Ранняя жизнь и образование
[ редактировать ]Акане Такада родилась 18 апреля 1990 года в Токио . [ 1 ] Она из района Higashishinkoiwa в Кацусике и начала обучение балета в балетной студии Hiromi Takahashi в соседней Эдогаве в возрасте трех лет. [ 2 ] Когда ей было двенадцать лет, серьезная травма коленной связки вывихнула ее надколенник и прервала ее тренировку более года, в то время как она физически выросла, чтобы сделать возможной корректирующую операцию. [ 3 ] После победы в стипендии от компании Ballet Equipment Company Chacott на конкурсе Национальной балетной ассоциации, она училась в Академии Ballet Ballet с 2006 по 2008 год, первоначально посещая занятия для международных танцоров, но в конечном итоге присоединившись к российским классам. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Она выиграла стипендию и любимый приз аудитории на Международном конкурсе балета Prix de Lausanne в 2008 году. [ 6 ]
Карьера
[ редактировать ]2008–2015 гг.: Ученик первого солиста
[ редактировать ]Такада присоединилась к Королевскому балету в качестве ученика в 2008 году, а затем в качестве художника в 2009 году. [ 7 ] Хореограф Уэйн МакГрегор бросил ее в свой новый балет 2009 года . [ 8 ] Она также выступила в возрождении Фредерика Эштона балетной рапсодии , получив похвалу от Сары Кромптон из Telegraph за ее выступление в качестве солиста. [ 9 ] Ее выступление в качестве осенней феи в Золушке было менее хорошо принято, с Зоей Андерсон из «Независимого», отметив, что «рискованное, небалансированное качество соло пропало». [ 10 ] В 2011 году она повторно пострадала то же колено, которое она получила, когда ей было двенадцать лет, снова прерывая свою карьеру. [ 3 ] In the 2013 production of Onegin, Takada performed the role of Olga, providing "strong support" to the main dancers.[11]
In 2014, Takada was promoted to first soloist.[12] Writing for dance magazine DanceView, Jane Simpson contrasted Takada's less exciting performance as Princess Florine in The Sleeping Beauty to her more assertive performance as Aurora, calling Takada's dancing "clear and unornamented" and predicting future success.[13] In December of that year, after dancing the role of Kitri in an afternoon performance of Don Quixote, Takada stepped into the lead role that evening as a mid-performance substitute for Natalia Osipova, who had been injured during the first act.[3] Her performance was praised by Zoë Anderson in The Independent, with the critic observing that Takada's qualities suited "Kitri's mischievous nature".[14] As a first soloist Takada also danced the principal role in Frederick Ashton's The Two Pigeons in 2015.[15]
2016–present: Principal dancer
[edit]Takada was promoted to principal dancer in 2016 at the age of 26.[5] Vogue Japan named her one of its 2016 Women of the Year.[16] Takada debuted in the lead role in Giselle later that year alongside Thiago Soares, with Clement Crisp of the Financial Times describing her as a "Giselle of subtle power".[17] Takada paired with Steven McRae to dance the roles of Titania and Oberon in the Frederick Ashton ballet The Dream in 2017, with Judith Mackrell of The Guardian commending the pair for their footwork and their distinctively dark portrayal of the characters.[18] Takada performed in another Wayne McGregor piece, titled Infra, in 2018, but her performance was criticized for lacking emotional power and weight despite its technical quality.[19] Later that year, as Nikiya in a production of La Bayadère, Takada again danced with McRae, drawing praise from Laura Freeman of The Spectator for her "air of otherworldly detachment and exquisite lightness of line" but criticism for an ineffective pairing.[20]
Writing for the Evening Standard, Emma Byrne described Takada in 2019 as "one of the Royal’s most elegant dancers".[21] Takada missed the Royal Ballet's 2019 summer tour of Japan, in which she was scheduled to perform the role of Kitri in the Japanese premiere of Don Quixote, due to injury.[22] In November 2019, during a performance of The Sleeping Beauty, Takada was injured during the first act, and was replaced in the rest of the performance by Yasmine Naghdi.[23]
