Abstract

The main objective of the study is to analyze the pedagogical activity of Mykola Trehubov on the basis of archival documents, periodicals, memories of his colleagues and students. Methodology. Preparing the article, the author applied historical, analytical approaches and used the methods of “included observation” to submit and summarize his own data, in particular, an interview. Scientific novelty. The article, for the first time, attempts to analyze the activities of Mykola Trehubov as a pedagogue. Considerable attention is paid to the pedagogical views of the master, which were reflected in the guidelines for the discipline “The art of the choreographer”, and his teaching work at the Kyiv State Institute of Culture (1971–1994). Conclusions. Having educated a whole galaxy of ballet dancers, Mykola Trehubov summarized and developed his practical experience accumulated over the decades while working at the Department of Choreography of the Kyiv State Institute of Culture named after Oleksandr Korneychuk. He formulated his pedagogical reflections in the guidelines for the discipline “The art of the choreographer”. Mykola Trehubov emphasized that the development of students’ choreography abilities is impossible without self-control, self-discipline, self-education and self-analysis. Due to this, the choreographer had to move from reproductive (consumer) activity to productive (creative). In the process of education, the pedagogue gave a significant role to the synthesis of classical dance, folklore and ordinary human gestures, and he called generalization as one of the main methods that the future choreographer should master. Mykola Trehubov repeatedly told the students that both the material (a set of movements) and the spiritual (the content which saturated the movement and the image) must be present in a dance because the choreographic and psychological aspects are in dialectical interaction. Mykola Tregubov considered the ability to feel and understand music as one of the key competencies for the future choreographer.
