08.08.2012

The four
years project «Nuclear kids» every year shows its own growth. In 2012 «NucKids»
not only expanded the geography of participants, but also went on a two-week
tour, which will be holding in five cities of Russia and Hungary: Volgodonsk,
Kurchatov, Moscow, Budapest and Zanko. The first city in which young artists
and the musical «The station of a Dream» was Volgodonsk.

GIFT FOR AN
ATOMIC CITY FROM NUCLEAR KIDS

Despite the
fact that it is the first tour for most of novice artists, the guys have shown
as professionals by starting the first rehearsal just after arriving in the
city. The warm welcome made a good mood of participants. Despite the fact that
«NucKids» not yet acquired a lot of fans, the buses in Volgodonsk were met by
the past project participants. One of them, 17-year-old Dmitry Simonov, who took
part in the project in 2009 and 2010 and entered the GITIS this year, wants to
associate his life with the theater. According to Dima it is the project
«Nuclear kids» which helped to make this professional choice.

Dima said
“I was planning to apply for a computer science, but during my
participating in the « NucKids » I realized that it was not mine. If not the
project, I would never have learned how I am fond of the scene. Generally
«NucKids» gave me a lot of life experiences and friends. And it is teachers who
often open abilities, about which you have never been thinking.”

Many
participants of the project know today what the love of the public is even if
they still need to pass the exams in universities. The contemporary story of
Romeo and Juliet was met with the burst of applause by Volgodonsk audience.
Especially it was nice to see the guys from their native city, who were able to
pass the hard casting and to be in the project this year, such as: Oleg
Levchenko, and Dasha Perfiliev Mary Simon, who decided to follow her brother
Dmitri.

“The
guys from Volgodonsk are the permanent members of the project, so this year we
decided to show the musical” The station of a Dream » to the local audience.
Prior to this, the project was taking place only in foreign countries, and it
is the first time when we are going to our atomic city “- said project
manager Anna Trapeznikova.

The Acting
Deputy Head of Rostov NPP Alexander Bushnev and Deputy Mayor of Volgodonsk
Natalia Polishchuk congratulated children with the premiere performances. They
thanked the guys for a wonderful performance, which was a great occasion for the
nuclear city.

“Our
scene has seen many talents, but so bright, fiery musical for the first time.
The «NucKids» proves that if you are united by a common idea there is no matter
what nationality you are, what color of skin you have.  It is wonderful that such project exists
“- said Natalia Polishchuk.

SECRETS OF
GREAT ACHIEVEMENT

While the
participants were making surprises to the residents of Volgodonsk by talents on
stage, the project organizers were responding to questions from the press. The
«NucKids» has no analogues in Russia according to the director Alexei Frandetti
who is a producer of the project. This fact attracted journalists. At the press
conference, the project manager Anna Trapeznikova and Alexei Frandetti,
choreographer Maxim Nedolechko have been answering to the questions about
ideology, educational functions of the project, about combination of work and
leisure in the work schedule, and how foreign participants have been attracted
into such huge group.

“It is
interesting to observe the communication of children from India and South
Korea, who made a lot of good friends. Have seen recently how the Indian guy
said something in Korean, and they responded to it in Indian. Such scenes are really
touching “- said Maxim Nedolechko.

The press was interested the most in rehearsal schedule in the
“Orlenok” and how the children and the creative team were managed to
put on a show for 18 days. The organizers said that they had their own secrets.

All sites
in the «Orlenok” are located not close to each, so the director Alexei
Frandetti even had to buy a bicycle to move more quickly through the
camp,” – said project manager Anna Trapeznikov.

I couldn’t
spend a lot of time in the sea, but while was walking from one sites to another
took a nice tan. Now residents of Volgodonsk look at me with interest and
become very surprised when I start speaking in Russian without an accent,
“- said Maxim Nedolechko.

After the
performance the young artists took their buses and left the hospitable
Volgodonsk. The residents of Kurchatov see “Station of a  Dream “in 10August, 14 August nuclear
artists perform at the theater« Et cetera »in Moscow, and 16 and 19 August the
musical meet the residents of Budapest in Hungary and Zanki.
