General information

The sixth International Creative Project for Children Nuclear Kids will be held in July-August 2014. The project operator is the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization Nuclear Industry Information Center commissioned by the Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation.

The Nuckids Project is designed to help create and strengthen friendly ties between children of employees of Russian nuclear enterprises and enterprises of ROSATOM’s foreign partners, develop new traditions of children’s creativity, broaden children’s outlook, and popularize nuclear industry among the younger generation.

The result of the joint work of kids from different countries will be the production of a musical, which will premiere at leading concert venues in Russia and abroad.

Conducting regional selection.

The selection is conducted in the form of an individual personal interview. Please note that regional selections are held without the participation of parents or creative advisors of the candidate.

 During the interview, the candidate should show his/her skills in the following genres:

1. Vocal. Performance of any modern song in Russian prepared in advance or proposed for performance by the participants of the casting team. The song may be performed under a phonogram, but the candidate has to be ready to perform it without musical background.

*Please note: we evaluate the candidate’s vocal data rather than a staged piece, so the performance may be stopped at any moment.

• Acting skills. Retelling of a proposed literary excerpt in your own words.
• Choreography. Improvised dance to a proposed soundtrack.
• General questions. These include knowledge of foreign languages, the ability to play musical instruments or any other talents that the candidate did not show during the main performance.

Attention! The total duration of the individual interview with each of the participants does not exceed 7-10 minutes, so please be prepared that members of the selection panel may stop the candidate’s presentation. Please be aware of this fact. The creative team (the author of the project idea, director, and choreographer, vocal and acting teachers) will make the final decision on the candidates’ participation in the project, based on the video recording of the individual interview and reviewing the submitted application forms and materials.
