ORGANIZATION OF THE WORK OF AMATEUR

FOLKLORE TEAM

for cultural workers

Dyurtyuli, 2015

Folklore(from English. folk lore- "folk wisdom") - folk art, most often oral. Artistic, collective, creative activity of the people, reflecting their life, views, ideals, principles; created by the people and existing among the masses.

Modern cultural and leisure institutions can work on the use of folklore and other types of traditional folk art in several directions.

1. Cultural and leisure institutions should orient people, especially young people, towards the assimilation of spiritual values ​​contained in folk art, for which it is necessary to use folklore and folk fine and decorative arts as widely as possible in mass art work.

2. Cultural and leisure institutions are designed to promote the search, collection, preservation and study of works of traditional folk art, for which it is necessary to organize search and research associations of ethnographers, amateurs folk art, lovers of folklore, local historians, lovers of history.

3. Employees of cultural and leisure institutions should act as organizers of direct artistic creativity in traditional folklore forms, which is possible within the framework of an amateur art group using folklore and folk art in their work.

When folklore is used in the work of amateur art groups, then its development goes this way:

collecting - creative processing - execution - creation.

As a result of such development, a comprehensive creative development of participants in amateur groups takes place, an educational impact is made on the audience and listeners present at concerts, as well as the development of folk art itself.

Modern folk group

A modern folklore group is an artistic and creative group whose repertoire is based on works of traditional folklore, perceived directly from authentic performers or indirectly through technical means. The folklore ensemble represents one or more local (local) singing, choreographic, instrumental folk traditions(one of them is basic in some cases). Authentic groups are predominantly rural performers of traditional folk music, carriers of the local tradition of folk culture, transmitting and perceiving it orally from generation to generation and formed under the influence of three factors: continuity, variability, selection of the environment.

Performing a folk song on stage is one of the effective ways promotion of folklore traditions. The transfer of musical and song folklore to the stage is always difficult, since the stage version of a folk song is torn off from the original environment of birth and development. When playing musical and song folklore, it becomes necessary to take into account the laws that have been developed by others. stage genres especially the dramatic arts. Great directorial work requires the interpretation of traditional rituals and scenes of folk festivals, they combine all types of folk art: singing, dancing, dramatic action. In the work on the stage embodiment of musical and song folklore, both choirmaster tasks and the requirements of knowledge of the laws of theatricalization are put forward before the leader. These laws dictate

first, the formation artistic image through the identification of the conflict, which is expressed in the relationship of the characters poetic text in their personal experiences.

Secondly, the organization stage action through the system means of expression theatrical art.

Basic methods of working with a folklore group

In their activities, the leaders of most amateur folklore groups are faced, on the one hand, with problems related to vocal technique, on the other hand, with problems of a folklore plan, such as the development and reconstruction of folklore and ethnographic materials, mastering the features of the sound and dialect of a particular local tradition, the specifics of implementation elements of folk traditions into modern cultural life, display features folklore samples and ritual fragments on the stage, etc.

Differences in folklore traditions different districts relate not only to the repertoire of singing village ensembles, but mainly to the features of the poetic dialect (dialect), the musical patterns of folklore samples (texture, rhythm, intonation, performing techniques), types of choreographic movement, the structure of ritual complexes, etc. That is why on present stage the closest attention should be directed to identifying the specific patterns of local traditions of one district, village council, and even one village.

Depending on the type of institution on the basis of which it is organized, folklore group can solve a number of the following tasks:

– research: study of stylistic patterns of local traditions of the area, reconstruction and restoration of forms of musical and song folklore, choreographic and ritual forms traditional culture(teams created at research and educational institutions);

- educational and methodological: development of methods for restoring traditional folklore in modern conditions, providing educational and methodological assistance to amateur folklore groups within the framework of seminars, internships, advanced training courses (groups created under the RDK);

- artistic and creative: the implementation of the restored forms of traditional musical culture in the modern ritual and everyday context and artistic practice (traditional rituals, holidays, festivities, etc., concert and lecture, educational activities) (all kinds of folk groups).

The methods of work of the folklore group, which sets as its main task the reconstruction and restoration of folk song traditions, are formed in the process of in-depth study of the content and form-forming patterns of folklore phenomena. First of all, in the process of studying song traditions, the team members are faced with the task of the most complete mastering a variety of "languages" traditional musical and song culture - verbal, musical and performing, choreographic. When solving this problem, the main principle of work should be constant “contact” with the ethnographic primary source - work with expeditionary records of authentic folklore samples, as well as, if possible, communication with the bearers of the tradition themselves. Possession of the musical language of a folk song implies knowledge of the most complete corpus of possible variants (melodic, rhythmic, textural, etc.) of the same song, genre within local tradition and the ability to freely use them in the process of singing. The study of the choreographic language of the local tradition includes identifying the features and types of choreographic movement (round dances, dances), plasticity, “language” of gestures, etc.

In a folklore ensemble (as well as in an ethnographic one), the singer is not a soloist, he is the “leader”, on which the beginning of a song or even each song stanza depends. At the same time, the other members of the ensemble are equal “makers” of the song; each of them fully determines the quality of performance and its correspondence to a particular situation (ceremonial, festive, etc.), the tone of the collective sound, the emotional state of the entire ensemble, as well as its energy “field” and much more.

One of the difficult problems that most folklore groups face is the display of folklore samples on stage, and even more so the staging of fragments of ritual complexes. The stage embodiment of a folklore phenomenon is always secondary in relation to the natural situation of its existence - ritual or festive. If the collective strives for the reliability of its performance, for compliance with tradition, then undoubtedly, at least at the initial stage of mastering folklore samples, it should look for the possibility of implementing them in a natural ritual and everyday situation - at a wedding, in the rites of the calendar cycle, at communal (village or urban) holidays and celebrations, in the field of family communication, etc.

For the first time about family folklore theater"Radonitsa" was heard in Novosibirsk in 1990 (in February-April), it became the very first family folklore ensemble in the entire Russian Union among amateur folklore ensembles. Until 1994, twelve families participated in the team. Parents and children (aged from ten months to twelve years) took part in it. All the participants traveled together on ethnographic expeditions to the villages and villages of the Russian regions. In particular, they visited the Kemerovo, Surgut, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Perm, Volgograd, Pskov, Vologda, Gomel regions, but this is not a complete list, they also visited the Altai Territory. In the villages and villages of the Novosibirsk region, they organized and held various calendar holidays, in accordance with the rites and customs of grandfathers and great-grandfathers, actively participated in all Russian folklore festivals.

We visited Yekaterinburg, Kaluga, Vologda, Barnaul, Moscow, Chelyabinsk, Krasnodar, Vladivostok, Perm, Nizhny Tagil, St. Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk, Vilnius and Ust-Kamenogorsk. From the very first months of its creative development the family ensemble had the good support of the folklore leaders of Novosibirsk, among them: candidate of philological sciences, professor of NGPU M.N. Melnikov, Candidate of Arts, Professor of the Glinka Oil and Gas Academy (Academy) N.V. Leonova and vice-president of the RFU (Russian Folklore Union) V. V. Aksanov. The folklore ensemble "Radunitsa" is the ancestor of the revival of real Russian folk calendar Siberian holidays in the 1990s. The first village Maslenitsa came out very successful, they were ethnographically reliable from the entire year-round cycle " holiday calendar Siberia" (in 1990, the village of Mirny, Toguchinsky District, and in 1991, the village of Balman, which is located in the Kuibyshev District of the NSO). Everything they had was historically and ceremonially correctly built: everything was built as a reconstruction of the Shrovetide festivities, which is typical for the villages of the Tomsk province in Siberia, they strictly observed the ritual of each Shrovetide day, built slides, staged a wall-to-wall fist fight, took a snowy town. They also rode "troikas" and rode horses, staged a "funny performance" of Maslenitsa with Banya and Voyevoda in the snow, and also arranged douches cold water. It is this "model-program" for the celebration of Maslenitsa that has become the main one in the scenario of most folklore groups in Siberia today. In 1994, several more young members came to the family folklore ensemble - students of the NMK named after A.F. Murov. Thanks to the musicians-performers - pianists, violinists, pop and wind players - youthful enthusiasm appeared in the creative activity of "Radonitsa", a musical interest in the quality of the performance of all ethnographic material, a professional, very deep and serious attitude to the song, instrumental genres and choreography.

The folklore ensemble "Radonitsa" is unique in that for twenty years it continues, and most importantly, develops its own tradition of the Kutafin-Borodin family (songs from the village of Lokti, which is located in the Moshkovsky district of the NSO and wedding rituals). They also study other authentic Siberian traditions, for example, they study the songs of the families of Transbaikalia and the quadrille (a kind of dance) of the Kerzhaks (an ethnographic group of Old Believers) of the Novosibirsk region. Over a twenty-year period, thirteen wedding couples danced, sang and got married in the ensemble. Two families had five children each, who are brought up by their parents according to all the "folk and spiritual traditions of Russian Siberians." In 1998, students of the Department of Folklore and Ethnography of the NOKKiI successfully “joined” the ensemble team. In 2004, "Radonitsa" became a creative workshop for many students of the National State Pedagogical University who studied at the Faculty of Culture and Additional Education, and starting from 2006, for young people who participated in the folklore studio of the NGI. "Radonitsa" is the first in Siberia (and one of the few in all of Russia) a team that since 1990 has been passionate about the purposeful collection of many samples of Siberian national choreography. They carefully preserve in their repertoire the favorites, recorded and already learned by the members of this folklore-ethnic ensemble during a large number of expeditions - fifteen Siberian quadrilles, twenty-five dances, various ornamental round dances, game evening songs - in total they have one hundred and twelve titles of the author's collection. That is why today all members of the team are the creative "core" for the Novosibirsk youth club of Russian ethnic (folk) dance "Krutuha", which appeared in May 2009 in the October Revolution Palace of Culture.

As a result of serious scientific and practical, educational and research work they have won many awards and added a lot of ethnic material to their repertoire. They have a collection (ethnographic description) of eleven Siberian traditional games, which are included in the Encyclopedia of Folk Games and Toys of Russia; spent more than three hundred charity evenings, creative meetings and performances in orphanages, schools, orphanages, as well as at RFU (Russian Folklore Union) festivals. The team organized together with the vice-president of the Russian Folklore Union Asanov V.V. children's folklore season ticket "People's Holiday": every month a free concert is held, which is held by children's folklore groups of Novosibirsk and the Novosibirsk region. Members of the ensemble together with V.I. Baytunganov created the first in Novosibirsk "School of Russian Folk Culture" in the Palace of Culture named after Kalinin, it existed for a relatively short time, only a year: from 1992 to 1993

The ensemble has a huge repertoire and extensive experience in conducting programs, thanks to which the team can easily improvise directly during the celebration. The ensemble was formed on November 10, 2004, but all members of the ensemble have known each other for a long time. Participation in the student folk group of the Donetsk National University "Divina" made friends and brought together all the participants, in whose leadership the ethnic musicologist Elena Vitalievna Tyurikova is still in charge. It was she who instilled great love for all members of the ensemble to musical folklore. After they left the university team, the girls got together again after a couple of weeks, because it turned out that they could no longer live without song and singing. It was that date that they began to consider the birth of the Radeya ensemble, which changed more than one place of its rehearsals and did not immediately receive such a name. The team came up with the name only the third time, the members of the ensemble like what the name sounds like ancient word'Ra' means 'radiance of sunlight', 'dea' means action and 'I' means I. The name together stands for "I act under the radiance of the light of Ra, in the radiance of the light of the sun and in the radiance of light" ...

The collective wants its activity as a folklore ensemble and in general work in the field of studying folklore to be an increase in the bright beginning in the life of every person. The ensemble studies the existing, that is, authentic folklore of its region, goes on expeditions, studies folklore directly from living carriers - “grandmothers”. Grandmothers are very generous, they help them in many ways. AT current composition The Radeya team includes six people: Olga Zapalskaya, Olga Suprunova, Natalya Dutova, Olga Melnik, Dmitry Borisenko and Irina Borisenko. All participants have different education and different outlooks on life, but they all love to sing together, and this gives them common goals: performances, new thoughts and ideas, the study of folklore.

The folklore ensemble called "Origins" appeared in 1978 in the recreation center "October" in the city of Podolsk, which is located in the Moscow region, it was created by Bessonova Elena Vladimirovna. The main goal of this creative team is to recreate and master the cultural traditions of their region. Starting from the 1980s, the ensemble began to go on frequent folklore expeditions throughout the Podolsk region. The creative activity of the ensemble is growing all the time, among it there are research, teaching, performing activities. Thanks to this, in 1944, on the basis of the ensemble, the Center for Traditional Culture of the Southern Moscow Region was created with the name "Origin".

For all its twenty-five years of work on the stage and not only, the folklore ensemble "Istoki" really found its own style and is a real bearer of Russian culture in the Moscow region. The name “Origins” perfectly reflects the activities of the Center, because the purpose of the Center is the revival, research and search for all that beauty that our ancestors once owned and knew how to do. The Center "Istoki" has many different ensembles, and all of them are very active festival and concert activities. More than once the ensemble has become a laureate of the largest international competitions and festivals.

Fairly well represented and ritual songs: "playing", "passing", "dance", "to the meadows", "running", "Christmas" and "Glorification of Christ". Based on these materials, the ensemble tried to recreate all the fragments of the rituals. At the moment, "Istoki" is cooperating with leading Russian organizations that work in the field of ethnography and folklore. All the materials found and collected by the expedition are subjected to a very serious study, recorded, and then systematized and deciphered.

They also sew costumes for themselves from fabrics that are very similar to the past, they cut beads, embroider, weave belts and make hats. Thanks to this and the development of artistic crafts, the team members really create an ensemble in which everything is so harmoniously connected: appearance, song and dance. That is, the ensemble does not recreate and revive a separate work and type of folk art, it revives its main principle: the interaction of external material life and its internal spiritual manifestation, as well as the organic nature of the lifestyle itself. More than two hundred children study at the Origins Center. All of them study: ethnography, the history of Russian folk costume, folklore singing, folk instruments, folk dance, arts and crafts, embroidery.

The team began its activity in 1990 in the city of Simferopol, then the director and artistic director was and now is the Honored Art Worker of the Republic of Tatarstan Server Kakura and Ukraine. The main goal of the folklore ensemble "Kyrym" is to revive, develop, preserve and popularize the national, vocal and choreographic art of the Crimean Tatars, and the main task is to educate the highest morality in the generation that is growing up. The total staff of the folklore ensemble is fifty people, thirty-six of them are in the creative composition of the team. The repertoire of this Crimean Tatar ensemble is quite rich and varied.

The performances of the ensemble are such a bright sight, all the artists are dressed in colorful attire of national costumes. On the basis of Crimean Tatar folk dances and songs, legends and tales, many highly artistic vocal and choreographic compositions have been created, for example: “Yavluk”, “Dyugun”, “Agyr ava ve Khaitarma”, “Choban”, “Tym-tym” and many others , which very clearly convey the aesthetic ideals and traditions of the Crimean Tatars. All members of the folklore ensemble bit by bit collect the priceless musical heritage of the Crimean Tatar people, a common feature of which is great losses, which subsequently led to a large number of gaps, to the loss of entire eras. The orchestra of the ensemble has a wonderful sound, probably due to the fact that the participants use the national Crimean Tatar instruments, such as: oud, dare, chubuk-davul, zurna, saz - they convey the unique color and picturesqueness of folk music. In the repertoire of the folklore ensemble "Kyrym" there is a professionally presented genre, which today is almost unexplored - this spiritual chant"ilakhi", which had not previously sounded on the pop professional stage.

The team performs already forgotten songs by almost everyone, which have great artistic value, people have been creating them for centuries, while putting their most cherished feelings into them.

The ancestors of the Tuvans, who previously inhabited Tuva, found and preserved the art of throat singing, all its types, as well as all types of musical instruments of nomads. Tuva is a place where the Scythians, Sarmatians, Turks, Huns, Uighurs and Kirghiz lived. All this is present in the songs of the folklore ensemble "Tyva".
