The management reserves the right to substitute any artist, even at short notice should the need arise DenisNatalia Rodkin MATSAK Denis Rodkin Denis was born in Moscow. He graduated from the Moscow Acad- emy of Choreography as part of the “Gzhel’” Theatre, and went on become a member of the Bolshoi Theatre where he attracted the attention of Nikolai Tsiskaridze, the Bolshoi Theatre’s pre- mier ballet master. Under his guidance, Denis learned the roles of Blue Bird in “Sleeping Beauty”, Taor in “The Pharaoh’s daughter”, An- toine in “Flames of Paris”, Prince Sieg- fried in ”Swan Lake”, Nutcracker Prince in “The Nutcracker” and Jean de Bri- enne in “Raymonda”. In 2012 he danced the role of Kurbsky in “Ivan the Terrible” which attracted the attention of Yuriy Grigorovich. As a re- sult he went on to dance Grigorovich’s Spartacus in the ballet of the same name and Ferkhad in a Legend of Love. The ballets in which Denis Rodkin has featured have been shown in cinemas around the world in the “Bolshoi Ballet on Film” proj- ect. He has also successfully performed in John Kranko’s Onegin, a classic of international dance, where he produced a very exact portrayal of Onegin’s contradictory character. Russian press The premiere performance of the ballet “John the Great” by Yuri Grigorovich was staged at Bolshoi Theater. Denis Rodkin, who danced the role of Prince Andrey Kiurbsky , leaves little doubt that he is a great find for this new staging of the ballet . Rodkin charmed the audience with his very special interpretation .His individuality and expression created real drama and he demonstrated the breathtaking power of his dancing. Denis Rodkin debuted with the role of Ferhad in the ballet of “Legend of Love”. His softness of line and extremely high jumps helped to reveal the dramatic pattern of his interpretation of the role. Denis Rodkin as Spartacus 4 5 Vadim Muntagirov Vadim Muntagirov Russian dancer Vadim Muntagirov is a Principal of The Royal Ballet. He trained at The Royal Ballet School and joined the Company from English National Ballet as a Principal in 2014. His roles with the Company include Basilio (Don Quixote), Prince Siegfried (Swan Lake), Prince Florimund (The Sleeping Beauty), Colas (La Fille mal gardée), Lensky (Onegin), Des Grieux (Manon), Jack/The Knave of Hearts (Alice’s Adventures in Wonder- land), Florizel (The Winter’s Tale) and in Symphonic Variations, The Four Tem- peraments and Afternoon of a Faun. Muntagirov was born in Chelyabinsk, the son of two dancers. He trained at Perm Ballet School before moving to The Roy- al Ballet Upper School. He graduated into English National Ballet in 2009, pro- moted to first soloist in 2010, principal in 2011 and lead principal in 2012. His roles with ENB included Apollo, Conrad (Le Corsaire), Albrecht (Giselle), Prince (Cinderella), Prince Siegfried (Swan Lake in-the-round at the Royal Albert Hall), Prince Désiré (The Sleeping Beauty) and roles in Song of a Wayfarer. He created the role of Prince in Wayne Eagling’s The Nutcracker. Muntagirov’s awards include the 2011 Critics’ Circle Award for Outstanding Male Perfor- mance (Classical) and the 2013 Benois de la danse. As a guest artist he has danced with such companies as the Mariinsky and American Ballet Theatre, in repertory including Solor (La Bayadère), and at National Ballet of Japan, Bavarian State Ballet, Mikhailovsky and Cape Town City Ballet. “Dancing Siegfried in Swan Lake, Muntagirov shows how magnificently he’s grown into his talent. We can take for granted, now, his floating line, his tightly finished jumps and his elegantly finessed partnering. What’s new – and mesmerising – is the range of his musicality and acting. Muntagirov doesn’t just show us a callow Prince yearning for romance: his entire body seems possessed by the seductive, intoxicating melancholy of Tchaikovsky’s score. When he finds his ideal love in Daria Klimentová’s Odette, he adds a sweetly touching register of protectiveness – awed by Odette’s fragility, he wants to protect as much as possess her.” Judith Mackrell, The Guardian Vadim Muntagirov as Prince Siegfried.

Her party in the ballet Ray- monda won the audience. Zobeide images in “Scheherazade”, Nikiya and Gamzatti in “La Bayadere” Natalie managed to convey very colorful in their own way.

Her partner was the famous and brilliant Vadim Muntagirov, Soloist of the Royal Ballet in London, who performed a majestic Solor.

To survive in the harsh reality of Moscow, the financier Philippe Jordan spends his evenings drawing Indians, creating ballerinas, and meeting oligarchs. And it helps! Philippe is quite an unconventional banker. During working hours he is deals with derivatives, futures and options, but in his private time he makes paintings on glass, and art from paper. “It seemed to me that there was always some magic at the Ballet: the music played, the notes came alive, the ballerinas flew in the air” Philippe was born in Strasbourg, and his stepfather, Robert Grossmann, not only was the vice- mayor of the town of Strasbourg, but also a long-term associate of Nicolas Sarkozy – “the man who thirty years ago taught the future French president the art of public speaking.” The former president of France also has one of Jordan’s works: a courier delivered it, and after a few days, Philippe received a letter of thanks. Unconventional by nature, again in 2010, Philippe invited his friend in Moscow, the French author Michel Houellebecq, who once compared Philippe’s works to those of Giorgio de Chirico. The story of their friendship is downright amazing. After reading the novel "The Map and the Territory," Jordan was shocked - the book’s main character was so much like him. He, like Jordan, met with Abramovich. And also painted a portrait of Houellebecq.

  • Against Expression?: Avant-Garde Aesthetics in Satie's" Parade"
    Against Expression?: Avant-garde Aesthetics in Satie’s Parade A thesis submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC In the division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2020 By Carissa Pitkin Cox 1705 Manchester Street Richland, WA 99352 [email protected] B.A. Whitman College, 2005 M.M. The Boston Conservatory, 2007 Committee Chair: Dr. Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract The 1918 ballet, Parade, and its music by Erik Satie is a fascinating, and historically significant example of the avant-garde, yet it has not received full attention in the field of musicology. This thesis will provide a study of Parade and the avant-garde, and specifically discuss the ways in which the avant-garde creates a dialectic between the expressiveness of the artwork and the listener’s emotional response. Because it explores the traditional boundaries of art, the avant-garde often resides outside the normal vein of aesthetic theoretical inquiry. However, expression theories can be effectively used to elucidate the aesthetics at play in Parade as well as the implications for expressability present in this avant-garde work. The expression theory of Jenefer Robinson allows for the distinction between expression and evocation (emotions evoked in the listener), and between the composer’s aesthetical goal and the listener’s reaction to an artwork. This has an ideal application in avant-garde works, because it is here that these two categories manifest themselves as so grossly disparate.

  • Ballet's Influence on the Development of Early Cinema
    Ballet’s Influence on the Development of Early Cinema and the Technological Modification of Dance Movement Jennifer Ann Zale Abstract Dance is a form of movement that has captured the attention of cinema spectators since the medium’s inception. The question of the compatibility between dance, particularly ballet, and cinema has been fiercely debated since the silent era and continues to be discussed by scholars and practitioners in the twenty-first century. This topic was of particular interest in the Russian cinema industry of the 1910s, in a country where ballet was considered to be among the most prestigious of the art forms. This article explores ballet’s influence on the development of silent cinema in pre-revolutionary Russia and the ways in which cinema technologies alter dance as an art form. This topic is discussed through the career of Vera Karalli, Imperial ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater turned Russia's first film star. I question the legitimacy of the argument that film can only preserve a disfigured image of a dancer’s body in motion. Many critics of Karalli’s cinematic performance fail to take into consideration the direct influence of the cinematography, editing style, and overall conditions of the Khanzhonkov Studio of 1914-1917 on the finished product. This article explores the cinematic rendition of the moving (dancing) body, taking into account the technology responsible for producing the final image. The study draws upon primary sources found in Moscow’s libraries and archives. Keywords: Dance in cinema; film history; Russian cinema; silent cinema; Vera Karalli. he final years of the Czarist era were a fruitful time period in the history of Russian ballet that included a combination of both innovative and classical choreography.

Introduction. Russian ballet is a form of ballet characteristic of or originating from Russia. In the early 19th century, the theatres were opened up to anyone who could afford a ticket. There was a seating section called a rayok, or «paradise gallery», which consisted of simple wooden benches. This allowed non- wealthy people access to the ballet, because tickets in this section were inexpensive. It is considered one of the most rigorous dance schools and it came to Russia from France. The specific cultural traits of this country allowed to this technique to evolve very fast reach his most perfect state of beauty and performing [4; 22]. II.

  • The Bolshoi Meets Bolshevism: Moving Bodies and Body Politics, 1917-1934
    THE BOLSHOI MEETS BOLSHEVISM: MOVING BODIES AND BODY POLITICS, 1917-1934 By Douglas M. Priest A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History – Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT THE BOLSHOI MEETS BOLSHEVISM: MOVING BODIES AND BODY POLITICS, 1917- 1934 By Douglas M. Priest Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, the historically aristocratic Bolshoi Ballet came face to face with Bolshevik politics for the first time. Examining the collision of this institution and its art with socialist politics through the analysis of archival documents, published material, and ballets themselves, this dissertation explains ballet’s persisting allure and cultural power in the early Soviet Union. The resulting negotiation of aesthetic and political values that played out in a discourse of and about bodies on the Bolshoi Theater’s stage and inside the studios of the Bolshoi’s Ballet School reveals Bolshevik uncertainty about the role of high culture in their new society and helped to define the contentious relationship between old and new in the 1920s. Furthermore, the most hostile attack on ballet coming from socialists, anti- formalism, paradoxically provided a rhetorical shield for classical ballet by silencing formalist critiques. Thus, the collision resulted not in one side “winning,” but rather in a contested environment in which dancers embodied both tradition and revolution. Finally, the persistence of classical ballet in the 1920s, particularly at the Ballet School, allowed for the Bolshoi Ballet’s eventual ascendancy to world-renowned ballet company following the second World War. This work illuminates the Bolshoi Ballet’s artistic work from 1917 to 1934, its place and importance in the context of early Soviet culture, and the art form’s cultural power in the Soviet Union.

It has been called the “quintessential ballet” (quintessential means the purest and most perfect or the embodiment of, in this case, ballet!) and is often the show that pops into people’s minds when the word ballet is mentioned. Since its premiere in Moscow, Russia, it has been presented in over 150 versions by more than 100 companies in at least 25 different countries. That’s a lot of swans! Swan Lake didn’t start out successfully – which is surprising, considering its fame today. It premiered on February 20, 1877, and although Tchaikovsky’s spectacular music was used from the beginning, the choreography, originally done by Julius Reisinger, was less than stellar. A critic who was at the performance wrote, "Mr. Reisinger’s dances are weak in the extreme.... Incoherent waving of the legs that continued through the course of four hours - is this not torture? The corps de ballet stamp up and down in the same place, waving their arms like a windmill’s vanes - and the soloists jump about the stage in gymnastic steps." Ouch! Unfortunately Reisinger failed to mesh his choreography with the psychological, beautiful music Tchaikovsky created.
