Ekaterina Shipulina: secrets of the ballerina's personal life. Denis Matsuev - With love for music from childhood to adulthood Rise of a small star

The prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater Ekaterina Shipulina told La Personne about the premiere of Nureyev and about her creative search.

Let's start with Nureyev. Opinions about the performance were divided: someone was delighted, someone did not understand at all what the hype was about. It is interesting to know your opinion, the person who was inside this work.

Many people asked me about my impressions after the premiere, but it's hard for me to evaluate. This show is like a child to me. All of us, the participants in the performance, have been working on this ballet since the very first day, sometimes we didn’t even treat it very adequately. Of course, we fell in love with him, by the end we liked everything about him.

I like this performance.

You danced the monologue "Diva", where you had to tell the story of two divas: Natalia Makarova and Alla Osipenko. How were these roles formed?

Everything came from Yuri Posokhov, who put such a correct choreography to music and text. When staging, he proceeded from the letters written by these ballerinas, in particular, from words and even intonations. Of course, this is what played a big role. I think it is the choreography that touches the viewer's most subtle feelings and evokes strong emotions.

In your opinion, why is there no such ballet dancer as Nureyev in our time?

I think he was such a special person, headstrong and freedom-loving. Now artists may be afraid of losing their jobs, stability, although nowadays you can go abroad without any problems. I don't know the exact answer. He was one of the first such rebels. Now there are also outrageous, scandalous artists, but now all this is no longer relevant. Gone are the days when it was interesting. Now artists try to behave with dignity, this is considered professionalism.

When creative person goes to social life- Does it interfere or not, what do you think?

With Nureyev, it was organic, he did not force himself. For many, this image is part of the image. I think if it's fun, why not?..

When you look at your Instagram, you get the impression that you are very open man. But it is clear that this outer side life. Is it such a position not to open your personal life for show?

Yes. Personal life is personal, to remain behind the scenes. When people flaunt their relationships, their families and children, most often it looks unnatural. There is some show in this.

You studied at the Perm School, but then moved to the Moscow Academy of Choreography. What prompted you to take this step, ambition?

At that moment, no. It was a coincidence, since the parents, being the premieres of the Perm Theater, were invited by Bryantsev to the Muses. theatre. Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko. Of course, they agreed, and literally a year later my mother took us to a Moscow school. It's great that I had experience teaching with different methods. I studied in Moscow for 4 years. It was at the Moscow Academy of Choreography that I felt some leadership qualities in myself, of course, I only wanted to go to the Bolshoi. Where else?

Did you imagine that someday you will become the prima of this theater?

Probably not. I started with the second corps de ballet, went to courtiers, sat on a bench. In general, I went through all the stages.

Is it difficult when parents are ballet?

On the one hand, yes. They tell you 24 hours a day what to do and how to do it. It is you who eventually understand that parents say the right things. In fact, I am very grateful to them for the fact that they did not discourage the desire for this art.

During the time that you have been dancing in the theater, many leaders have changed ...

This is true!

What would you recommend for a leadership change?

Yes. This is hard. You seem to have already achieved something, and then another person comes and you prove everything again. Each leader has his own opinion, his own tastes. The artist may be great, but the manager may not like it.

And how to be in such a situation?

Work!

What do you have in your life besides ballet?

AT recent times there is less opportunity to go somewhere, meet friends, although I try to find time for meetings and drama theater. Now the priority is the child. I don't even want to leave him, to be honest.

I would like to return to our photo session in the museum-apartment of Galina Ulanova. We did not just invite you to this photo story. You are currently working with Nadezhda Gracheva, who was the last student of Galina Ulanova. Tell me, how often does she share Galina Sergeevna's remarks with you at rehearsals?

She speaks very sincerely about Galina Sergeevna. They were connected by many things, Nadezhda Alexandrovna began her journey in the theater with her and, of course, Galina Ulanova gave her a lot in creative plan. Besides, she's a legend!

As for the remarks, I just remembered, the remark about Saint-Saens' "Swan". There is no clear system in this number, there is a canvas, and each ballerina has her own hands and poses. And so, Nadezhda Alexandrovna said that Ulanova appeared in this issue without suffering right away, as most ballerinas do. She had such a concept that the swan appears proud, beautiful, yet not tragic. He doesn't die right away.

And finally, what would you wish your viewers for the New Year?

Of course, good health! Live and enjoy every second! Inspiration and fulfillment of all dreams! And by all means go to the theater, enjoy, empathize and have fun!

We thank Galina Ulanova's Apartment Museum and the Bakhrushinsky Museum for their assistance in organizing the shooting.

Remember how, as children, we clung to the TV screen when our favorite film, The Three Musketeers, was on there. As we admired the fearless trio of musketeers, we sang along with the young d. Artagnan "It's time, time, we will rejoice in our lifetime." And how unpleasant we were the cunning Cardinal Richelieu, Rochefort and the most negative hero of the novel - Milady. She - the Countess de La Fère, Lady Winter - constantly pursued our heroes, created intrigues and brought death with her. But at the same time, some force attracted to this woman branded with a lily flower, her strength and cunning also deserved admiration ....

Terekhova - Milady

I don't believe in a child.
Here on all psychological sites they write: the main thing is faith in the child, support from parents.
Excellent, gentlemen psychologists.
And if there is no faith in the child? Well, you don't believe in him.
Always stupid children, children with SR, unteachable - they are somewhere out there, far away, in other families.
And you're talking about faith like that.

What if you have? If you yourself have an unteachable degrading child?
Whereas? Chanting "We believe in ourselves!" like in the finale of the movie "Requiem for a Dream"?
Spit and not do at all?
So the public is pushing.
- Ah, he will go to a school for fools (and he belongs there anyway,
because he is a fool)!
- Oh, you yourself are ruining your child.
- But with Tanya-Kolya-Petya they are engaged, and they have progress, but you do not study, and Vasya loses his skills.

And how to deal with it? How to force yourself? How to force it, Egyptian power?
So he sat down to study - and the province went for a walk:
You give him a finger in a book, and he plays cars with his other hand.
You remove the cars - it just spins.
You try to read a book - at every word he interrupts and carries some kind of heresy.
And yelling, yelling, yelling, spitting (sorry) on your clothes, poking a finger in your eyes, throwing things...

Sometimes I want to talk about my problem.
But who will you talk to?
With husband? He himself is horrified.
With parents? They won't listen, they'll say, "It's my own fault," or, "I don't have the nerve for all these things."
It's good when you can just say "I don't have enough nerves" and go home (hang up the phone, log out of Skype...).
And you can't afford that luxury. You have to spend the rest of your life with this child.
Every day, day after day. Is always. You're on life, darling.

And you're always to blame, no matter what you do.
Do you give pills? - poorly. Don't you? - worse.
Doing - breaking down - yelling? It’s bad, you can’t yell, it loosens the already pampered system of the child,
that jumps on your head while you lie half dead.
Are you not busy? It’s bad - the child doesn’t shine even now, but it will grow even more trenchant.
I went for a walk with him on the street, does he beat passers-by there? Too bad, take him home.
Are you at home with him? Too bad, the kid needs to move.
In short, from all sides bad, whatever one may say. For others, it is bad, but for oneself it is the embodiment of evil on earth.

You can go to the forum - there you will grab so much abuse that it lasts an average of six months.

Phew, I spoke up.
Let's chat, shall we?
Tell us about your difficulties with children and how you overcame them. Or not overcome.
If you really want to run with slippers - well, run, now what to do with you ...

Hello girls. lost today wedding ring, while I was engaged in meat, I decided to take it off and put it on a hundred, and forgot to put it on. After that, the table was wiped many times and still there is no ring of mine! Already searched everything, every corner. Now what to do with the husband's ring? Should I keep it the same or put it off for now? We are not painted, just started wearing since 2017. We were going to sign next summer.

The more I sleep, the less harm I do

Good afternoon!
What can you say about classes in paid speed reading schools?
I looked, they have a network in almost all cities. What is really useful? Some reviews write that it is harmful for children to learn speed reading, grammar allegedly then suffers ..
Girls from Ufa, tell me good developmental classes, sections, dances .. Right now there is an entry for September everywhere ...
Thanks to everyone who subscribes.

Girls, please support.

I live with my husband and 4 year old child. Relatively recently I went to work, I'm just getting used to it and life is getting better. But it got worse with her husband. He stopped funding me completely. He doesn't even give me food or travel. He looks for something in my things, looks at the contents of my bag, pockets, reads the messenger on the phone, reads the browser history. She put on the wrong thing, put the plate in the wrong place, etc. She reproaches me with new clothes. It became very hard. No hello, no answer. He goes to his parents, communicates with relatives, and I'm all at work or alone with the child on weekends.

The topic of divorce has been around for a long time. But I was not ready to move out to rented accommodation with a child. Once he changed the locks in my apartment in my absence. The child was 6 months old. I stood for 5 hours with a child in my arms at the entrance (((then my parents did not support me, there was simply nowhere to go, there was no one to leave the child ... Then, apparently, he took pity, let him in. Live. There were a lot of things. But I didn’t dare to leave. It sucked like a swamp It seems that I will not arrange my life, I will not earn money for housing.

Support with a positive experience. I am depressed and desperate.

Ekaterina Shipulina adorned the world in 1979, she was born in the city of Perm. Her family was engaged in ballet art. The girl's mother (Lyudmila) was an honored artist of the country. She dedicated the period from 1973-1990. work in In 1991, the girl's parents began to dance in the capital. They were accepted by the Stanislavsky Musical Theater, as well as Nemirov-Danchenko. We learn about the details of Catherine's biography later from the article.

Childhood: how it all began

The personal life of Ekaterina Shipulina cannot boast of special warm maternal feelings, because a woman, as a teacher, had to spend a significant part of her energy on students.

The ballerina was brought up in strictness and uncompromisingness. Mother always severely criticized the girl and did not let her relax, forced her to constantly progress.

Pain for ballerinas is considered a common occurrence, which you have to put up with, endure. Sometimes it's hard to just get up and force yourself to do something. It is even impossible for many viewers to imagine how much effort it takes to create the beauty and splendor that opens from the stage.

I had to overcome myself, drink pills and take new steps on the path to beauty. There were no reflexes left in the ballerina's knees. She fell on them many times and lost her sensitivity to the blows. With the passage of time, she nevertheless began to take care of her health, to treat her body not as irresponsibly as it was in her youth.

Little Star Rising

Such people truly make the world a better place. The artist is hardworking, she has a sense of beauty and the perseverance necessary to bring beauty to life.

After watching her performances, it’s hard not to admit what a talented Ekaterina Shipulina is a ballerina. Her personal life is quite interesting. The ballerina has a twin sister. With her in 1989, the girl went to study at the Perm State Choreographic School. Over time, her sister abandoned the art of ballet, while Ekaterina Shipulina, a ballerina from God, did not lose her creative fuse and continued to work painstakingly to achieve her own goals in art.

Since 1994, Moscow has become the place of study for the girl. state academy choreography. Four years later, Ekaterina Shipulina graduated from this institution with honors. She thoroughly studied Litavkina's course. The graduation concert was decorated with her performance of the scene of the ballet "Corsair".

Intense work activity

The first place where Ekaterina Shipulina worked was the Bolshoi Theater. A year later, the ballerina goes to Luxembourg and wins the "silver" of the International Ballet Competition.

The girl takes rapid steps towards her development. With each new performance, her career is growing up. Then the ballerina performed the part of the Empress in the ball "Fantasy on a Theme of Casanova", as well as the Mazurka in "Chopiniana".

In the same year, her skills adorn the ballet La Sylphide, Don Quixote, The Little Humpbacked Horse (here she danced the part of the Tsar Maiden). She plays her roles so sensually and qualitatively that it is impossible not to be imbued with her performance, not to believe in the transmitted plot and image.

New century, new achievements

In 2000, Ekaterina Valentinovna Shipulina, a ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater, played in Russian Hamlet, embodied the wife of the Heir on stage. At the same time, he was working on the image of the Lady of the Dryads for the ballet Don Quixote.

In April, he takes part in the "Swan Lake" as part of holiday concert, the occasion for which was the anniversary of May brought work in the troupe "Pharaoh's Daughters". The work was directed by Pierre Lacotte. Ekaterina Shipulina danced the part

On May 7, another performance took place, in which the ballerina was Rybak's wife. She had a chance to dance the role of the Lilac Fairy in the ballet "Sleeping Beauty". She did just as well with this role as she did with the others. The grace and grace of this woman are simply indescribable, worthy of admiration and reverence.

September brought the role of Magnolia in Cipollino. November was busy with work at the Regional Charity Fund, supported by the Moscow government. The action "Children of Independent Russia" was held, they showed the production of "The Little Humpbacked Horse". Catherine played the Tsar Maiden.

At the end of the year I had a chance to participate in the ballet "Shadows" of the ballet "La Bayadère". This program delighted the eyes of lovers of elegant and beautiful dance for a long time. A concert was also held in honor of the first international ballet festival, during which the girl also showed herself brilliantly.

The dancers came from different states demonstrating his skills to the local audience. The second branch was filled just by "Shadows". Also 2001 brings a trip to Italy with Sleeping Beauty.

International recognition

The new year 2002 is coming, the works of the ballerina are replenished with the role of Odette-Odile in Swan Lake. In May-June, the Bolshoi Theater troupe visits Savonlinna in Finland. July is devoted to work on Giselle, which was played in Cyprus. I also had a chance to visit Japan. The stages of Tokyo, Fukuoka, Osaka and Nagoya were open to the troupe, bringing with them Sleeping Beauty and Spartacus.

October was marked by a concert in honor of the anniversary, which was celebrated by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade. In the same year, I was able to visit largest cities USA. The Nutcracker appears in the tour program. The ballerina is encouraged by the Triumph award.

Work at home and abroad

March 2003 was remembered for participation in the ballet festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington. The activity of the Bolshoi Theater is in full swing. At home, too, there are many performances.

The audience is presented with such ballets as The Bright Stream, Raymonda (in this ballerina performed the role of Henrietta), The Cathedral Notre Dame of Paris"(Esmeralda).

At the end of the year, Don Quixote is still popular, in which Catherine plays the role of the Queen of the Dryads. In 2003, the most talented ballerina of her time performed main party in "Chopiniana". Her mastery adorned the Prelude and the Seventh Waltz.

In 2004, the Bolshoi Theater came to Paris with a program that included Swan Creek and Pharaoh's Daughter.

international stage

Ekaterina Shipulina walked with leaps and bounds in her stage growth. Her biography is replenished in 2001 with the part of Mitra in the ballet Giselle. In April, the ballerina had a chance to go to work in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, where solemn presentations of schools prepared by the Bolshoi Theater were held. May takes her to Kazan to participate in the Fifteenth International Festival dedicated to Here she gets the role of the Queen of the Dryads in the play "Don Quixote". June was marked by participation in the International Competition of Choreographers and Ballet Dancers.

Charm and attractiveness

Extremely beautiful woman is Ekaterina Shipulina. Photos clearly demonstrate this statement. In the role of the leader of the courtesans Aegina, she does an excellent job with the scene of the seduction of warriors. Her movements are graceful and full of grace. The ballerina manages to fill each of her dances with meaning, to put her soul into it. Every image and gesture is carefully thought out. The composition does not consist of empty and automatic body movements, but of elements regularly arranged one after the other.

Hobbies

The girl is accustomed to extreme sports, not only in work, but in all spheres of life. She is a lover of ice skating and water skiing. Can play tennis, football, visit a fitness club or swimming pool. With such actively life she does not have a special need to follow the figure. Extra pounds do not accumulate, no matter how much she eats.

Ekaterina Shipulina is a very cheerful person. The ballerina, whose personal life is as bright as all areas of her life, admits that, being in love, she feels the fullness of happiness in life. In the future, she plans to have a baby and immediately return to work, because without her she does not understand her life.

The ballerina has received a number of awards. Each of them, no doubt, was awarded deservedly. This is the "silver" in Luxembourg, and the second award international competition in ballet, "Triumph" award for youth. Each of her roles was not just played, but lived, felt. Many of the titles that she has been awarded are due to her vigilant work and hard work in the name of art. Catherine's dance deserves respect and reverence in the highest degree.

The famous pianist Denis Matsuev says almost nothing about his personal life. He rarely makes an exception and only for his friends. Yesterday Denis became a guest of the new edition of the Evening Urgant show, where he first told Ivan Urgant about his newborn daughter from the ballerina Ekaterina Shipulina. According to Matsuev, the daughter was named Anna and the baby already has favorite pieces of music.

To Ivan’s question about how Denis’s life has changed with the birth of a child, the pianist replied that there is no way yet, if he changes something, then only after 2021.

Before that, unfortunately, everything is already planned for me. A simple example today: I flew in from Tel Aviv, yesterday I had a concert there with Zubin Meta, the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, tomorrow I have a concert in St. Petersburg, in Oktyabrsky, we play a jazz program. So I have time to come to you, to my favorite studio, and there is an hour to see Anna Denisovna.

Denis Matsuev and Ivan Urgant

Denis, as Ivan guessed, was already checking for musical ear with Anna Denisovna and, as it turned out, managed to introduce his daughter to many outstanding classical works.

He played concertos by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, and even Prokofiev. Her favorite piece is Stravinsky's Petrushka. Let's say it's not for children. But she really doesn't like Liszt's 2nd concerto. I do not know why...

It is known that the daughter of Denis and Catherine was born in October last year. The prima ballerina also did not tell subscribers about this on social networks and the press, only once, on Mother's Day, she posted her photo with a rounded belly.
