At The Theatre

The 20th century brought great changes into the theatre. Cinema, radio, television, video altered the course of the major performing arts and created the new ones. But still there are hundreds of puppet theatres, conservatoires and philharmonics; musical comedy theatres, drama theatres and opera houses where the audiences are excited at the prospect of seeing a play and the actors are most encouraged the warm reception. But before going to a theatre you should book a ticket at a box-office. The most expensive seats are in the stalls, boxes and dress-circle. The seats in the balcony, pit and the upper circle are less expensive, they are cheap. Then at the entrance to the theatre the attendant tears your theatre ticket in half. He gives you your half back so that you can find your seat by its number. Another attendant shows you to your seat and sells a programme that will tell you which parts the actors are playing and how many acts there are in the play. Then you take your seat and may enjoy the play.

For me life is a dance

For me life is a dance. I cannot imagine myself without it. Every movement, swing, turn, makes the world brighter. I have been dancing since I was 5. And it is passion of my life. At first, I danced ballroom dancers. It is very beautiful and elegant. Dress, heels, hair - what could be more beautiful? Before going on a stage, you feel excitement. But once the music starts to play, once there is a great desire to come out and shows to all that you are capable. And exit. Crowds of people are watching your every movement, a smile. And it is a true happiness. Now I dance hip-hop. Hip-hop is a youth subculture that originated in the mid-1970 among African Americans and Hispanics. It is characterized by its own music (also known as hip-hop, rap), its slang, its own hip-hop fashion, dance styles. By the beginning of 1990, the hip-hop has become part of youth culture in many countries. I am trying myself to think what movements use, speaking in the language of dance. And what is with this comes out. We travelled with our band at the international festival Oskoldans, which left a lot of impressions, memories. When we arrived home, we long bored about the atmosphere, about the holiday. These were unforgettable 3 days! Dance and enjoy the fact that you are doing. Believe me, there are no such people who cannot dance. Try, you must succeed. And for someone dance will be a part of the life. Dance to live!

Art in Moscow

Speaking about art galleries of Moscow we should mention the most famous galleries. The State Tretyakov Gallery is one of the best-known picture galleries in Russia. It takes its name from its founder Pavel Tretyakov, a Moscow merchant. In the 19th century Tretyakov began to collect Russian paintings. He visited all the exhibitions and art studios and bought the best pictures. Little by little Tretyakov extended his interests and began to collect earlier Russian paintings. In 1881 Tretyakov opened his collection in St. Peterburg to the public, 11 years later he donated it to the city of Moscow. Since then the gallery has received hundreds of paintings from other museums and private collections. The Tretyakov Gallery reflects the whole history of Russian paintings from the 11th century to the present day. Also I’d like to tell you about the State Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. The building was built in Greek style by Roman Klein in 1898 — 1912 to house the Museum of Fine Art, founded by the initiative of professor Ivan Tsvetaev. Since 1937 it has been known as the Puskin Museum of Fine Art. It has one of the world’s largest ancient collections of European art. At present the picture gallerey has over 2 thousand works of various schools of painting which helps us to understand and appreciate the variaty of painting styles from over the centuries. The Pushkin Museum pereodically holds exhibitions of the art of various countries and of individual outstanding artists of the past and present.
