dance is an ancient art, it reflects the human need to convey to other people their feelings, emotions and experiences through the body. for the first time in history, the dance was performed by a person as a ritual, symbolizing important events in life, such as birth or the successful completion of a hunt. and over time, it became

an integral part of ritual activity, just as the development of mankind improved over the centuries, taking on various forms and incorporating new trends. today, on the wave of popularity, modern choreography is not nothing but the art of dance, which has no rules and mandatory posture movements. choreography was formed at the beginning of the 20th century in the west and involves... a variety of dance movements: music, fashion, style, which are inextricably linked with each other. evgeny, hello. hello, there is a common belief that a good dancer is not always a good choreographer, on the contrary. what do you think about it? yes, in fact it is true, because you can be a very cool dancer, but you are not you will know how to communicate with people, how to present material. also vice versa.

you may be an average dancer, but you will know and understand how to convey to the student your point of view, your direction , how you see it, how the body feels, where to move, and thus, yes, this point of view, what a good dancer is not always a good choreographer, this is true, and i fully support this point of view, each dance has its own... history, what is the philosophy of modern dances? in my opinion, there is no specific philosophy, there is freedom in movements, freedom in dancing, to freely realize oneself, to show, that is, in the hip-hop industry it is more energetic, more massive, in modern, in jazz, for example, there it is more elastic, elegant, beautiful, that is..

.there is aesthetics, classics, ballet, that’s where all this is present, in hip-hop it’s just the streets, that’s all that dances in the streets, breakdancing, that’s something else, there’s no specific philosophy, if take folk dances there, ballroom dancing, these are completely different types of art, from every choreographer, from every dancer, the director has his own vision, but despite the freedom and ease , there is some kind of base, a certain... movements in the same hip-hop, which you need to know, yes, yes, of course, in almost all directions there are basic elements, in hip-hop, in paping, in locking, wacking, in juank, there is no special base, this is not present, because it came to us more from the american stage, in hip-hop there is a groove, there is a base, there are some movements, on which further you... and

just like everywhere else from one you make second, third, fourth, well , there were various ramifications at the beginning of the 2000s on the wave of popularity there were hip-hop, house, breakdancing, but what is popular among young people today? now everything is developed, for whom everything depends on how old you are, what you like , whether you are a girl or a boy, here boys mostly go to breakdancing for hip-hop, they are unlikely to go to highhills, girls who are 18 plus now they are... everything related to female plastic surgery, that is, it is now very well developed, denel, the regaeton is the same there, 3 years ago it was developed mainly 3-4k was right at the peak of activity, even hip-hop was not so developed, and now it’s more feminine, what will happen in a year, who knows, so it’s very difficult to judge and know if there are any the unusual styles that you teach? in

the studio, there are such unusual styles specifically that wow, and no one probably has it, but we have one of the little-known styles. who teach in minsk, so in principle we have one of the best shuffle teachers, how difficult is it to assemble a concert lineup? that's it it's very difficult, why? because before you create a concert lineup, and you naturally do casting, they sign up there, children, teenagers , adults come, you give choreography, they teach, and after that you decide who can, who is promising, who cannot, when i conduct a casting, i always tell the children that it will be difficult, there is a lot of training, a lot of hours, a lot of tournaments, a lot of moral exhaustion, so in fact, with a concert cast, it can be good or it can be not so good, because

it’s difficult, but as they say, only the strongest go, and how can dance art help children in the future? children study from an early age, from 6 years old, that is, for a certain period , it will be 3, 4, 5 years, it doesn’t matter, maybe even two, they grow up much faster than their peers, we have dance camps , which we collect and take our children, in 2 weeks the child’s worldview changes very much, and also teenagers, no matter how crazy you are, that is, you are a little you see, well, plus i not only... dance, but also try to teach them some basics of life. today, hip-hop continues to be one of the most sought-after popular dance styles in modern dance. he does not accept the strict canons of choreography and is still at the stage of his formation and

development. but no matter what style you choose, it will help anyone, even the most shy person, to show individuality and convey their vision of the world and emotions and impressions. synthesis of decorative, dramatic and musical art, ballet is not just a dance, it is also music performed by a symphony orchestra, under the direction of a virtuoso conductor, it is a ballet master who stages the drawing, the action, as well as... ballet dancers who embody thoughts through dance, thereby revealing the plot of the play. if we are talking about the art of ballet in belarus, then a striking example of the preservation of elite culture is the bolshoi theater. its ballet repertoire is distinguished by its breadth and diversity.

for decades it has been a must in the afisha there are both classic performances, a kind of markers of high style, and new titles. the leading role in the development of national ballet belongs to the creative activity of the belarusian choreographer, people's artist of the ussr, valentin elizariev. his innovative views, bold and full of metaphor and plastic diversity, are enthusiastically accepted not only in our country, but throughout the world. so in 2023 , the ballet premiered in its new version. ludwig minkusat. today valentin nikolaevich is the artistic director, and the honorary position of chief ballet dancer of the bolshoi theater of belarus is occupied by igor kolp, who has been living with ballet since school age, learning to bring the most daring ideas to life.

well, coming to the theater, in fact, let’s take a ballet, the viewer sees luxurious scenery, bright costumes. but behind all this there is the painstaking work of dozens, and maybe even hundreds of people, so this is the other side of ballet, which is hidden from the viewer’s eyes, that’s for you specifically, and what does it mean creative behind the scenes through the eyes of the chief choreographer of the bolshoi theater of belarus, well, surprisingly, ballet is like an army, since it has existed since childhood of strict discipline, without discipline we will not learn to perform basic... individual movements that in the theater grow into some form of dance , the underside of ballet, it is most interesting to the average viewer, because the audience comes to the theater, this event is, first of all, to see the celebration, but uh, over the last season, i realized that all those open events that

created primarily in the format of internal processes, they are sometimes much more interesting than just coming to the theater, that is, open lessons, open... exhibition complexes created, a big promotion for a ruble, curiously enough , they also opened up for me the perception of the viewer and the viewer's gaze to the theater, so necessary... interested in learning about ballet art from the point of view of a choreographer? well , first of all, as a choreographer, i am inspired first of all by people, i am inspired by people, and my movement through life is built, first of all presentation, in which i find this or that direction for the further development of both stage incarnations and, well, some kind of analysis for myself, we watch the legendary ballet swan lake, which turned 145 years old last year, being the main

choreographer, everything really was written a long time ago , invented, you bring something new to the production, your own and what exactly , the fact is that the classics are unshakable, this is a certain form of the repertoire policy of the theater, swan lake, the nutcracker, giselle, boyadere, raymonde, that is, that backbone, which is necessary primarily for the good condition of the team. if these names are not on the playbill, then questions arise, what is going on there , and a competent leader will always make the correlation between the classics, the modern direction and some experimental directions, which are necessary, because every artist at a certain time is faced with what to do further within the framework of repertoire policy, there are more such young people and no longer young by that time, every year, and if you don’t you find options for suggesting the development of the path, uh, it seems to me that it would be stupid if this does not happen, because we

understand perfectly well that there is yesterday, today tomorrow, after some time we will need to look for someone on the side, not having nurtured its choreographers, teachers, therefore swan lake, it is necessary in the repertoire format, it creates high-quality work, and this is the name when i just now remember one moment when i was in tokyo... i was going on tour to the national theater of tokyo and that same evening around the city there was six performances, that is, there is such a demand primarily for cheikovsky, on the theme, the theme of love, disappointment and in the end everything is fine in the end, it is so necessary for and not only in relation to the music, the idea, but also today, there are a lot of versions, they there is a modern one. they have absolutely nothing to do with the idea itself, and

today - the classical version is being performed in the bolshoi theater of belarus, but the repertoire policy that has been built over the years allows us to have exactly this name in that form in which it exists, then after all, the classic will live forever, always, this is the calling card of any theater , swan lake must be, you are probably familiar with it: vivid myths about ballet, here are some of them you can refute and which ones you can confirm ? i am a happy person, i have always lived in natural competition in a competitive environment, where there was no place for some of those same myths, when they say that they put dead glass in there, and so on and so forth, and i actually sometimes even find it funny because when i hear among colleagues, something similar, i understand perfectly well, no matter what you do in life , the final result of it... no one there are a lot of rumors, a lot of myths, but the reality absolutely does not

correspond to those same myths, if we consider ballet as an art, then the first associations that with it arise - this lightness, airiness, pointe shoes, a tutu, is life really so easy on pointe shoes, i will tell you about one of the advantages of my profession, because... yes, it is very hard work, strict discipline, but investing in 300%, leaving the stage, the audience, the party, all of it pays off all the expenses that you incur in your life to achieve some results, and the most surprising thing is that you don’t immediately understand it, you understand when everything is already in decline, here is the development... of the further path after, it just creates some kind of moment of what and how and what next, and we

relate everything precisely to this short section of the path, on which everything was so bright, but so quickly, so for some reason i... i always knew about it, and my life was not limited only to the profession of a ballet dancer, what would you advise to those who want to join the art of ballet, where to start? art, firstly, before going somewhere, in particular taking a child there, you must, of course, read and talk to him about what theater is. what is a ballet with a plot component of the evening, because from the first attempt to understand what is happening on stage , that a beautiful girl came out, in a beautiful dress, in tights, an adult boy came out, this is quite strange for the perception of a child for the first time from ordinary spectator families, however less if

parents cook, talk about music, talk about the plot, say that this is a fairy tale, explain every moment, ballet is not so difficult and a form of art, but it is so elitist, going to the theater is necessary as an event, then everything happens on the first try and love happens right at first sight. today , ballet is more relevant than ever among belarusian connoisseurs of this elite art. in your opinion, what is its greatness and magic? we all come to the theater in order to be surprised, and working in one direction or another, we we want a holiday, we want emotions, and this speech is not always about a holiday , the leaving, coming spectator, uh, wants to get food for thought, at the same time relax, wake up, or laugh, as this can be done, let’s say in a play, a thought walker,

to be surprised in giselle, to cry in giselle, because the scene of madness leaves no one indifferent, to understand what a swan lake is, swans swimming on a lake with a beautiful... scenography, that is, we come for emotions, and what emotions give us, of course theater, big theater of belarus. in currently, the repertoire of the bolshoi theater of belarus includes about 40 ballets, these are national plays, masterpieces of world classics, as well as modern productions. creative groups are actively touring, audiences from around the world are familiar with the art of theater artists, like everything else in this world, ballet continues to develop and grow, changing along with the world around it, without losing its relevance and greatness.

everyone has their own happiness. when we participate in these holidays, we awaken our ancestral memory. its own unique history. in childhood there are no days off, that is, in childhood the child does not look forward to saturday and sunday. and the skin burns with its right and changes the light. to the flatbread. your attention is linked to your body , and your center of weight changes, your breathing changes, your attention changes, now what tool, what tool can you use to unite everyone, here is a horvot game holiday. look at the project about belarusians on the tv channel belarus 24. it’s actually surprising, yes,

in the 21st century, instead of the whole world there master. to evolve correctly, to develop technology, we are once again forced to face this social monstrosity called fascism, we all see how the situation is developing on our southern borders, on our western borders, the level of terrorist danger is really high, there will be more provocations, attempts at terrorist attacks on the territory there will be more belarus, there will be more attempts to destabilize, especially by 24, by the elections, by 25, it is in no way interesting to relax. it doesn’t work, we created such a unique a model of our state, which, during the turbulence in which the whole world has found itself, we ensure security and peace, and we will destroy fascism and there is no other way, the project is objective, do not miss new episodes on tv channel belarus 244.
