Biography
Natalia Rzhepishevskaya was born on January 4 (17), 1904 in Kharkov [1] in the family of the famous architect Alexander Rzhepishevsky [2] .
She studied in many dance studios and, among them, in the studio of Lev Lukin . Natalia Glan's debut as a choreographer took place in 1924 at the concert program of dance numbers to the music of Frederic Chopin on the stage of the Moscow Chamber Theater . In her first production, Glan used plastic dance tools and eccentrics. Some of these dances were then transferred to the stage (“Haberdashery” E. Mei, “Reporter” by Alexander Rumnev , “Variety Singer” by Galina Shakhovskaya ) [1] .
Perceiving the style of Nikolai Foregger , in her choreopantime to the music of Yuri Milyutin “Ivan Malyar and Four Dans” performed by the choreographic department of the College of Performing Arts Natalia Glan in several satirical, pamphlet dance scenes brought to the stage the types of a modern street - traders, policemen, street children [1] .
Natalia Glan staged dances in the plays of Alexander Tairov “Day and Night” (1926), “Love under the Elms” (1926) and created plastic in the premiere performance of Vsevolod Meyerhold “Bedbug” based on the play by Vladimir Mayakovsky (1929) [1] .
In the early 1930s, she worked in the Moscow and Leningrad music halls. Glan staged dances in the performances “How the 14th Division went to Paradise”, “Under the Circus Dome”, etc. [1]
Dancing Glan, according to Natalia Sheremetyevskaya , was characterized by “a sharp grotesque pattern of movements in combination with everyday gestures”. She “denied the dance technique as an end in itself, trying to subordinate her stage imagery” [1] .
In 1926, Natalia Glan played a major role in the first film of her husband Boris Barnet and Fyodor Oeps " Miss Mend " [2] .
Just like her sister Galina Shakhovskaya, Natalia Glan was friendly with Lyubov Orlova [2] .
In the last years of her life, she was an assistant to the opera director Boris Pokrovsky at the Bolshoi Theater . Her death was a great loss for Pokrovsky:
| ... I was fortunate enough to work at the Bolshoi Theater with Natalia Aleksandrovna Glan, who possessed exceptional talent and an excellent spiritual and professional complex for the activities of an assistant director. She completely trusted the director and completely “appropriated” his ideas to herself. It was not a service, it was a service [3] . |
She died on September 12, 1966 in Moscow. An urn with ashes was buried at the New Don cemetery [4] .
