it is awesome though to know who artists use for visual reference bc it makes me life easier. in my brain i could not figure out how his face worked but i understand better now and i wonder if any other artists have had particular ppl they've taken from for when they draw him. like how matt has robert redford or how morpheus has robert smith and farukh ruzimatov. i always wanna know who artists take traits from bc yes you always make up looks in your mind but then it helps to hunt out who can i use to solidify it.

Ask Responses: Tsiskaridze

If Tsiskaridze moved back to Bolshoi as AD, who do you think would replace him at Vaganova? Lopatkina seems like a good choice. I know that Altynai is settled in at Astana now, but I’d like to see the position at least offered back to her, and give her the choice to take it or leave it. She deserved more respect than the way she was sent packing. That’s not Tsiskaridze’s fault though. And do you think Nikolai would have to again face the slander from moving cities if he went back to Moscow? 

Personally, I get the feeling Nikolai would feel more at home at Moscow. He is an insider on all those politics, whereas I get the feeling that either he doesn’t have much influence in SPB, or it is all too tame for him. Perhaps this is why he favors Elya- she seems to have more character and personality on stage than the average Vaganova grad, more Bolshoi type.

Tsiskaridze will have a lot of say in hiring his replacement. I think Lopatkina is actually unlikely to take the position. She seems to have left ballet world behind. Personally, I think that she would make a better teacher than she would a manager anyway. It takes a particular type of person to run a place like VBA. Farukh Ruzimatov’s name has come up a number of times, but it’s all speculation at this stage. I’d actually love to see him take over from Tsiskaridze when the latter is ready to leave.

Altynai wasn’t sent packing. Tsiskaridze asked her to remain at the Academy and the teaching staff also wanted her to stay on. She chose to leave. Of course, it depends on who you believe, as there are many narratives surrounding the “coup” of 2013.

When Tsiskaridze took over VBA he was seen as an outsider – that was one of the biggest issues. He won’t face criticism for coming home. He’ll probably get sh*t for something else though.

I don’t know how he really feels about SPB, but I do know that Moscow and the Bolshoi are his actual home and I’m sure he’ll be happy to be back. I honestly think that the Bolshoi is the one great love of his life.

I’m just imagining Nikolai scrolling through this blog and reading everything we’ve said about him and ballet drama 😂 But yeah on the topic of Elya, I’ve always thought it’s a bit weird and creepy being so..outspoken? about how much he loves Denis and Elya being together, posting tons of photos of them consecutively, especially photos of them kissing (granted it’s a mag shoot but still). I know he sees them as his children but always thought it’s weird being so public lol.

I doubt he'd bother to do it and I’m not sure how good his English is. I think it’s more likely that someone from his squad would read this blog and report back to him (I don’t think this actually happens though). I also don’t think I’ve ever shared anything particularly dramatic, so we’re good.

He really does love Elya and Denis two. He’s always loved them both individually and he’s very proud that he was the one who introduced them. He also hated Rodkin’s ex and was elated when the two broke up. This is actually the bit I find problematic. Regardless of how he feels about the girl, putting her down and calling her names on national television (yes, he really did that) is not ok. I don’t think he has anyone around him who can call him out on this type of behaviour. 

In terms of how publicly adoring he is of his students and other people he likes... I know it can come off as weird but now that I have some experience talking with him directly I can say this: Tsiskaridze is a very genuine person. He is very open and honest about his feelings. When he loves someone, he’s going to shout it from the rooftops*. If he has an opinion, no matter how unpopular, he’s going to share it. His bluntness can be jarring, but I do appreciate how honest he is. 

*Unless it’s a relationship. He’s intensely private about his relationships.

Update on Mariinsky Joiners!

Mariinsky has added new dancers to their website! So far, the Vaganova graduates who have joined the Mariinsky are:

Angelina Karamysheva

Daria Kulikova

Ksenia Potapova

Ekaterina Saplina

Usually, any foreign Vaganova graduates take longer for the Mariinsky to add to their website, likely because of Visa complications. So there may also be international dancers joining. I will update more when I know for sure.

Update:

They have added some boys to the website!

Nicholas Didenko

Dmitry Mukhametshin

Daler Ruzimatov

We also know that international students Jaden Grimm and Luca Dobos are joining as well.
