Elizaveta Navislavskaya, head of the department of plastic expression and acting at the Boris Eifman Dance Academy and choreographer of the Alexei Mishin group – Interview with socialbites.ca told how the image of Elizaveta Tuktamysheva was created for the tournament of show programs “Struggle for Russia”.
The figure skater performed the poem “Requiem” by Marina Tsvetaeva, sung by Alisa Freindlich.
“When they started creating a visual image, I realized that I wanted to make it more solid,” Navislavskaya said. “That’s why this dress appeared – there was a request: “Make it almost an evening dress, make it feminine and with a very neat hairstyle.”
This was done to make Lisa different, more mature, more serious and tragic. Lisa’s figure skating look is different, to say the least (smiles). It seems to me that it was to his advantage that he appeared here in a new role for himself.
We did not have the task: “You are Tsvetaeva” the task was: “You are a creative person, you create, you are an artist.”
Figure skating, like ballet, can provide a wide perception: someone read it as Liza, someone as Tsvetaeva, someone as an abstract creator, and this did not spoil anyone’s impression.
Previously it was known that Tuktamysheva played with almost the same music With Medvedeva at Russia Call.
