Kyiv Modern-Ballet

The history of ''
Kyiv Modern-Ballet'' begins on December 19, 2005, with the first night of the production ''Le forze del destino'', commissioned by ''Volodymyr Filippov's Art Foundation'', which involved the main creative resources of the would-be theatre: choreographer – Radu Poklitaru, scenographer – Andriy Zlobin, costume artist– Hanna Ipatieva, lighting producer– Olena Antokhina, sound producer – Oleksandr Kuriy, choreographer assistant – Anatoliy Kozlov, and a number of performers who later became a part of the permanent company. On July 18, 2006, the company ''Kyiv Modern-ballet Theatre'' Ltd. with Radu Poklitaru as its head was registered and supported by the patron of art Volodymyr Filippov. In the course of all-Ukrainian casting, 16 young dancers were selected. The academic ballet education was not a necessary criterion for being admitted to the company; however, all the performers were professional modern dancers, knowledgeable about classical dancing and capable of conducting a classical lesson.
The authorial project ''Kyiv Modern-ballet'', in which ''the repertoire and artistic priorities would be based on Radu Poklitaru's unique style and vision, where the artistic quest and daring ideas of the Maestro's young disciples and colleagues would be put to practice, where canons and rules are absent, while creativity and talent are welcome'', presented the 2-part ballet ''Carmen.TV'' on October 25, 2006, at the

. That production was awarded two prizes of ''The Kyiv Pectoral'' contest – in the nominations ''The best production of the year'' and ''The best plastic interpretation of the production''. Olga Kondakova who played the part of Carmen was nominated for ''The best female performer''.
Radu Poklitaru's choreographic language represents a complex synthesis of the authorial plastic creativity and classical dancing. ''This looks like a mega-modern dance, but its body is supported by the backbone of the classical dance. This is the only coordinate system which I can deal with easily and on the basis of which I create the language of my own, perceived by many as the extreme of avant-garde'', this is how the choreographer describes his system.
The freedom of creativity enabled Radu Poklitaru, together with the artists Hanna Ipatieva and Andriy Zlobin, to form, within a short term, the diverse repertoire of his theatre. In 2008 the Theatre was awarded ''The Kyiv Pectoral'' prize in the nomination ''The event of the year'' for the selection of illustrious new productions: ''The Verona Myth – Shakespeareriments'', ''Bolero'', ''Rain'', and ''The Nutcracker''.
