On July 19 and 20, the Eifman Dance Academy Theatre hosted Innopraktika School Festival Global Values. The audience enjoyed an exclusive program of dance premieres from talented artists and choreographers from Russia and around the world, a variety of artistic experiences, and a fireworks display of emotions.

Global Values Festival offers a unique opportunity to explore dance from various national schools, the rich artistic traditions of different cultures, and the unique creative world of outstanding choreographers and dancers from around the world. The festival is the culminating event and final stage of the Choreography session of Innopraktika School.

Participants of the session took to the stage of the Dance Academy Theatre to present the results of their work. Among the project's international choreographers were Sebastiano Mazzia (Italy), Evelyn Hart (UK), and Xiaoyi Tong (China/UK). Allen Chunhui Xing, a graduate of the Choreography session 2022 and currently head of the contemporary dance department at the Boris Eifman Dance Academy, also presented his piece "Unity" in the Festival program. Russia was represented by Uliana Marchuk, Galina Gorbunova, and past School participants and current Dance Academy graduates Igor Klinskii and Artem Meltishinov. Through experimental, original choreography and creative imagination, coupled with the young dancers' vibrant, individual vocabularies, the creators expressed in their works what truly unites people — the universal values concealed in the cultural codes of different countries.

Global Values Festival offered audiences discoveries and vibrant artistic experiences, immersing them in an atmosphere of friendship and unifying celebration, and became an unforgettable summer event. The Festival's permanent artistic director is Boris Eifman – world-renowned choreographer, People's Artist of the Russian Federation, and President of the Dance Academy, whose undisputed authority has attracted widespread attention to the project from the cultural community.
