History of creation

The idea of ​​organizing higher choreographic education on the basis of Bolshoi Theater arose in the first years after the 1917 revolution with A. Gorsky, who then led the Moscow ballet troupe. Unfortunately, it then remained unfulfilled. And only in the autumn of 1946 at the directing department of GITIS (head of the department of directing Yu. Zavadsky) the department of choreography was created. This initiative was supported by the capital's theatrical community, famous figures Moscow theaters - E. Geltser, V. Tikhomirov, V. Kriger, Y. Fire.

Headed the department of choreography R. Zakharov. His ideas were supported and helped in their implementation by A.Shatin. Outstanding masters were invited to cooperate choreographic art- L. Lavrovsky, Yu. Bakhrushin, N. Tarasov, T. Tkachenko, A. Zeitlin, M. Vasilyeva-Rozhdestvenskaya. They laid the foundations of university choreographic education, developed educational plans and training programs for choreographers. From the very first steps, the educational process was focused on a wide range of disciplines - both general education and special ones. The volume of special disciplines created a professional basis that ensured the release of educated, qualified choreographers. Among the subjects were such major disciplines as the art of the choreographer, the technique and composition of classical dance, historical dance, character dance, clavier reading, music theory, actor and director skills, theater and ballet history, art history courses.

Particular attention in the education of future teachers is given to the study of teaching methods of major disciplines, as well as the knowledge of the basics of pedagogy and psychology, anatomy, the basics of ballet medicine and art history. For this purpose, prominent specialists were involved - psychologists, doctors, art historians: I. Ivanitsky, I. Badnin, A. Groisman, N. Elyash, K. Stepanova. Diploma practice of graduates takes place in academic choreographic schools and opera and ballet troupes as teachers and tutors.

History of the ballet master faculty.

The idea of ​​creating a higher choreographic education on the basis of the Bolshoi Theater arose in the first years after the revolution of 1917, and belonged to A. Gorsky. Unfortunately, it then remained unfulfilled. And only in the autumn of 1946 at the directing department of GITIS (head of the department of directing Yu. Zavadsky) the department of choreography was created. This initiative was supported by the capital's theatrical community, well-known figures of Moscow theaters - E. Geltser, V. Tikhomirov, V. Kriger, Y. Fire.

Headed the department of choreography R. Zakharov. His ideas were supported and helped in their implementation by A.Shatin. Outstanding masters of choreographic art were invited to cooperate: Leonid Lavrovsky, Yuri Bakhrushin, Nikolai Tarasov, Marina Semenova, Tamara Tkachenko, Margarita Vasilyeva-Rozhdestvenskaya - teachers who laid the foundations of higher vocational education in choreography. From the very first steps, the educational process was focused on a wide range of disciplines - both general education and special ones. The volume of special disciplines created a professional basis that ensured the release of educated, qualified choreographers. Among the subjects were such major disciplines as the art of the choreographer, the methodology and composition of classical dance, historical dance, character dance, reading the clavier, music theory, the skill of the actor and director, the history of theater and ballet, art history courses.

Teaching choreographic art requires a teacher and choreographer to have broad knowledge in various branches and genres of art - painting, music, sculpture, architecture, costume, etc. The constant desire to update dance forms and styles is combined with the obligatory reliance on the traditions of classical dance. Thus, the first principle of choreographic education can be formulated as the unity of innovation and tradition, combined with a wide range of mastering all types of art.

The pupils of the department of choreography soon took a leading position in many opera and ballet theaters, led well-known creative teams. The performances of the first graduates of GITIS entered the history of Russian choreographic art and became a noticeable phenomenon in the artistic life of our country. The creative work of A. Lapauri, Y. Zhdanov, V. Grivitskas, A. Varlamov, O. Dadishkiliani, K. Dzhaparov, G. Valamat-Zade, A. Chichinadze, E. Changi, I. Smirnov, and many other talented choreographers has been widely fame.

Now not only choreographers are being taught here, but also teachers of a wide profile in classical, folk stage, duet, historical, everyday, modern, ballroom dancing and figure skating.
