"Dance of the Heart. Flight of the Soul". Exhibition as a Project
Abstract
Author has read and approved the final version of the manuscript and declare that there is no conflict of interests.
This article presents a description of the cultural and educational exhibition project in the country, dedicated to children's fine arts in the context of dance art.
At all times, the issue of education and enlightenment of young people has always been at the forefront. Such a task caused a variety of not only methodological, but also creative solutions, which were to a greater extent associated with evolutionary processes and the surrounding reality. Today, in the age of the Internet, being in one place, it is possible to attend several events around the world at the same time, including participating in competitions.
The purpose of this article is to comprehend, analyze and describe the "Dance of the Heart. Flight of the Soul" republican exhibition, timed to coincide with the International Ballet Day and the 30th anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan. To study the topic, the author used analytical and descriptive methods. The sociocultural approach seems to be productive for the study as one of the ways to determine the conditions and main characteristics of the creative environment among children and adolescents, the identification of which will contribute to the development of motivation for creative self-expression and creative competencies of children and youth.
In order to comprehend the exhibition project, a review of sources was carried out and conceptual and practical approaches to organizing and conducting a children's creative project were formulated. Thanks to the analysis of the exhibition, it became possible to determine what methods can be used to develop children's and adolescent creativity, and to express of some internal, often unconscious intentions at a similar age.
Keywords: exhibition project, exhibition of children's drawings, Qazaq Ballet Creative Lab, painting, dance.

1. The relationship between dance and fine art dates back to antiquity, when deities began to be depicted on the rocks in ritual and warlike processions. Such murals have become the main source of information about the existence of dance culture among various peoples. Later, the dance was painted and sculpted by professional artists and sculptors known to us, among whom we can name Edgar Degas, Nicolas Poussin, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Sergey Kalmykov, Gulfairuz Ismailova, Vladimir Shakhmeister, and many others.
Dancing and drawing are still favorite forms of creativity, especially in the childhood period of life, when the child is subject to emotions and excessive activity. And nonverbal arts, which, according to the psychologist J. Treiger, are the language of emotions, represent the possibility of self-expression, a splash of emotions outward.
Drawing, reflecting the inner experiences of the authors, can be a solution to many psychological problems. In the foreword of the book "The Secret World of Drawing: Healing through Art" by Gregg M. Furth, it is written on this occasion, that all paintings "open the way to the psyche or the contents of the unconscious of a particular person" [Furth]. Olga Nekrassova-Karateyeva in her article describes the relationship of the drawing with different periods of human growth1. If we talk about drawing dance, then this process involves some theoretical and practical study of this art form. That is, it attracts to dance-body movement, in particular dance therapy, which contributes to "relieving physical stress, increasing self-esteem, developing spontaneity, reducing anxiety, aggression, and developing communication skills" [Nekrassova-Karateyeva, p. 60].
The concept of "Dance of the Heart: Flight of the Soul" republican exhibition was to unite children from all over the country through the combination of two types of art, which contributed to the development of their creative skills, as well as the popularization of the beautiful and high among schoolchildren in Kazakhstan.
2. Any human movement, according to the English artist William Hogarth, creates certain, somewhat clumsy lines in the air [Hogarth, p. 227]. In dance, these lines become more coordinated and harmonious. The task
for the participants of the competition was to convey these integral lines that create the image of the dance.
And they successfully completed it, which could be clearly seen at the "Dance of the Heart: Flight of the Soul" exhibition.
During the month, about 1,200 applications were submitted from children from different parts of the country.
As a result, the jury members - scientists, artists, and art historians - selected 75 drawings of children of different ages
1 • in the period from 7 to 10 years, the inner world
of the child is enriched, the drawings become narrative, and the refined image captures the images of knowledge;
• in the period from 10 to 12 years, the characteristic aestheticization of the creative process for children of early adolescence accompanies drawing with special pleasure, giving pleasure with its processuality and completeness, the image is created as an artistic object;
• in the period from 12 to 14 years, the desire of middle-aged adolescents for self-affirmation, for reflection and reasoning directs their drawing to create an image as an image of an idea;
• in the period from 14 to 17 years, the personal problems of older adolescents direct their compositional creativity to create an image
as an image of the inner "I".
from 7 to 18 years old from the cities and regions of Aktobe, Almaty, Karaganda, Kustanai, Nur-Sultan, Pavlodar, Petropavlovsk, Semey, Taraz, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Shymkent, Ekibastuz.
Drawings were accepted in five categories:
1. Steppe motifs (30.7 %)
2. Dancing family (14. 6%)
3. Whirling (17.8 %)
4. Birds in the sky and on the ground (21.9 %)
5. Waltz of Color (15 %)
Let's briefly consider each of them. Most of the submitted applications were works devoted to the image of nature ("Steppe motifs" and "Birds in the sky and on the ground"). In the boundless imagination of children, everything is animated, which is reflected in the drawings of children. Among these, one can meet bird people, flower people, plant people, river people, mountain people, elemental people, and angel people.
The next in terms of the number of submitted applications were the nominations "Whirling" and "Waltz of Color." These works represented a direct perception of the surrounding reality by children: a pegasus galloping across the steppe against the background of cumulus clouds and at the same time a rocket taking off into space; presented against a brightly colored background, a snowstorm that blows away tree branches; shades of blue, purple, blue, creating an image of flowing water in wavy lines, and so on.
Our whole life consists of movements. As the architect Santiago Calatrava reflected, "if some object is motionless in it (in particular, a work of art), this does not mean that it is not able to move, just the potential for movement is hidden inside" [Yudina, p. 149]. The same was true of the paintings exhibited in the gallery,in which, thanks to the use of different techniques of working with lighting, shadows, colors, and, of course, the boundless children's imagination, various lines of dance acquired even greater diversity in lines that were meaningful in a new way.
In the "Dancing Family" nomination, the participants expressed their relationships in the family, accompanying them with sincere comments that could be read in the annotations to the drawings. For example: "My family is very cheerful when we all get together, we always arrange dances," writes Amir Duyssembai from Petropavlovsk (11 years old); "I wanted to show everyone as much as possible. Brothers and relatives," writes Ivan Bakhmutov from Almaty (8 years old); "On the City Day, we always have a concert on the square. My mom and dad go to dance lessons in their free time.
I pictured their performance on City Day. I am very proud of my parents!" writes Angelina Voronina from Petropavlovsk (16 years old).
3. The exhibition, first of all, was addressed to a children's audience. Therefore,
for didactic purposes, in addition to drawings, a ballet exposition was presented
to the guests, including costumes and props from ballet performances from the museum

of the Abay Kazakh National Opera and Ballet Theatre and the State Academic Theater of the Republic of Kazakhstan, sketches of costumes by the People's Artist of Russia Vyacheslav Okunev for the ballet "Swan Lake", archival photographs of the prima ballerina of theaters in Azerbaijan, Moldova and Kazakhstan, teacher-repetiteur, Honored Artist of the Kazakh SSR Lyudmila Rudakova, which presents scenes from various ballet performances by her and in a duet with Ramazan Bapov, as well as her students (Leila Alpiyeva), figurines of ballerinas in various dance poses from the personal collection of the artistic director of the ballet troupe of the Abay Kazakh National Opera And Ballet Theatre, People's Artist of Kazakhstan Gulzhan Tutkibayeva, archival documents that make up materials from books, posters, booklets, photographs from the personal archive of theater director and choreographer Damir Urazymbetov (see fig. 1, 2).

By designing such an exposition, the organizers pursued the goal of creating an exciting theatrical environment. Such an environment provided the opportunity for total immersion in art, thereby contributing to the creative self-expression of the child and the emergence of an impulse for self-realization.
Natalya Sats wrote about performances for the youngest that, despite their seeming primitiveness, this is the most difficult thing "if we want to combine simplicity and sincerity with the requirements of true artistry" [Sats, p. 59]. So, in the process of organizing this event, the driving force was the unbridled desire to create a unique one.
During the week, the gallery played musical compositions specially selected by the organizers from children's albums and dance / ballet repertoire of composers Michael Glinka, Alexander Dargomyzhsky, Camille Saint-Saens, Petr Tchaikovsky, Nicholas Rimsky-Korsakov, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Sergey Prokofiev,
Dmitriy Shostakovich.
To inspire the participants of the exhibition, the organizers prepared a video with the participation of pupils of the A. Seleznyov Almaty Choreography School

and the Exercis exemplary choreographic studio Zere, Taissiya, Mariam to the music of Nicholas Cherepnin, as well as the little brothers Adi and Amir. The video, which plays music from the ballet "Pavilion of Armida", shows young artists creating an image of dance using a multi-colored palette of colors and a dancing muse. Below is a video clip of the exhibition (fig. 3).
4. The grand opening of the exhibition took place on October 2, 2021 (see fig. 4, 5, 6). At the opening, a concert program was presented, consisting of musical compositions from classical samples of musical literature performed by the quartet of the Akim Concert Orchestra of the city of Almaty under the direction of Murat Serkebayev, as well as choreographic

compositions staged by Bulat Ayukhanov "The Artist and the Swan" to the music of Camille Saint-Saёns in performed by the leading soloists of the State Academic Dance Theater of the Republic of Kazakhstan Zhanar Kusherbayeva and Diyar Akenev and "Ave Maria" choreographed by Damir Urazymbetov performed by the soloist of the same theater Aiya Melis. The first dance is about the mysterious process of the artist's search for an ideal and the creation of the image of a swan.
In Ayukhanov's interpretation, cello and piano melodies acquired completely new intonations from Fokine's usual idea. Here the swan comes to life and rushes into the sky, inspired by the artist, who in turn was inspired by the bird and its image (see fig. 7). The second dance was marked by the premiere of the "Ave Maria" choreographic composition by Damir Urazymbetov to the music of Johann Bach -Charles Gounod performed by Aiya Melis (see fig. 8). The dance, inspired by the idea of the eternal, adorned this event, an exhibition dedicated to children's creativity.
A dance about the soul, a dance about the mother of the whole world, who gives light and inspiration to all those who seek, suffer, and talented.

Well-known Kazakh teacher Anvara Sadykova shared her impressions of visiting the opening: "I just arrived from Nur-Sultan and the first thing I came to the gallery. As soon as I walked in, I felt such a warm and kind atmosphere. I think it was created by pure / sincere intention, the organizers. As the Kazakhs say "niet", if it exists, then sooner or later the plan will come true. To be honest, I am overwhelmed with emotions from being here-this is a real celebration of my soul. She feels calm, comfortable, joyful here. Many thanks to the organizers for such a wonderful event." (see fig. 9, 10)

of the psycho-emotional state.

«Танец сердца. Полет души». Выставка как проект
Аннотация
Автор прочитал и одобрил окончательный
вариант рукописи и заявляет об отсутствии конфликта интересов.
В настоящей статье представлено описание культурно-просветительского выставочного проекта в стране, посвященного детскому изобразительному творчеству в контексте танцевального искусства.
Во все времена вопрос воспитания и просвещения молодежи ставился во главу угла. Такая задача вызывала самые разные не только методические, но и творческие решения, которые в большей степени были связаны с эволюционными процессами и окружающей действительностью. Сегодня, в век Интернета, находясь в одной точке, можно присутствовать одновременно на нескольких мероприятиях по всему миру, в том числе участвовать в конкурсах.
Цель данной статьи заключается в осмыслении, анализе и описании Республиканской выставки «Танец сердца. Полет души», приуроченной к Международному дню балета и 30-летию Независимости Республики Казахстан. Для исследования темы автором применены аналитический и описательный методы. Продуктивным для исследования представляется социокультурный подход как один из способов определить условия и основные характеристики творческой среды среди детей и подростков, выявление которых будет способствовать развитию мотивации к творческому самовыражению и творческих компетенций детей и молодежи.
С целью осмысления выставочного проекта проведен обзор источников и сформулированы концептуальные и практические подходы к организации и проведению детского творческого проекта. Благодаря анализу проведенной выставки стало возможным определить, какие способы могут использоваться для развития детского и подросткового творчества, выражения некоторых внутренних, часто неосознаваемых в подобном возрасте интенций.
