Yachmennikov, Artem Nikolayevich (born 25 February 1983) is a ballet artist, soloist and premier at the leading theatres of the world, including the Bolshoi Theatre and Mariinsky Theatre. == Biography == Yachmennikov started dancing at age 6 with Russian folk dances in the choreographic ensemble "Mozaika" in Saint-Petersburg. In 1993, at age 10, he passed a 3-tours exam to the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet. He had always been known as a very hardworking student. His main teachers at the Academy were L. Melnikova, P. Silkin and A. Garbuz. Yachmennikov graduated with the highest marks at the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet in Saint-Petersburg in 2001 and was immediately invited to the troupe at the Mariinsky Theatre. His teacher at the time was Rejepmyrat Abdyyew. At 18 years old, Yachmennikov debuted in the ballet ''Don Quixote'' as Espada. During those years he had many different solo parts in the ballet repertoire, including Steptext (William Forsythe), and Le Corsaire (Birbanto). In 2006 Yachmennikov accepted the invitation of the Dutch National Ballet and went to Amsterdam to perform there as a principal dancer. His teachers were Rinat Gizatulin and Guillaume Graffin. An important meeting also happened at that time. Russian ballet legend Natalia Makarova came to the Dutch National Ballet for the rehearsals with its dancers. WHen she saw Yachmennikov's rehearsal in the ballet La Bayadère in the leading part of Solor, she recommended him as a soloist for this ballet. Yachmennikov debuted successfully with the part and became a soloist of the theatre for the next two years. Yachmennikov performed in all the leading parts of the repertoire as ''La Bayadere'' (Solor), ''La Sylphide'' (James), ''The Sleeping Beauty'' (Prince Desire), ''Romeo and Juliet'' (Romeo), ''Coppelia'' (Franz), ''Sarcasmen'', ''Adagio Hammerklavier'' (Hans Van Manen), ''Black Cake'' (Hans Van Manen) and more. In 2008 Yachmennikov went back to Russia. From 2008 until 2011 he performed as the first soloist at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. His teacher during this time was an honored artist of Russia, Boris Akimov. More classical and modern ballets were run successfully: ''Les Sylphides'' (Poet), ''Symphony in C'' (George Balanchine), ''Serenade'' (George Balanchine), and ''Russian Seasons'' (Alexei Ratmansky). In 2009 Yachmennikov participated in the Korea International Ballet Competition, winning a silver medal. He also performed as a guest-principal dancer with the ballet ''Swan Lake'' (Prince Siegfried) at the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre. Yachmennikov participated in many gala-concerts in Europe, Ukraine, China, South America and Japan. In 2010 Yachmennikov accepted the invitation from San Francisco Ballet, and performed there as a principal dancer from 2010 until 2011. Some more ballets from his repertoire were shown to the audience: ''Giselle'' (Albrecht), ''The Nutcracker'' (Prince, Snow King) by Helgi Tomasson, and ''Symphony in C'' (George Balanchine). Unfortunately his career was interrupted because of serious trauma on his ankle suffered while rehearsing a new ballet, and Yachmennikov had to undergo a few surgeries before getting back on the stage. After his return to performances at that time he danced as a guest artist in many theatres around the world. He collaborated with the Charity Fond of Maris Liepa, led by Andris Liepa, and performed in a world tour with his project ''Russian Seasons'', dancing in ''Scheherazade'' (Golden Slave), ''Cleopatra/Ida Rubinstein'' (Robert de Montesquiou) choreographed by Patrick de Bana, and ''The Firebird'' (Ivan-Tsarevich). Yachmennikov was invited to perform at the premiere of the Primorsky Theatre of ballet and opera in Vladivostok and an author's ballet, ''14 Simphony'', was choreographed by A. Akhmetov especially for him. Throughout his career, Yachmennikov worked with such choreographers as Natalia Makarova, Hans van Manen, Rudi van Dantzig, John Neumeier, Peter Wright, Alexei Ratmansky, William Forsythe, Patrick de Bana and Francesco Ventriglia. His partners included Svetlana Zakharova, Ilze Liepa, Sofiane Sylve, Yuanyuan Tan, Igone de Jongh, Larissa Lezhnina, Maria Alexandrova, and Maria Abashova. In 2014 Yachmennikov performed on Italian TV in ''Ballando Con Le Stelle'' of Milly Carlucci on RAI UNO on the song of the famous Italian singer, Gigi D'Alessio. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Artem Yachmennikov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
