CHAPTER ONE
FORMATION
His father is Karasev Santolla Sidorovich throughout his life he served on ships of seagoing vessels as chief of the radio. He, with honors seconcl Baku marine College, in addition, there was unfinished (for family reasons) higher technical education; fond appliances and reading fiction.
The mother of the future artist – Akhmedov rose zakirovna more than half a century has worked as head of accounting and Finance Department of the Oktyabrsky district food trade. She after graduating from the Baku technical school of Soviet trade was admitted to the Institute of national economy, but was forced to withdraw from the 3rd course because of the inability to pay for their further education. Her passions from my youth were the theatre and literature.
The boy from an early age he joined the ballet due to the fact that his family traditionally on Sundays, attended dance performances Opera house. It is therefore not surprising that the earliest artistic impressions formed in his mind, primarily, from contact with such works as "Sleeping beauty" and "Nutcracker" by Tchaikovsky and "Cinderella" by S. Prokofiev staged by the Moscow ballet on ice during his tour in Baku.
Tan--Cevat he started before I learned to read fluently. Of course, their emotii NewMake splashed in improvisational dance monologues under the records of his favorite ballets. And now, 6 years plastically gifted child brought into the nursery choreographer+algebraic Studio at the Central House of officers, where he began his studies at the honoured artist of the Republic L. V. Leonova. This team existed than a year and enjoyed the Bakuvians great popularity. Here began her creative path many famous figures of the ballet theatre, among them – people's artist of Russia, choreographer Valentin elizaryeu, people's artists of Azerbaijan Vladimir Pletnev and Medina Aliyev Foundation, honored artists of the Republic of Irina Nizamutdinov, Vitaly Akhundov and many others. Taking part in some performances of the team ("the Stork" and "Coppelia", "Doll story" and "Cinderella"), teenage soon, therefore, began to grasp the basics of their future profession.
The dance circle is taught only the first, General concepts of ballet art: how to stand at the Barre on reversible legs and right to keep your back, how to walk and run around the stage to make bows and other simple movements. But the most important consideration for diligent "students" was the opportunity to participate in the Children's matinees of the national theatre ballet. And he learned that a true artist will never allow themselves to go on stage even during rehearsals in casual shoes.
Apparently, then inquisitive beginner and passion originated himself to organize performers and make them dance composition. Not to change clothes, dressing up, making up, and then flaunt on podmostkah in Cutesy movements. No. All this was alien to him later. From the very beginning, from the moment of its formation as a figure of choreographic art, he felt his true calling – to become a choreographer, Director of the birth process performance: from concept to implementation it on the theatrical stage.
Leaving the old passion, the ringleader tried with neighbor children to play with him in ballet. Later, during his school years, prankster threw this fun, on the contrary, somehow gathering his friends and acquaintances, and made of them his first initiative group. At home, the benefit allowed spacious two bedroom apartment, he started regular rehearsals seen on the professional stage ballets. Here is almost everything was like in a real theater playbills and tickets, drapery and decorations, special lighting and music. And the young Director did not always participate in performances, preferring to "conduct" their swing. And it's funny, the enterprise did not last long comic about 10 years.
For at about the time the teenager has become a student of the ballet school, once in the class is a wonderful professional, honored teacher of Azerbaijan Rose Alievna Hajiyeva. Slender, with elongated proportions and a slight bounce with natural resistance+Yu, a freshman like he was designed in order to make a career as a classical dancer. However, he felt himself in this element are not quite confident, too shy. It was difficult to predict in a shy fan of Terpsichore artistic talent and predisposition to acute-characteristic dance, he manifested in high school ballet school, his teachers noted P. E. Almazov (acting technique) and A. V. Akopov (folk-stage dance).
Literally every day of the graduate school of ballet – Rashid, as well, and most of his comrades, please return to: regular education special subjects, classes in General education classes, rehearsals of the dance numbers in the academic theatre performances and tireless view all ballet performances of this team. And on Sundays part in the theatre Studio at the House officers or routine in your circle of "chamber ballet", which translated from Italian means a room or home a ball, a masquerade.
In the life of a boy there is a lot of crucial Hobbies and passions, first of all, this insatiable thirst for reading, the study of music literature of all eras and genres, finally opening in itself veins pitl+iwago researcher ballet.
The original "track record" of a student of the Baku-Ho-rheographic school is quite broad: "Nigella" A. AB-Basov and "Maiden tower" by A. Badalbeyli (G. Almaszada), "Seven beauties" (P. Gusev) and "Tropol of thunder" (K. Sergeyev) K. Karayev, "Cinderella" by S. Prokofiev (N. Nazirov) and "Legend of love" by A. Melikov (Y. Grigorovich) and others. In professional repertoire by novice in addition to the aforesaid corps de ballet of the parties it appears new Spanish dance on folk music, which suddenly has clearly delineated his stage temperament. In addition, for the upcoming graduation concert began staging dramatic sketches for the first movement of the 7th Symphony by Shostakovich. But, for some reason, this composition was not completed, so I had to settle for the participation in the restored Qamar Almaszada the good old "Harlequinade".
On this happy childhood ends – matured EN-thusiast his craft for a year or two before the release terribly stretched (1 m, 90 cm) and, thus, unacceptable to a ballet dancer thin. Moreover, he was sorely losing his sight, and now without spectacles could not. Him as if fate itself had the play only one role – don Quixote that he later with glitter and make your own ballet to music by Gara Garayev. And then the question of his classic dance teacher – honoured artist of the Republic of Azerbaijan Rufat Zeynalov – "What are you –now ? will you do?", without hesitation, replied – "I Will come on6 the choreography Department of the Leningrad".
St. Petersburg has always powerfully attracted the imagination of susceptibility-chive dreamer. First, his adolescence acquaintance with the book of Mikhail Fokine's "Against the tide", captured the artistic and creative atmosphere, the fate of many figures of "Russian seasons". Secondly, the young man was shocked by the recent tour in Baku ballet theatre of Opera and ballet. S. Kirov, among whom was Mikhail Baryshnikov, as well as performances of the Leningrad theatre of choreographic miniatures by Leonid Yakobson, especially his "Exercise of the twentieth century" to the music of J. S. Bach. Finally, for the first time during the Christmas holidays in Leningrad and saw "Sleeping beauty" performed by Irina Kolpakova and Yuri Soloviev, he realized that this city will determine his fate.
This teenager dream come true in two years: first was service in the army, first in the ensemble of song and dance at the officers ' club. A. Aslanov (together with the leading dancers of the Opera house E. Aliev and V. Akhundov), and then to flight school Latvian town of al?ksne. Matured and strengthened, Rashid arrived in Leningrad, and the first attempt was adopted at the ballet Department of directing of the Music Academy. N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov in the Studio of people's artist of Russia, the chief choreographer of the theater of Opera and ballet. M. P. Mussorgsky (Malahat) Nikolai Boyarchikov. All teachers on the gr+s ' subjects are direct students of the Vaganova. And that's it. In five years of study in the University and staging practices at the Opera Studio at it from a talented, promising student was forged into a true master of ballet and dancing-crate armed with his craft.
On vstupitelnym interview P. A. Gusev, who was then head of the Department of choreographers, was amazed at the amount and variety composed "for himself" songs 20-year-old applicant. In the folder was written in his own system, plastic scores and production solutions ten (!) ballets: "Manfred" and "Storm", "Francesca da Rimini" and "hamlet", "Romeo and Juliet" by Tchaikovsky, "card Game", "the Firebird" and "Petrushka" by I. F. Stravinsky's "Scheherazade" by N. Rimsky-Korsakov and "the Four temperaments" Concerto grosso A. J. Eshpai. Many of these pieces were fitted with sketches of scenery and costumes in the author's performance. Cycle of symphonic program P. Tchaikovsky (including all of the Overture-fantasy) reflected the passion of the neophyte dramatically intense music software, which can be a basis for striking choreographic performances. In this sense, he considers himself the successor of the great traditions Fokine, founded by master in the entreprise "Russian ballets of Sergei Diaghilev. A collection of articles of the choreographer, which is a reference book that constantly stirs the imagination, fuelling fresh ideas. Once and for all ill "Russian seasons" in the E-RFO PE, he would later write as a continuation of their loved bestseller – a monograph on the third choreographer Diaghilev's enterprise – Leonid Massine.
On the penultimate course he wrote two important for the formation of a beginner choreographer: "Chaconne" by J. S. Bach and "Orpheus" by C. W. Gluck. Both innovations were preceded by "silent prologues" without music, corporate conquest R. Z. Ahmedov, where as in a coiled spring enclosed synopsis of the plot, which during deployment of musical and choreographic material, revealed all the more clearly and specifically, and not a hint in his intonation. The first one is the culmination of his quest in the genre of contemporary dance and the second is the apotheosis of his on-the Walker in the field of neoclassical Economics and to develop their+original style.
It is no coincidence that the last song was a certain stage of maturation of the talent of the choreographer, appearing in the drama core when creating his first two-act play "In honor of the dance team music – thesis graduate opener-ditch torii at the Theatre square in St. Petersburg. It was carried out in Baku on the basis of the children's Folk ballet, which began with tvorcheskaya biography R. Z. The Martyr-VA.
Staged the first-born choreographer has resulted in a fruitful attempt to bring within its orbit sculpture, music and the word. Here danced by adults and young artists, and in the Intro-prologue played a dramatic actor. Further, in many early works of the choreographer will be present poetry included in the full flesh of his stage compositions.
The closed curtain three times the Gong sounded, calling for attention. Then turn excited by the nature of its themes and emotionally intense orchestral Overture, written in the tradition of romantic art. This music begins with a solemn passage of all participants in the presentation in the auditorium backstage. First there are the kids, then teenagers and finally adults performers. At the end of the room the middle of the curtain is pulled in different directions, and in this "hole" is shown smiling Muse of dance – artist in white romantic tunica and on Pointe.
In complete darkness the curtain opens. On stage turns on a Desk lamp that illuminated the Journalist sitting at a small table to the left of the audience. On the opposite side of the stage displayed the Leading figure, standing to his full height. They take turns reading poeticized the text, telling about the origins of ballet art of ancient Hellas. At this point, hanging on the back of the canvas-the screen behind shows fragments of filmstrips and slides, vividly illustrating the speech of two actors. And again there comes the felling of the world.
After a few moments, flashes of illumination, illuminated austere decoration of the site, consisting of only the "clothes" of the stage – backdrop and wings red velvet and - NR a morning canopy light colors, tilted to the side as if inviting alleged backstage theatre stage.
On vdohnovleaiushee, melodically captivating music of the 1st phenomenon productions ("Prelude") in a ballet room come two dancers, dressed in tracksuits, over to+which wearing robes and sherstenka, and in their hands Pointe shoes, towels and a watering can to wet the floor. Girls sluggish warming up, preparing for the daily training. With the growth of orchestral sonority in the audience included two boys and a cheerful welcome their colleagues. To ecstatic climax of the main theme on the front of the stage in a virtuosic classical dance sweeps the Muse of dance Terpsichore. All half-asleep actors, starting up, rushed after which fascinated their vision. They are dreamy draw hands, as if seeing the "soul full of the flight. Inspired by the artists began to taste each other some support and a separate hard movement. In class look admiringly pupils of elementary grades of the school, they are far from having such skill.
Phenomenon 2-e ("Class concert") opens the film: the Muse of dance involves kids in the hall-newmac who are doing their first steps in the art of dance. The music is March-like in the warehouse and alert by tone simulates the usual accompaniment of ballet training. "Living machines" from the children form a square, and approach them, holding on to these "rails", the students of the dance Studio. Lesson holds itself Terpsichore; demonstrates traditional primary movement "stick". Conduct new themes appear "Masks" – the characters from the plays of the children's ballet theatre: "a Doll story", "action Kibalchish", "Stork" and others.
With the change of thematic material, sounding bougie and friendly "machines" of the kids change their configuration – and now it is two parallel lines. On the front of the audience there is a replacement of the former performers new – more senior in age and experience – the students of secondary classes of the school of dance. As if growing up "by leaps and bounds", they perform the next movement (according to the order of training) that do consistently day in and day out all ballet dancers. In short, the lesson goes on its black+Edom. Logically developing this line, when the orchestra performed a slow, smooth tune, "living machines" again change their composition. This time, it is a circle, which are suitable adult artists demonstrating Adagio and the final "big Batman". At the middle of the room clearly and correctly, professionals toli dancing variations or combinations of high jumps. At the culmination of the music along with the luminaries –the SAR noveno acts and Terpsichore.
3rd event ("drama") opens the sorrowful meditation of the solo flute with the support strunnogo orchestra. Soloists, familiar from the first scene, rehearse training in the form of the number "Orpheus and Eurydice". Dancer in a free plastic, enriched with Oriental hands her poses, monologue depicts Orpheus, who had left his wife, a Nymph. He is looking for Eurydice, mentally begging her for forgiveness. The music and movements of the hero expresses his vexation and sorrow. Then, out of nowhere, both stately and forwardly see two Bacchantes, bringing a sensual charm and alluring uninhibited. Are they against the Singer, "hang" on it, ablepsia his candid caresses, waiting for a response. But Orpheus is not available for their dangerous charms. He eludes women, forcing them to chase him. But now, having widely opened both halves of the curtain in the center of the stage, his face is Nymph. Blinded by jealousy, Eurydice does not see his betrothed, but feels his presence; similar is the experience and character. The lovers, like the blind, reach to the tablet space, inadvertently trying to meet his love. Bacchantes, feeling his power over infantile characters, trying to bring them together. They do it immediately. After some struggle of emotions and moods prostitutes, finally, bring the lovers. Unable to endure the printing of suffering and horror on the face of their passions, the couple parted forever: Eurydice leaves, and Orpheus in despair falls on the floor.
The light is extinguished, and, after a brief pause, he again lights up the stage in previous decoration.
The second act opens with the phenomenon of "Warm-up", taking place on the background noise of a phonogram, in which echoes of theatre mixed with snatches of classic variations. Dancers dressed in with canices s costume tights and a tunic, tutus and tiaras, is preparing behind the scenes for his release.
Next, same long-lasting phenomenon of the performance ("Performance") is a Grand Pas A. Glazunov Petipa from the ballet "Raymonda". Here against a constant backdrop of ballet dancers show the full text of the masterpiece Peterburgs+fir masters, with all its parts – introduction, Adagio, variation and Coda.
Final 6th phenomenon (Orpheus) proposes a second time to meet with the heroes miniatures "Orpheus and Eurydice, but with the only difference that there is room in their costumes. On hero – white tights and the white band on the naked torso, and on his head a Golden laurels of the winner. Nymph dressed in a robe of pale blue tone, while the Bacchae dressed in chitons Golden yellow color with applique in the form of an olive branch across the whole costume. And another important difference of this short story from his "black and white" version was the fact that at the end of the ballet, after the fall of the Luminary to the ground, the Nymph runs to her lover, hugging, picks it up. Bacchantes with hatred and contempt, turn away from newly gained each other's spouses.
CHAPTER TWO
MATURING
During the formation enthusiasts troupe worked, usually on Mondays, as in the Opera house these days – closed. And since its inception choreographer in the production made it a rule to show composed choreography emotionally contagious, in full force, trying to explain and dramatic image, as always is in time trouble. The same absolute returns he requires of his actors, especially on stage girders. Often, not having time to correct the mistakes of the actors a hint, it runs on the tablet and protocolised problem place. Everyone who worked with the Director, is well aware of its steep, almost tyrannical disposition. Many who first attended his rehearsals were amazed at the lightning metamorphosis, going with him as soon as he turns on his treasured tape. To humble and intelligent, in the blink of an eye the young man turns into a fervent advocate of purity and rigor in the art.
In the booklet "the Ballet of Azerbaijan. Rashid Ahmedov (Baku, 1988) on this occasion said that "rehearsal "Baku Chamber ballet" held at the Opera Studio of the Conservatory, the hall of mirrors Children's theatre of ballet Central-m house officer s.

Strictly speaking, these things are a figment of the imagination of the choreographer and nowhere else it is impossible to see, since all his "brand"... Embodied the ideas of R. Akhmedov with beginners, budding soloists. Here, performing leading roles, young people grow creatively, professionally strengthened". Currently, many soloists dance choreographer in academic theatres of Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as in teams of Azerbaijan and Greece, Canada and Israel
