Biography
The "Ice Age" on the first channel is a unique program that allows the artists of the theater, cinema, television, pop, sports for a moment to imagine themselves by the conquerors of the elements. Along with professional skaters, they perform axels, trees, flips and rittbergera, walt and rotate the wolf. And do not yield to the technique.History of creation and essence of the program
In 2006, the "Star on Ice" was published on the first channel, created by the "Lekalam" British BBC TV and Radio Company. The essence was that figure skating professionals went on the ice in a pair with celebrities, which barely kept ice skates.
From day to day by exhausting workouts of actors, ballet, cinema, television, turned into masters. The art of dissecting the ice newcomers taught the world champion in this sport Ilya Averbukh.
After releasing the season, the producers of the first channel thought about creating a copyright, similar to "Stars on Ice", with more complex rules, team confrontation, intrigue. In 2007, television saw the Ice Age.
Competition rules
The essence of the "Ice period" remained the same: the couples are combined with skaters and celebrities, distant from the "Ice" sport. To hone to perfection a short or arbitrary program, delivered by professional choreographers, the participants have a week. Next, they represent the numbers to the jury.Despite the fact that in 2006 the 6-point system (from 0.0 to 6.0) was classic for figure skating (from 0.0 to 6.0) was replaced by the new judicial, participants of the "Ice period" were evaluated by the old rules. This step was intentionally, even inexperienced ice conquerors could understand the principle. Estimates are exhibited traditionally for equipment and artistry.
Couples that scored less than the entire judicial scores become nominees for reaching out of the program. Save them can audience voices sent by SMS. Those who, before the next issue, will not conquer the love of Russians, leave the project.
There were cases in the history of the show, when the viewers' opinion turned out to be secondary. Thus, in the 4th season of the "Ice Age", Katerina Spitz and Maxim Staviski scored only 36.19% following the results of SMS voting, but Chairman of the Tatyana Tarasova, Chairman of the Tatyana Tarasova announced that "all couples that have come down to the 15th stage automatically came out In the final, regardless of the results of the voting of viewers. " "Clearing" is underway until 10 pairs remain in the standings.
In the 5th season, the leaders of the paired credit were given the opportunity to save less skillful skaters from the departure. So, the winners of the first 4 programs were awarded the "savings cards", each of which could be used only once. "Maps" issued each release, even if the leaders in the standings did not change. Thus, the same participants could apply immunity.
Winners are determined by adding the opinions of the jury members with the choice of viewers. The maximum index that skaters can get - 10. At the final concert of the "Ice period" one honors the owners of not only the 1st, but also the 2nd and 3rd places.
The key difference between the "ice age" from the "Stars on Ice" is in the team confrontation, because the coaches of Ilya Averbukh and Alexander Zhulin are leading to victory. Masters of figure skating put for wop numbers, help improve the equipment. The more filigree performers will be in their teams, the higher the chances of winning and folk recognition.
In the 2nd Glacial Season, the command element was removed. Each 2 release participants moved from one coach to another to reduce the degree of rivalry between Averbuch and Rogulin.
Presenters and members of the jury
The history of the "Ice period" has 7 leading. With a microphone in hand, like on the rink, skaters stood side by side with artists.
Began to comment on the "Ice" battle actor theater and cinema Marat Basharov, who in 2006 won the "Stars on Ice" show, and Irina Slutskaya, two-time world champion in figure skating. For the shooting period, the athlete was pregnant, so in the middle of the season it was replaced by TV presenter Ingeborg Dappeat.
After God, Slutskaya decided to devote himself to a child, so her place near Marat Basharov was taken by the star of the television series "My beautiful nanny" Anastasia Zavorotnyuk. The 2nd season of the Ice Age begins with the fact that the figure skater in the literal sense of the word passes Basharov in the hands of the artist, barely standing on skates.
In the 3rd season, Zavorotnyuk and Slutskaya remained without male support - Marat Basharov again stood a couple with a three-time champion of Russia in figure skating by Tatiana Navka. It was with this partner that the artist won in the transfer of "Stars on Ice".
In the 4th and 5th seasons, there were no changes in the presenters - a couple of Irina Slutsky made up a four-time world champion in figure skating Alexey Yagudin. Both were previously participated in the "Ice Delight", so they did not know what it was what it was to speak in front of Tatiana Tarasova. In the 6th season, the colleague of Yagutina has become a TV presenter, known for the transfer of "Evening Urgant", Alla Mikheev.
The voice behind the scenes is Vladimir Gomelsky, in the past, a professional basketball player, a master of sports of the USSR of the international class, a well-deserved coach of the RSFSR, and now the telecommattor specializes in figure skating. Among his projects - "Ice and the Flame" and "Cup of Professionals", side projects of the "Ice period", which was broadcast in 2010 and 2012, respectively.
Help the program in a tone and create the intrigue of the season helps a permanent member of the jury of the "Ice period", the legendary Tatyana Anatolyevna Tarasova. She is a well-deserved coach of the USSR on figure skating, raising a whole generation of talented athletes: Irina Rodnina and Alexander Zaitseva, Natalia Bestayanov and Andrei Bukina, Marina Klimov and Sergey Ponomarenko, Alexey Yagudina, Denis Ten. Therefore, if anyone knows a lot about competent skating, then only Tatyana Tarasova.
Side by side with the chairman of the jury were athletes and artists. The most competent is the composition of the 2nd and 3rd seasons: the champions on figure skating Anton Siharulidze and Tatiana Tutmianin, president of the Federation of figure skating on the skates of Russia Valentin Piseev, Ingeborg Dapkin.
In later seasons, Tatiana Tarasov supported the figure skaters Natalia Bestemyanov, Adeline Sotnikova, Ekaterina Gordeyeva, Igor Bobrin, Hockey players Pavel Bure, Vladislav Tretyak, Vyacheslav Fetisov. There was a place for the judicial table and people who do not understand the sport, but they can evaluate the artistism: Alla Pugacheva, Leonid Yarmolnik, Philip Kirkorov, Sergey Lazarev, Denis Matsuev, Kostya Tszyu and others.
Trainers
Ideological inspirer, producer, part-time leading show "Ice Age", and most importantly, the trainer of participants is Ilya Averbukh - world champion in figure skating, honored master of sports of Russia, choreographer. In 2008, the conqueror of ice awarded two teffi premiums at once for higher achievements in the field of television arts in the nominations "Entertainment Program: Game" and "Best Producer".To the creation of the "Ice period" Ilya Averbukh is suitable no less responsibly than at one time to prepare for the next figure skating championship. Excitement and fear Before the launch of the next season, a man explains the growing demands of viewers and a high plank set by previous winners. It is clear that in a week it is impossible to make from the beginner of the figure, so Ilya Averbukh works not so much over the wards technique as over emotions.
"For me, it is important that the artists do not just skate with great champions, and so that each number of at least 5 minutes to leave the aftertaste," the figure skater noted.Despite the fact that the jury members appreciate the number as a whole, Ilya Averbukh focuses on artistry - a line that is equally peculiar to both figure skaters and singers, and actors. The ability to file yourself on ice, with dignity to get out even from the most enchanting fall - here are the skills that is important to get during the Ice Age project.
Alexander Zhulin, the second coach of the show, considers otherwise. He is a real virtuoso in steam choreography: together with Maya Uryova, the titles of world, Europe and the USSR were awarded in ice dancing, received a bronze medal for participating in the 1992 Olympic Games and Silver 1994. For him, it is more important for the technique, which on the rink should not eclipse feelings.
In his productions, Zhulin focuses on complex elements, works with skaters until the movement will reach automatism. Its long-term experience of interaction with partner helps ward couples feel each other in dance.
