Choreographer Nikita Mikhailov spoke about the skater’s new short program Makara Ignatova .
Earlier in May, 23-year-old Ignatov announced his transfer to Evgeni Plushenko’s group.
— How did the opportunity to work with Makar arise?
— There was an opportunity before his transfer to Evgeniy Viktorovich (Plyushchenko). I also studied with Evgeniy Vladimirovich (Rukavitsyn) and we have been working together for several years.
— How is Makar at work?
— Very hardworking, rehearses a lot and does it to his full potential. Sometimes athletes memorize the program and skate it in full during practice, but Makar jumps in immediately and does it several times. This makes it immediately clear which aspects will take root and which will not. This is a great advantage.
— Can you tell us generally about production?
— A short program on the music of an Italian singer, the song is called “Solo”, it talks about loneliness, lyrical, but quite intense and energetic. We will reveal Makar from the point of view of the character of a wounded soul,” Mikhailov told .
Ignatov is a silver medalist at the Russian Championship, a two-time winner of the Russian Cup final and a stage of the international Challenger Nebelhorn Trophy series.
