Elena Shcherbakova: the Igor Moiseev Ensemble is a unique phenomenon in the world dance culture. Ballet Ensemble of Igor Moiseev Igor Moiseev dances

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 direction 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 arose to travel abroad, 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 choreographers who know folklore well. Miklos Rabai (Hungary), Lyubusha Ginkova (Czechoslovakia), Ahn Sung Hee (Korea) carried away with his idea. This program brought together samples 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.

The State Academic Folk Dance Ensemble named after Igor Moiseev is the first and only professional choreographic group in the world engaged in artistic interpretation and promotion 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 have been continuity and creative interaction of traditions and innovation. The main task, which was first set before the artists by the founder of the ensemble, Igor Moiseev (1906-2007), is the creative processing of folklore samples that existed at that time in the USSR. To this end, the artists of the ensemble went on folklore expeditions around the country, where they searched for and recorded disappearing dances, songs, rituals. As a result, the first programs of the ensemble appeared: "Dances of the Peoples of the USSR" (1937-1938), "Dances of the Baltic Peoples" (1939). In the repertoire of the ensemble, folklore samples received a new stage life and were preserved for several generations of viewers around the world. For this purpose, Igor Moiseev used all the means of stage culture: all types and types of dances, symphonic music, dramaturgy, scenography, acting skills.

An important step was the development and creative 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 living examples 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, the true artistic meaning of the ensemble's stage works. Since that time and until now, the ensemble has been a school and a creative laboratory for choreographers from 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 well-known experts in folklore choreographers Miklos Rabai (Hungary), Lyubusha Ginkova (Czechoslovakia), Ahn Song-hi (Korea), whom Igor Moiseev attracted to work, the program "Peace and Friendship" (1953) was created, which for the first time collected samples of European and Asian dance folklore of eleven countries.

Based on the model of the Igor Moiseev Folk Dance Ensemble, choreographic groups were created in all the republics of the USSR (now the CIS countries), as well as in many European countries.

The Folk Dance Ensemble is the first Soviet group to go on tour during the Iron Curtain period. In 1955, the artists of the ensemble performed for the first time in Paris and London. The triumph of the Soviet dance troupe served as the first step towards international detente. In 1958, the Igor Moiseev Ensemble was also the first of the domestic ensembles to perform in the United States. The successful tour, the American press admitted, melted the ice of mistrust towards the USSR and became the basis for establishing new, constructive relations between our countries.

Another important merit of the Folk Dance Ensemble is the creation of the unique Moiseev School of Dance (1943), the only one in the world. Its distinguishing features are high professionalism, virtuoso technical equipment, and the ability to convey the improvisational nature of folk performance. Actor-dancers, brought up by Igor Moiseev, are widely educated, versatile artists who are fluent in all types of dance, capable of embodying the national character in an artistic image. The dancer of the Moiseev school is the best recommendation anywhere in the world, in a choreographic group of any direction. The artists of the ensemble were awarded the titles of Honored and People's Artists of the USSR and Russia.

A vivid expression of the creative principles of educating actors-dancers is the program "The Road to Dance" ("Class Concert"), which clearly shows the creative path of the team from mastering individual elements to creating full-scale stage paintings. For the program "The Road to Dance" (1965), the group was the first of the folk dance ensembles to be awarded the title of "Academic", and Igor Moiseev - the Lenin Prize.

For their concert activity, which has been going on for more than 70 years, the team was awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples. The ensemble has rightly been and remains the hallmark of our country abroad.

On different continents, viewers of different generations fell in love with the “crown” numbers of the Ensemble, which became the “calling cards” of the group: the legendary “Partisans”, the naval suite “Yablochko”, the old urban Quadrille, the Moldavian Jock, the Ukrainian Gopak, the Russian dance “Summer”, the incendiary Tarantella. The Ensemble gained great success with bright one-act performances staged by Igor Moiseev with the involvement of the means and techniques of world folk and theatrical culture - "Vesnyanki", "Tsam", "Sanchakou", "Polovtsian Dances" to the music of A. Borodin, "At the Skating Rink" on music by I. Strauss, "Night on Bald Mountain" to music by M. Mussorgsky, "Spanish Ballad" to music by Pablo di Luna, "An Evening in a Tavern" to music by Argentinean composers, etc.

And now, after the death of the permanent leader of the ensemble, Igor Moiseev, the choreographic level of the group still serves as an unsurpassed standard, and the title of "Moiseev" is synonymous with high professionalism.

On September 26-27, Tashkent will host one of the most anticipated cultural events, a long-awaited holiday for connoisseurs of the art of dance and music - the legendary State Academic Folk Dance Ensemble named after Igor Moiseev will perform on the stage of the Palace of Forums. 80 ballet dancers arrived to impress the Tashkent audience with the beauty of the dances of the peoples of the world.

On the eve of the charity concerts, we had a chance to talk with the artistic director of the ensemble, Elena Shcherbakova. She spoke about the history of the group's creation, repertoire, hard everyday life and tours, the founder of the ensemble - choreographer and choreographer Igor Moiseev, and shared her impressions of Tashkent, which she visited 36 years ago.

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

The ensemble was created in 1937. Igor Alexandrovich Moiseev is a great choreographer, director, philosopher, creator of the genre of folk stage choreography, who transferred folk dance to the professional stage and made it a professional art form based on his own unique choreography, which is subject to the laws of stage art. Igor Moiseev created his own school at the ensemble, which was founded in the hardest time - in the midst of the Great Patriotic War, in 1943. Today, 99% of the ensemble's artists are the best graduates of our school. This year, the school-studio attached to the ensemble will celebrate its 75th anniversary.

A red thread through all the unique work of Igor Moiseev is his philosophy of goodness, which today not only completely preserves, but also multiplies Igor Moiseev's Ballet - to bring good to people, regardless of political regimes, ethnicity, religion.

How the future artists of the ensemble study

We accept children from 12 to 14 years old, after the 8th grade of a general education school.

We do not focus on the fact that children perform from the first year of study - they show their first concert just before graduation, because the most important thing for us is to teach them the basics of classical dance, the basics of acting and, of course, the Moiseev dance school. Without this, it is impossible to enter the big stage. Our main task is to make students understand that everything they will dance on stage was understandable to the viewer. Every movement of the head, arm, leg should say something, tell about something. Folk dance does not happen without a theme.

About the working days of the “Moiseevites”

The Moiseevites have a six-day working week, with only one day off. Our working day starts at 10 am, with a classical dance lesson to prepare the artist for rehearsals and lasts until 15.00, and then from 19.00 to 21.00. Between our rehearsals there are school classes in our halls. Unfortunately, she still does not have her own building.

About ballet dancers

There are 90 ballet dancers in the ensemble, their average age is 23-25 ​​years. But we have a unique artist, Rudy Khojoyan, People's Artist of Russia, holder of many orders and medals, who, at the age of 75, superbly performs the main role of "Father" in the Jewish suite "Family Joys", staged specifically for him by Igor Moiseev in 1994. Rudy Khojoyan is also the accompanist of all oriental and Caucasian dances in the ensemble. He is a teacher-repetiteur of the dance of the Argentine shepherds "Gaucho" - the hallmark of the ensemble.

About repertoire

We have preserved the entire repertoire of Igor Moiseev, which was played in the last years of his life, and even increased it. Now in our repertoire there are 200 unique numbers. We are constantly changing and updating the program - for example, 7 new dances and one mini performance have been added to the existing one - "Tango "Del Plata"" directed by the Argentinean choreographer Laura Roatta, which premiered in May 2018.

On the Ensemble Phenomenon

We have fully preserved all the unique heritage of Igor Moiseev, all the traditions laid down by the master, the Moiseev school of dance. Our performances are distinguished by the fact that everything that happens on stage is true. In addition, our artists have a unique energy, the ability to kindle enthusiasm among the public. Even phlegmatic audiences at our concerts become temperamental. The Igor Moiseev Ensemble is the only group that has its own small symphony orchestra (32 people). All musical arrangements are written specifically for the composition of our orchestra. The repertoire includes unique one-act ballets staged by Igor Moiseev to the music of Russian symphonic composers - Borodin, Mussorgsky, Glinka, Rimsky-Korsakov.

About my own creative path

I came to the ensemble (1969) after graduating from the choreographic school at the Bolshoi Theater, now it is the Academy of Choreography. Seeing the ensemble, while still a student, I decided for myself that if I didn’t get into the ensemble, then I wouldn’t dance and immediately go to the pedagogical department of GITIS. I'm lucky. Igor Moiseev accepted me into the ensemble. Having worked for 23 years, becoming a soloist of the ensemble, before retiring, Igor Aleksandrovich suggested that I try myself as a teacher at our school, and two years later, in 1994, he proposed me to become the director of the ensemble. The time was very difficult, the 90s, perestroika, no one cared about art. But we managed to keep the ensemble in its original form!

About art in the modern world

November 2, 2018 will be 11 years since our creator is not with us, but we hold the bar to the highest, everything is as it was under Igor Alexandrovich. Unfortunately, today there is a tendency to include pop elements and modern music in folk dances. I will not accept this. I am for the purity of the genre. I am for every nation to keep and pass on folk dances from generation to generation. For me, folk dance and the word "show" are incompatible.

In addition, developing technologies are sometimes not the best companions for art, as they clog spirituality. People stop reading books - the Internet thinks for them.

Today, decoration is very fashionable - a lot of lights, light decorations, costumes with sparkles. But among the people it was different. The motto of the Moiseevites is a minimum of embellishment - a maximum of performance.

About Tashkent and Uzbek dance

I am shocked by the beauty of Tashkent, like all our artists who are here for the first time. Oriental hospitality is felt on every corner. It is an old dream to return the ensemble to Uzbekistan, and Gazprombank, Uzbekneftegaz JSC, Eriell Group, an international oil service company, were able to realize it, for which many thanks to them.

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. The ensemble's repertoire includes an Uzbek dance with dishes staged by Igor Moiseev back in 1937. Now it is a huge success. This year in Italy, the Uzbek dance was given a standing ovation by the audience.

On February 10, 1937, the State Academic Folk Dance Ensemble named after Igor Moiseev was created.

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 (this is how 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 expressing 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.

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.

School-studio

"Studio School at the State Academic Folk Dance Ensemble under the direction of Igor Moiseev" was formed in September 1943 as a study group at the ensemble. Engaged in the preparation of artists and is the main source of personnel to replenish the troupe. The training program includes special disciplines: classical dance, folk stage dance, duet dance, jazz dance, gymnastics, acrobatics, acting, playing the piano and folk musical instruments, music history, theater history, ballet history, painting history, history ensemble.
