To many who have seen this fragile, beautiful woman with huge eyes, a charming smile, and a chiseled figure, it seems that she is completely different from the professor. But the facts are a stubborn thing: the dance and plastic lessons of Alla Mikhailovna are remembered with gratitude by dozens of pop stars and students of theater universities from our country and neighboring countries. All of them unanimously declare that Seagalova is a choreographer with a capital letter. It was she who was the first in our country to seriously engage in modern dance.

Alla Sigalova - Honored Artist of Russia, Soviet and Russian choreographer, laureate of the Golden Mask award. She staged performances at the best venues in the world - at the Mariinsky Theater, at La Scala, at the Royal Opera (Brussels). Alla Mikhailovna is undoubtedly a strong, successful and self-sufficient woman, but there were difficult situations and terrible losses in her fate.

Biography of choreographer Alla Sigalova: childhood and youth

Probably, the fate of Alla Mikhailovna - the choreographer-producer famous and in demand not only in our country, but also in foreign countries - was predetermined even before her birth.

Alla's family belonged to the family of the artist Somov. Father Michael (Moses) is a Jew by nationality. He was a talented pianist. Mom Tamara Alexandrovna is Russian. She was a ballerina. In one of the interviews, Alla Mikhailovna admitted that her character was greatly influenced by her Jewish origin. It sometimes seems to her that Jewish blood boils more strongly in her than Slavic.

The girl Alla was born on February 28, 1959 in Stalingrad (now Volgograd). Parents moved there after graduating from a university in Leningrad by distribution. Two years later, the family with their little daughter returned to their native northern capital.

A creative atmosphere reigned in the Sigalovs' house at all times. Tamara Alexandrovna instilled in her daughter a love for literature, dance, poetry, and her father introduced the girl to the masterpieces of classical music. Art played an important role in Alla's life, but most of all she was fascinated by dancing. From the age of six she danced, and her father accompanied her on the piano.

Vaganovskoye school

The girl worked hard to become a student of the Vaganovsky school. Alla's teachers admired her amazing natural abilities, artistry and plasticity. Despite this, she did not immediately enter the famous Vaganov School, but during her studies she showed herself in the best possible way. The teacher N. M. Dudinskaya saw in Alla a dancer with a great future. The girl was great at dancing. The teachers of the academy were sure that the audience would soon see a rising ballet star on world stages.

But fate decreed otherwise. In the biography of Alla Sigalova, a tragedy occurred that changed her whole future life. While working at the ballet barre, Alla received a severe injury, which crossed out her plans and blocked her path to classical ballet. For six months the girl lay in a cast, and then she learned to walk for the same amount of time.

In addition to physical suffering, she also experienced mental suffering. As soon as her health was restored, Alla Sigalova moved to Moscow and entered GITIS for the course of A.V. Efros and I.M. Tumanov. True, later Alla Mikhailovna admitted that she had left for Moscow not only to enter the university. She could not see her fellow students and teachers and catch their sympathetic looks on herself. In 1983, Alla received a diploma as a choreographer and teacher.

Creation

In 1978, Alla Sigalova tried her hand at cinema. She played a major role in the Soviet-Turkish film "My Love, My Sorrow", based on the play by Nazim Hikmet. Stars of Soviet cinema such as Irina Miroshnichenko, Anatoly Papanov, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and popular Turkish actors starred in this tape.

Later, Alla's filmography was replenished with several more works: "Plato is my friend", "Split Sky", "Sky in Diamonds" and others. However, Alla Mikhailovna decided that the theater was closer to her.

Theater of Alla Sigalova

After working for a short time at the Satyricon Theater, Alla Mikhailovna decides to create her own dance group. In 1989, her theater became the first group in the country to promote and develop modern dance styles in dance. The original productions of the young choreographer Alla Sigalova very soon became known and popular in the country. The troupe began to go on foreign tours.

However, the economic situation in the country at the end of the nineties did not allow the team to develop. There were fewer and fewer performances, so in 1999 the theater ceased operations.

Working with the stars

During this difficult period, Alla Sigalova begins to work with pop stars. She puts on magnificent dance numbers for such singers as Anzhelika Varum, Laima Vaikule. All seasons of "Songs about the main thing" Alla Mikhailovna is the main choreographer of the project.

TV

For three seasons, Alla Mikhailovna, in collaboration with Alexei Begak, has been leading the television competition "Big Opera". And since 2010, viewers of the Kultura TV channel have been watching her author's programs with pleasure: Eye to Eye, All Russia.

In 2013, the Kultura TV channel began broadcasting the Big Jazz competition, which Alla and jazzman Vadim Eilenkrig were invited to host.

Teaching activity

Alla Sigalova, whose photo we posted in this article, in 2004 became a teacher at the Moscow Art Theater School, and later a professor at the department of plastic education. She transfers her knowledge not only to students, but also to dance teachers who come from all over the country. With master classes, Alla Mikhailovna visited many countries of North America and Europe.

Theatre

Alla Mikhailovna devotes a lot of time and energy to the theater. One of her most famous works was the musical performance "Poor Lisa" with Chulpan Khamatova in the title role, staged on the stage of the Theater of Nations, directed by Yevgeny Mironov.

In 2001, the audience could appreciate the production of "Dreams of Love" on the stage of the Variety Theater. Its premiere took place during the World Theater Olympiad. The famous choreographer staged the performance in collaboration with the Imperial Russian Ballet.

Another bright and memorable performance by Sigalova is the dance musical "Casting", which was successfully staged on the stage of the Theater. Moscow City Council. The main roles were played by Olga Kabo, Stanislav Bondarenko, Anatoly Adoskin. For staging dance numbers in the play “Carmen. Etudes" choreographer in 2008 was awarded the "Golden Mask" award. The skill of Sigalova was also appreciated in Latvia. For the production of "Othello", which premiered at the Latvian National Opera, she was awarded the "Best Ballet Performance of the Year" award.

A little about personal

According to Alla Sigalova, personal life is the most important thing a person has. Even a very successful career will never replace the warmth and love of close and dear people for a woman. She believes that a real woman is determined by her desire and ability to love. All the performances of the famous choreographer are about this. She is sure that there is nothing more important than a woman's ability to give this bright feeling.

In the second year of GITIS, Alla got married, and in 1982 her daughter Anna was born. The marriage broke up very soon. For 12 years, Alla Mikhailovna raised the child alone. She does not like to remember this experience of family life. Alla is grateful to her first husband only for her daughter, although many years after parting with her first husband, in an interview she admitted that she regrets that her daughter did not live with her father. She is sure that a complete family is the key to the proper upbringing of children.

The second husband of Alla Sigalova was a wonderful, intelligent and kind person - director Roman Kozak. A mature marriage (Alla was 36 years old at that time) brought her real female happiness. Alla not only loved her husband very much, but also respected him immensely. She was grateful to fate for giving her a meeting with this successful, strong, wise, confident and cheerful person. In marriage, a son, Mikhail, was born, who became a joy for parents.

Alla Mikhailovna appreciated every moment spent with her husband. They could talk for hours, they were always interested in each other. Roman considered his wife amazing. She fell asleep and woke up with a smile for all 16 years that they had a chance to live together. He always marveled at her ability to be an absolutely happy person. But happiness did not last long - in 2010 Roman Kozak died after a long illness. This year has become a real test for a fragile woman. In 2010, she buried not only her beloved husband, but also both parents.

Children

The children of Alla Sigalova (daughter Anna and son Mikhail, born in a second marriage) are the main achievement and wealth of her life. Alla Mikhailovna is absolutely sure of this. Daughter Anna has become a successful and already quite famous interior designer in the capital. She has her own construction design agency. Anna gave Alla Mikhailovna a wonderful grandson, Fyodor, in whom the famous grandmother does not have a soul and tries to spend time with him more often.

Son Michael became interested in television and journalism. He is studying in Washington to be an operator. Today Alla Sigalova leads an active creative life, full of energy, strength and new ideas. In July 2018, she informed her fans that she was learning to ride a bike. He thinks it's better to do it late than never.
