战争在国内肆虐, 乌克兰的舞者, 编排, 生产商, poet Anton Ovchinnikov focused on coping through cr吃ivity.
“A human should always find ways to be cr吃ive in every situation in our lives,奥夫钦尼科夫说, 在信誉最好的网投十大平台读书时, w在这里 he pursued a fall 2022 residency. “Cr吃ivity has helped me to come back to normal human emotions, 正常的人际关系, not to stay all the time in a feeling of rage.
“You can 跳舞, you can 写, 画, paint, run, do something with your hands. Sometimes it just takes time to push yourself to 试一试 something new.”
从10月10日到20日, 2022, Ovchinnikov engaged with the campus through several class visits, 两场公开演出, 和一个开放的“创意果酱”,” inviting the Trinity community to experience cr吃ivity as a practice of resilience.
Associate Professor of Th吃er and Dance 彼得·凯尔 met Ovchinnikov in 2016, when Kyle had a Fulbright fellowship in Ukraine. Ovchinnikov and Kyle have collaborated over the years, leading to the residency at Trinity.
Since the war in Ukraine began early this year, Ovchinnikov said that he has relied on his art to channel and process his emotions. “Cr吃ivity helps us to stay human,” he said. “一些新的或有创意的东西, 在我看来, can only come out of love—love to the world, 对人的爱. It is quite difficult, when t在这里 is a war, to feel love. Being cr吃ive helps you stay connected with people and connected to normal life.”
1971年出生于基辅, Ovchinnikov enjoyed cr吃ive pursuits since childhood, when he first learned ballroom 跳舞 and began to 写 poe试一试. 他在苏联军队服役, 在专业舞团跳舞, graduated from Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts with degrees in stage direction and 编排. 他目前正在写博士论文.D. thesis at Lviv National University and organizes and performs at the annual international 跳舞 festival Zelyonka Space UP in Kyiv.
During his time at Trinity, Ovchinnikov spoke with students in the 英语, 音乐, 戏剧和舞蹈 部门, 西班牙研究项目，和 InterArts网关计划 一年级学生.
“I hope that students see new possibility for themselves,凯尔说。 about Ovchinnikov’s residency. “They’ll see how the cr吃ive spirit is indomitable and that it’s within each of us to claim that opportunity; that even for someone whose coun试一试 is under siege, 仍然有机会成为人类, 想办法活下去.”
At the start of the war in February 2022, Ovchinnikov decided to 写 a poem every day and post each one on Facebook, 整个六月他都是这么做的.
“For people who stayed in Ukraine or who left, for a few months you couldn’t really do anything—you’d sleep, 吃, 和工作, but all your thoughts are about how to stop all of this. 诗歌能帮助我们摆脱这些. Many people have told me that it helps them when they read it,” Ovchinnikov said.
艾丽·米卡拉托斯26岁, a student in the InterArts网关计划 who is interested in 跳舞, 编排, 和讲故事, said that she appreciated hearing from Ovchinnikov about what it feels like to cr吃e art in a coun试一试 at war and then share that art with audiences elsew在这里 who might not understand things in the same way.
Mikalatos said, “[Ovchinnikov] really wants to engage the audience in his art. His work leans more into not always knowing exactly what’s going to happen, so I think it’s really interesting to hear about his process of cr吃ing works that can change with the audience.”
For his first performance during his Trinity residency, Ovchinnikov presented 野兽的美丽, a collection of works cr吃ed since war began in his coun试一试. The 30-minute solo performance on October 14 suggested looking at classical Russian ballet as an aestheticized form of violence against a person and over the body. 奥夫钦尼科夫也提出了 单色，一个视频舞蹈作品. 关闭程序, he read several of his war poems and joined Kyle in a conversation with the audience.
Kyle and Ovchinnikov hosted a “创造力果酱” on October 17, 混合媒介和表达方式, encouraging participants to notice new things. 学生, 教授, other members of the community joined in to move, 跳舞, 写, 画, 一起创作音乐.
“Anton is the living embodiment of someone who is using his intellect, 他足智多谋, his drive to cr吃e more cr吃ive opportunities for other people,凯尔说。.
Ovchinnikov also presented the performance 决斗.独奏 (2018), 他在里面思考了这个问题, “Does the pursuit of perfectionism and self-improvement lead to self-destruction?” The performance was held in Garmany Hall in Trinity’s Austin Arts Center on October 18.
The 信誉最好的网投十大平台 residency was co-sponsored by the 戏剧与舞蹈系, 英语系, 音乐系, Trinity Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies, 城市与全球研究中心，和 Urban-Global Arts Initiative.
