Dance ensemble named after Moiseev. State Academic Folk Dance Ensemble named after Igor Moiseev

The team is located in Concert hall named after P.I. Tchaikovsky.

The main task set for the artists by the founder of the ensemble, Igor Moiseev (1906-2007), was the creative processing of folklore samples that were current in the Soviet Union at that time. For this purpose, the artists of the group went on folklore expeditions around the country. As a result, the ensemble's first programs appeared - "Dances of the Peoples of the USSR" (1937-1938), "Dances of the Baltic Peoples" (1939).

In the ensemble's repertoire, folklore samples received a new stage life and were preserved for several generations of spectators around the world. For this purpose, Igor Moiseev used almost all means of stage culture: various types and types of dance, symphonic music, drama, scenography, acting.

An important stage was the development and creative interpretation of European folklore. The program "Dances of Slavic Peoples" (1945) was created in conditions when Moiseev did not have the opportunity to travel abroad. The choreographer recreated examples of dance creativity, consulting with musicians, folklorists, historians, and musicologists.

With the direct participation of famous choreographers Miklos Rabai (Hungary), Lubusha Ginkova (Czechoslovakia), Ahn Sun Hee (Korea), Igor Moiseev created the program “Peace and Friendship” (1953), which for the first time collected examples of European and Asian dance folklore from 11 countries.

Since 1938, the ensemble has been in Russia and abroad. For a record number of tours, the ensemble is included in the Russian Guinness Book of Records. Since its first foreign tour (Finland, 1945), Igor Moiseev’s ensemble has been the unofficial Russian ambassador of peace.

In 1958, the ensemble was the first of the Soviet groups to go on tour to the USA, which marked the beginning of cultural ties between the USSR and the USA.

In 1967, the first professional folk dance ensemble was awarded the title of academic. In 1987, the ensemble was awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples.

The hallmarks of the group were the numbers “Partisans”, the naval suite “Yablochko”, the old city square dance, the Moldavian jok, the Ukrainian hopak, the Russian dance “Summer”, and the incendiary tarantella. The ensemble's one-act performances, staged by Igor Moiseev using the means and techniques of world folk and theatrical culture, gained great success with the ensemble - "Vesnyanki", "Tsam", "Sanchakou", "Polovtsian Dances" to the music of Alexander Borodin, "On the Skating Rink" to the music of Johann Strauss, “Night on Bald Mountain” to the music of Modest Mussorgsky, “Spanish Ballad” to the music of Pablo di Luna, “Evening in a Tavern” to the music of Argentine composers, etc.

After the death of artistic director Igor Moiseev in 2007, the ensemble began to bear his name.

Today in the repertoire of the Folk Dance Ensemble, staged by Moiseev. These are dances, miniatures, choreographic paintings and suites, one-act ballets to the music of Russian composers and symphonists Alexander Borodin, Mikhail Glinka, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Modest Mussorgsky.

The ensemble consists of a large group of ballet dancers and symphony orchestra.

The artistic director - director of the group is People's Artist of Russia Elena Shcherbakova.

Since 1943, a studio school has been operating under the folk dance ensemble. In addition to special disciplines - classical, folk stage, historical, duet dance - the training program includes jazz dance, gymnastics, acrobatics, acting, playing the piano and folk musical instruments, history of music and theater.

Background

The formation of Moiseev

In 1920, his father brought 14-year-old Igor Moiseev to the ballet studio of Vera Masolova, a former ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater. According to the father, dancing was supposed to have a positive influence on the development of his son’s personality, as well as give him the correct posture and demeanor. Three months later, Vera Masolova, coming with Igor Moiseev to the Bolshoi Theater Choreographic College, told the director that Moiseev should study with them. After the entrance exam, he was enrolled in courses.

At the age of 18, after graduating from technical school, Igor Moiseev became a dancer at the Bolshoi Theater, and at 24 he became a choreographer and staged several concerts. However, after the change of leadership of the Bolshoi Theater, the situation changed. The new director Elena Malinovskaya was indignant at the fact that a 24-year-old dancer became a choreographer: usually they became such after leaving the stage and at a more mature age. Malinovskaya did not remove Moiseev from his post, but she forbade him from performing new dances. Under the new chief choreographer Rostislav Zakharov, the situation in the theater became more complicated: Zakharov saw Moiseev as a serious competitor, which led to a long conflict.

Story

Creation of an ensemble

For the sake of working in the ensemble, Igor Moiseev left the academic stage and the position of soloist and choreographer of the Bolshoi Theater. The most talented festival participants were invited to join the team. Igor Moiseev considered the main task of the ensemble to be the creative processing and popularization of the dance folklore of the peoples of the USSR, to study which the artists went on expeditions and recorded folk dances, songs and rituals throughout the country.

To recreate accurate examples of dance creativity, the ensemble consulted with musicians, folklorists, historians and musicologists. To maximize the disclosure and expression of dance expression in productions, they widely used classical music, acting, dramaturgy and scenography. Igor Moiseev maintained a high level of professionalism of all dancers and did not single out soloists in the group: each participant in the production could perform both main and minor roles.

The founding date of the theater is considered to be February 10, 1937: on this day the first rehearsal of the group took place. The first concert took place at the Moscow Hermitage Theater on August 29 of the same year. Initially, the group consisted of a small orchestra of folk instruments and thirty dancers.

Since 1938, the ensemble began to regularly perform at banquets in the Kremlin. After this, Igor Moiseev was demanded 18 times to join the CPSU: it was believed that non-party members should not manage collectives. In 1940, during the next banquet, Joseph Stalin inquired about the affairs of the team. Igor Moiseev complained about the lack of a suitable place for rehearsals, which had to be carried out even on staircase landings. The next day after the conversation, the team was offered any capital building to choose from. Igor Moiseev chose a dilapidated building that previously housed the Vsevolod Meyerhold State Theater. Three months later, the building was renovated and the group's rehearsal base received permanent premises.

Military performances

The folk dance school was opened in 1943 after the ensemble returned to the capital. Its graduates received work both in the ensemble itself and in other dance groups.

Post-war time

The peak of the ensemble's popularity came in the post-war years. GANT was the hallmark of the USSR and became the first ensemble in the country to tour in more than 60 countries. For example, in 1945 the team visited Finland, in 1954 - China, in 1955 - France and Great Britain, in 1956 - Lebanon, Egypt and Syria. In 1958, the ensemble visited the USA, in 1963 - in the countries of South America, and in 1974 - in India. The performances contributed to the establishment of constructive interstate relations and even influenced fashion: after a performance in France in 1953, French women began to wear “Cossack” boots. Every year it took up to nine months to tour the country and abroad.

In 1965, for the “Road to Dance” program, the group received the title of academic ensemble, and in 1987 it was awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples. In 1989, after a tour in Israel, diplomatic relations were established between the USSR and Israel.

Modernity

Igor Moiseev worked with the ensemble until his death and even while in the hospital gave recommendations to the dancers after watching videos of the ensemble's rehearsals. He died on November 2, 2007, two months short of turning 102. Over more than 70 years of work, Igor Moiseev has staged about 300 works. According to him, “there was one happy circumstance in the life of the ensemble: the group quickly received recognition and for decades did not know failure.” After the death of the artistic director, the ensemble received his name.

Since 2011, the position of artistic director-director of the ensemble has been occupied by Elena Shcherbakova. As of 2012, the seventh generation of Moiseevites was already working in the team: 90 ballet dancers and an orchestra of 32 musicians. The ensemble's repertoire exceeded 300 original numbers. In 2015, the ensemble received the status of a particularly valuable object of cultural heritage of the peoples of Russia. For the ensemble's 80th anniversary, the collective formed an anniversary program, which consisted of works staged by Igor Moiseev. Also for the anniversary, an exhibition was opened, where costumes, unpublished manuscripts, concert programs, photographs of the ensemble members, an inventory of the ensemble's gifts for the years 1939-1948, and souvenir matchboxes with images of the artists were presented.

In 2018, the artistic director of the ensemble, Elena Shcherbakova, was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV degree.

Repertoire

Igor Moiseev staged folk dances according to the canons of the 19th century and honed the classical techniques of the artists. Since Soviet and modern authors did not have such a culture, it was extremely difficult for the ensemble to update the repertoire after the death of the ensemble’s founder. However, new numbers are constantly appearing in the ensemble's repertoire. For example, the Adyghe dance “Tlyapatet” by Aslan Khadzhaev, the Korean “Trio” - Kim Jong Il sent national costumes and a choreographer to Moscow to learn the dance. Also, the once closed 1961 number “Rock and Roll”, which at one time caused a storm of excitement among the audience and set off folk dances, has been restored.

The best dances of the ensemble are considered to be “Sirtaki”, “Apple”, “Hungarian dance”, “Tatarochka”, “Kalmyk dance”, “Finnish polka”, dance of the Argentine shepherds “Gaucho”, “Night on Bald Mountain”, “Russian dance”.

Today the Folk Dance Ensemble named after Igor Moiseev celebrates its anniversary. Exactly 80 years ago, Moiseev, soloist and choreographer of the Bolshoi Theater, held the first rehearsal with a small group of folk dance enthusiasts. Thus began the team’s journey to international recognition. On its eightieth birthday, the ensemble gives fans big performances at the country's main concert venues, including the Historical Stage of the Bolshoi Theater and the Tchaikovsky Hall. Elena Voroshilova reports.

Ninety-five ballet dancers perform a class-concert. Exercises at the barre are replaced by dances of the peoples of the world. In 1965, the “Road to Dance” program brought Igor Moiseev the Lenin Prize, and the ensemble received academic status.

“Moiseev is a brilliant director and philosopher. Creativity is good, that’s why it is modern,” says Elena Shcherbakova, director of the Moiseev Academic Folk Dance Ensemble.

Elena Shcherbakova has been in the ensemble since 1969. Soloist, teacher-tutor, director. He conducts rehearsals in a tough Moiseev style. Beginners learned a long time ago - when you go on stage, give it your all.

“The tradition before a performance is to put on a suit and check that everything is comfortable, so you have to walk at full speed in order to give your best at the concert,” says the ensemble’s soloist Ivan Makarov.

When creating a folk dance ensemble, Moiseev did not change ballet. A student of Gorsky, he combined classical with folk stage dance and said a new word in choreography.

The ensemble's repertoire includes two hundred numbers. And all this is the legacy of Moses. The Adyghe dance on buskins, choreographed by Aslan Khadzhaev, is an exception. It takes skill to avoid falling off the wooden platform.

“The main thing is posture, keep your back, we were told that after the rehearsal your back should hurt. Wooden shoes are necessary,” note the ensemble’s artists Maria Ionova and Anastasia Sorokina.

To become a Moiseevite, you need to study at a studio school for five years. It was opened in 1943. Here they teach not only dance, but also develop character.

“When we did this jump, I fell, then got up, you have to finish what you want to do,” explains studio school student Irina Smirnova.

This is the first course. They are thirteen. Every day from three to seven they do a class. No one is in a hurry to leave. And it has always been like this.

“We never looked at the clock, the rehearsal was going on, and we didn’t look at the clock, we were so carried away by the process,” recalls studio school director Guzel Apanaeva.

They already understand that dedication to the profession and honesty are the main thing in Igor Moiseev’s Ensemble, and they are ready to walk this path.

On the eve of the charity concerts, we managed to talk with the artistic director of the ensemble, Elena Shcherbakova. She spoke about the history of the creation of the group, the repertoire, hard everyday life and tours, the creator 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 ensemble and its creator

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

The red thread running through all of Igor Moiseev’s unique work is his philosophy of goodness, which today not only fully preserves, but also enhances Igor Moiseev’s Ballet - to bring goodness to people, regardless of political regimes, ethnicity, religion.

How future ensemble artists learn

We accept children from 12 to 14 years of age into the school, after the 8th grade of secondary school.

We do not focus on having children perform from the first year of study - they perform 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 school of dance. Without this, entering the big stage is impossible. Our main task is for students to understand that everything they will dance on stage is clear to the viewer. Every movement of the head, arm, leg should say something, tell something. There is no folk dance without a theme.

About the workdays of the “Moiseevites”

The Moiseevites have a six-day working week, with only one day off. Our working day begins 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, school classes are held in our halls. Unfortunately, she still does not have her own building.

About ballet dancers

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

About the repertoire

We have preserved the entire repertoire of Igor Moiseev, which was performed in recent years his life, and even increased it. Now our repertoire includes 200 unique numbers. We are constantly changing and updating the program - so, to the existing one we have added 7 new dances and one mini-performance - “Tango “Del Plata”” staged by Argentine choreographer Laura Roatta, which premiered in May 2018.

About the ensemble phenomenon

We have completely preserved all the unique heritage of Igor Moiseev, all the traditions laid down by the master, the Moiseev school of dance. Our performances are different in that everything that happens on stage is true. In addition, our artists have unique energy and the ability to ignite enthusiasm among the public. Even phlegmatic spectators at our concerts become temperamental. The ensemble of Igor Moiseev is the only group that has its own small symphony orchestra (32 people). All musical arrangements were written specifically for 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 Bolshoi Theater, now it is the Academy of Choreography. Having seen 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 would 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 invited me to try myself as a teacher at our school, and two years later, in 1994, he made me an offer to become the director of the ensemble. The time was very difficult, the 90s, perestroika, no one cared about art. But we managed to preserve the ensemble in its original form!

Elena Shcherbakova and Igor Moiseev

About art in the modern world

On November 2, 2018, it will be 11 years since our creator has been with us, but we are holding the bar to the highest level, everything is as it was under Igor Alexandrovich. Unfortunately, today there is a tendency to include pop elements in folk dances and modern music. I don't accept this. I am for the purity of the genre. I am for every nation to preserve 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, since they choke 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 everything was different. The motto of the Moiseevites is a minimum of decoration - 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 can be felt at every corner. It was a long-standing dream to return the ensemble to Uzbekistan, and Gazprombank, Uzbekneftegaz JSC, and the International Oil Service Company Eriell Group 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 are promoting the culture of Uzbekistan around the world. The ensemble's repertoire includes an Uzbek dance with dishes, choreographed by Igor Moiseev back in 1937. Now he is a huge success. This year in Italy the audience gave the Uzbek dance a standing ovation.

A grandiose event will take place in the cultural life of the capital - concert of the Igor Moiseev Dance Ensemble in Moscow. Admirers of the art of dance will be able to enjoy the magnificent show created by the illustrious group. Back in 1937, a legendary ensemble was born, which still has no analogues in the whole world. A talented choreographer and dancer literally created from scratch absolutely new genre dance art and raised him to a high professional level. The ensemble's limitless repertoire includes: Russian, Ukrainian, Finnish, Greek, Korean, Spanish, Chinese and Mexican dances, as well as many colorful folklore sketches.

All this can be seen if you buy tickets to the “Igor Moiseev Dance Ensemble”, which sell out literally instantly. The beauty of the choreographic performances, the precision and coherence of the dancers’ movements captivate the audience from the first minutes of the dancers’ performance. A special place in the ensemble’s concert program is occupied by one-act ballets, choreographic

Miniatures and dance paintings to the music of famous composers.

Each number concert of the Igor Moiseev Dance Ensemble is unique and is assessed by critics as a masterpiece of choreographic art. During his creative path"Moiseev's Ballet" enjoys overwhelming success with audiences. They tour a lot throughout Russia and abroad, and everywhere the artists are long-awaited guests. And this is no coincidence, because they preserved and enriched with their activities the dance folklore heritage of different peoples. Any of their performances is original, unique and is a triumph of high art. The symbiosis of real folk traditions with ballet gives the dances a special brightness and color. Anyone who wants to touch cultural heritage peoples of the Earth and see unique performances performed by the legendary choreographic group, purchase tickets to the concert of the “Igor Moiseev Dance Ensemble” in Moscow. Don't miss your chance to spend a pleasant evening and enjoy the “Moiseevskaya School of Dance”.
