Abstract

The modern cultural dialogue between Russia and Brazil is being developed quite successfully and actively. One of the original areas of cooperation is the ties in the field of ballet art. In this study, based on the rich and varied material of sources and the latest publications on this topic, the authors attempted to show the role of choreographic ties in cultural cooperation between Russia and Brazil, to consider ballet as an instrument of “soft power” and an effective image-forming tool. The article shows the bilateral nature of the dialogue between Russia and Brazil at the beginning of the 21st century, identifies those important forms of professional cooperation in the field of ballet art that determine the modern nature of the possibility of a dialogue. Independent attention in this study is paid to the unique educational form of modern ties – Bolshoi Theatre ballet school in Joinville, which has already trained talented artists, the winners of international competitions and the laureates of prestigious choreographic awards. The article presents a qualitative analysis of the forms of choreographic cooperation and shows their role in the dialogue between the two countries.

The methodological approaches were formulated by the authors based on the set goal, taking into account the interdisciplinary nature of the stated topic – to consider the ties between Russia and Brazil in the field of choreographic art, as an important area of bilateral contacts, foreign cultural policy of the two countries and an instrument of “soft power”. The research methodology includes a comparative method, which made it possible to identify the general and the specific in the choreographic ties between Russia and Brazil at the present stage of cooperation, to note the dynamics of these ties. The descriptive approach provided an opportunity to consider and to describe the events (competitions, tours, joint projects) that united Russia and Brazil in the field of choreographic art at the beginning of the 21st century, and which are an original form of choreographic collaboration. The biographical approach allowed recreating the biographies of ballet dancers – participants in the dialogue. We applied such general scientific methods as analysis and synthesis in our work.
