, as a rule, a full-fledged theatrical stage performance with perfectly selected music, costumes, and sometimes having a clear script and carefully created images. heroes. Even during the Great Patriotic War, the team did not stop its active work. And since 1955, the dancers began to regularly go on tour abroad. So they came to a stable international fame. Over the years, the team has repeatedly visited many countries of the world. Almost from the moment of its foundation, the ensemble has had a group of folk instruments. And later a symphony orchestra was created here. After the war, Igor Alexandrovich opened a school - a folk dance studio, at the ensemble, which then became a full-fledged educational institution.

At present, this ensemble is still the most famous national folk dance group in the whole world. After the death of its founder in 2007, the band did not cease to exist, but still actively performs in Russia and around the world. He also constantly expands the already huge repertoire with new interesting numbers and large-scale productions.

It has already entered the cultural heritage of choreographic art not only in Russia, but throughout the world. This group was one of the first to engage in the popularization and artistic stylization of folklore dances of different peoples.

The ensemble was created on February 10, 1937. 30 dancers were selected, who held the first rehearsal under the guidance of the choreographer's house in Leontievsky lane, house 4.

Initially, the leader suggested professionally, with a creative approach to process the folklore standards of dances of representatives of the peoples of the USSR that existed at that time.

But for this it was necessary to study the existing choreographic material well. Members of the ensemble began to go on expeditions around the country, searched for, got acquainted with the historical origin of dances, songs, rituals, bit by bit collecting precious finds of art for them.

The unique, bright original dances assembled by Moiseev’s team made it possible already in 1937-1938 to perform the first program “Dances of the Peoples of the USSR”, and in 1939 the public saw “Dances of the Baltic Peoples” in their performance. The concerts were held with great success and in 1940 the ensemble was given the stage of the Tchaikovsky Hall, and the theater was for a long time the home for the members of the already well-known group in the country.

As for the creative development and improvement of the ensemble members, the tutoring process included almost all types of stage culture: a variety of dances, symphonic music, drama, scenography and acting skills. From this, their productions became more and more vivid, memorable for their expressiveness, unlike each other.

One of the significant pages in the development of the creative potential of the ensemble is the program "Dances of the Slavic Peoples", shown in 1945. This was preceded by the study, development and interpretation of the folklore of the peoples of Europe. To undertake the creation of such a program was at that time a creative feat. There was no direct access to the necessary material due to historical events. Therefore, he selflessly searched for ways to recreate samples of European dance art, turning to historians, folklore researchers, musicologists and musicians for help. In 1946, the opportunity to travel abroad appeared, and the ensemble went on a tour of European countries. In Poland, Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, the audience applauded the performers. Fans of choreographic art were delighted and amazed by the unusually creative and faithfully transmitted dance heritage of European peoples.

The program "Peace and Friendship", presented in 1953, was created in close cooperation with talented ballet masters who knew folklore well. Miklos Rabai (Hungary), Lyubusha Ginkova (Czechoslovakia), Ahn Sung Hee (Korea) carried away with his idea. This program brought together examples of European and Asian folk dances from eleven countries.

In 1955, the ensemble became the first of the Soviet bands to go on foreign tours to France and Great Britain, and in 1958 on tour to the USA.

The class-concert "The Road to Dance" (1965) showed his achievement in the field of creating large-scale stage productions. And in 1967, for the program "The Road to Dance" GAANT was the first of the folk dance ensembles to be awarded the title of academic, and was awarded the title of laureate of the Lenin Prize.

In 2007, he died, but the team continues to conquer the world under his name. The ensemble is still the only folk group in the world that has performed at the Opéra Garnier (Paris) and La Scala (Milan). The team got into the Russian Guinness Book of Records as a champion in the number of countries (more than 60) in which it toured.

On account of the Ensemble Grand Prix choreographic award Anita Bucchi (Italy) for the best performance in 2011. At the premiere program on December 20, 2011, UNESCO awarded the ensemble with the Five Continents Medal.

In 1937, the outstanding Soviet choreographer Igor Alexandrovich Moiseev (1906–2007). created the Dance Ensemble of the Peoples of the USSR and led it until the end of his life. Moiseev started at the Bolshoi Theater and became one of the brightest character dancers of his time. The repertoire of the Moiseev Ensemble (that's what this group is called all over the world) includes numbers and entire programs dedicated, it seems, to all countries and peoples of the world. Moiseev artists perform Bashkir, Buryat, Vietnamese, Argentinean, Nanai and Korean dances. Not to mention Spanish, Russian and German. It is remarkable that all these nations and nationalities willingly recognized these dances as their own, despite the fact that they were all composed by Igor Moiseev. The choreographer, who lived for 101 years, saw the world as a single temperamental dance.

IGOR MOISEEV. Direct speech...

About the ensemble: “We are not dance collectors and we do not stick them like butterflies on a pin. We approach folk dance as a material for creativity, without hiding our authorship.”

On politics: “Thinking about politics convinced me that ordinary people are powerless to change anything. I remember the words of Seneca: "Accept with dignity the inevitable" - and I try to treat politics and politicians like bad weather, seeking and finding satisfaction in work.

On relations with the authorities: “The only thing I am grateful to the Soviet authorities for is that no one has ever interfered in my work. In addition, oddly enough, my work has always been party. In the sense that my searches in folk dance, in the expression of folk character through plasticity, turned out to be consonant with the ideas proclaimed by the party leaders. In fact, they didn’t say anything bad.”

REHEARSAL. CLASS-CONCERT

The Moiseev Ensemble has visited more than sixty countries of the world. The choreographer himself joked that it is easier to make a guidebook out of his life than a biography.

After the performance in New York, a well-dressed beautiful woman approached Moiseev and asked permission to kiss his hand. It was Marlene Dietrich.

In the second half of the 90s, Igor Moiseev's book “I Remember. . . A tour of a lifetime."

“Moiseev came up with a new stage genre - folk stage choreography. Precisely folk-stage, not historical dance, not folk-characteristic, which was in the ballet. This is a folk stage genre. Again, this is a folk dance,” says the director of the State Academic Folk Dance Ensemble. I. Moiseeva, People's Artist of Russia Elena Shcherbakova.

“It means stretched feet, somewhere closer to the classical material. Because it is impossible to bring to the stage what is danced, for example, at weddings, at festivities, it already carries such a shade of theatricality, ”explains the director of the school-studio at GAANT them. I. Moiseeva, People's Artist of Russia Guzel Apanaeva.

ARAGONIC JOTA

Popular recognition provided the ensemble with a full house in all cities of the Soviet Union. And the love of the country's leadership helped to solve organizational issues. In the 40th, after a short dialogue with Stalin, Moiseev was given a room for rehearsals. In 1943, he opened a studio school with the ensemble. And immediately after the end of the war, the “Iron Curtain” was opened for the Moiseevites.

“We had our first trip abroad - France. it was such a success. In those days there were still many old Russian emigrants in France. And after the concert they were waiting for us, kissing, crying. And it was so touching,” recalls the widow of Igor Moiseev, Honored Artist of the RSFSR Irina Moiseeva.

Abroad opened up opportunities for the restless choreographer to expand an already rather large repertoire. Igor Moiseev, as an inquisitive ethnographer, collected more and more new material for his ensemble and brought souvenir dances from each trip.

“Usually how did we do? We met with the team. Well, for example, we went to Venezuela and met with the Venezuelan team. We arrived in Argentina, enrolled in a tango school. They showed us the movements, and on the basis of these movements, Moiseev already staged his own production, ”says Guzel Apanaeva.

The type of transmission of movements “from feet to feet” can now rightfully be called the Moiseev system. All the numbers that Igor Alexandrovich put on, he could easily perform himself. Moreover, both male and female parties. Perhaps that is why the artistic director sought the perfect performance from his dancers.

“Here sits a man who, thank God, was already many years old, and he gets up, suddenly jumps up and says, “What are you doing, stop! Here exactly! One, over here! Well, repeat! No, not that again! He always had that ideal that he wanted others to express what he feels, what stood before him. This property is always very great artists,” says choreographer, People's Artist of the USSR Vladimir Vasiliev.

The same system formed the basis of education at the school with the ensemble. True, it was not Moiseev himself who undertook to train the children, but his dancers.

With us, each teacher teaches what he himself danced, what he has already absorbed into himself, remembers all the remarks of Moiseev, remembers all his wishes, the subtext of each movement. In principle, what I danced is easy for me to convey, because I know it inside and out, I will get up at night, I will dance it, ”says Apanaeva.

But until the very end, the choreographer personally took the exams. Moreover, he was equally strict in asking both teachers and future dancers.

“He made comments not only on technique, but also on acting, because, as he himself said, we have 2 professions: ballet dancers and actors,” says artist Alsu Gayfulina.

Until now, the ensemble's repertoire has remained unchanged. For example, the Russian dance "Summer", which is invariably present in every concert. And also "Aragonese Jota", "Polovtsian Dances", "Gopak" - more than 100 numbers in total.

The last year of the life of Igor Moiseev

“There will never be a second Moiseev anywhere. Because artists can do everything, but finding a choreographer who will create a canvas, come up with a performance that is interesting to the viewer, first of all, interesting to the artists, so that they dance and overcome, use their capabilities is difficult, ”says Apanaeva.
