The article considers the structure of the author's program and the main directions of its development in the system of interaction between culture and education in the context of world integration interactions. Its conceptual idea and content are focused on real scientific and methodological cooperation of related spheres of knowledge, which should lead to a qualitative improvement of the educational process based on programs of an integrative nature. Favorites for the basis of the art of ballet theater with access to the forefront of plastic arts opens wide opportunities for the development of academic research on the general background of the artistic culture of the world.
Keywords: master's program, ballet, synthesis of plastic arts, sphere and methodology of research, practical significance
The program is formed on the basis of author's scientific, educational-methodical, project development of an interdisciplinary nature:1 Spiritual demands of modern society require a high level of comprehension of reality, correlated with the common tasks of the culture of the 21st century. Interaction and interpenetration of sciences became an indispensable condition for their further development. Today it is difficult to find a major problem of one science, which would not attract the attention of a whole complex of others. The tendency to their synthesis is unquestionable in the development of modern theatrical art, the tendency to diffusion of expressive means dominates, which occurs at the boundaries of its individual species. Sometimes the performance looks like a mosaic gathered from various elements, which naturally raises the question of its specific boundaries, the preservation of the specifics of the means of expressiveness, and even the independent existence of theaters within the framework of the system that has historically evolved to the present day.2 We observe this and in the emergence and development of new types of artistic creativity, which is caused by the urgent need for life to create a single and integral scientific and cultural picture of the world that corresponds to the present level of accumulated nnyh knowledge. This requires improving the professional skills of filmmakers, screenwriters, cameramen, directors, artists, actors, art theorists, awakening the spirit of innovative ideas; bold search new themes and expressive possibilities of the language of the ballet theater. These tasks arise not only for ballet studies in a narrow sense, but also for the pedagogy of art and synthetic art history, should be reflected in the curriculum of a master's level focused on a systematic and systematic study of not only history but also contemporary theoretical and practical problems of the theatrical arts. "The nature of the ballet genre involves the unification of many arts: plastics, music, painting (decorative art), and in a number of phenomena (especially at an early stage of genre development) - singing and recitation".3
Analysis of the scientific literature allows us to conclude that the traditionally problematic field of research of the ballet is associated with the art criticism of knowledge, which, in our opinion, significantly narrows the range of raised issues of comprehension of classical ballet art. The existing practice marked the beginning of studying traditional theatrical disciplines in theatrical and creative educational institutions: "The History of Ballet", "The Art of the Choreographer", "The Choreographic Work", "The Choreographic Direction", "The Composition of Classical Dance", etc. 4 However, courses based on innovative technologies for designing complex systems, using visual materials and other visual sources, attracting computer technologies and programs are called upon to play an invaluable role in the learning process. In the new cultural context, the problem of enriching the choreographic language and gradually ousting the repertory theater and its traditional essence with a high-tech theater of stage design is acute. Modern theatrical criticism in the evaluation of scenic works increasingly relies on a number of fundamental and applied disciplines: art criticism, literary criticism, cultural studies, philosophy, structuralistics, linguistics, source study, including theater design, computer technologies and polychological tools.
The main goal of the master's program is to prepare specialists for the creative profile to professional scientific, educational, project, intellectual-capacious activities by studying the field of scientific research, mastering the skills of conducting interdisciplinary research and projects, mastering innovative intellectual technologies for generation, processing, presentation of knowledge. The main tasks: to deepen, expand and improve the basic professional knowledge and skills of the listeners, to form the skills of the system approach, motivational attitudes towards self-management of scientific research activity, improvement and development of its own intellectual, general cultural and scientific potential, its application in the subject field of professional activity.

The scientific field of the study of the program "Ballet and the synthesis of plastic arts" presupposes a broad study of current topics related to the morphology of the ballet as a synthetic art form, various aspects of the interaction of stage dance and plastic arts (graphics, painting, sculpture, arts and crafts, architecture and other kinds creativity) to the study of a qualitatively new artistic phenomenon, not reducible only to the sum of the components, integral components. The paradigm of modern education assumes the active role of all participants in the educational process in the formation of a motivated competent personality capable of: quickly navigating in a dynamically developing and renewing information space; receive, use and create a variety of information; make informed decisions and solve life problems on the basis of acquired knowledge, skills and habits. The author of the program believes that today its material is extremely in demand in conditions of realization of not only national, but also world educational initiative.
The scope of master's studies can include little developed modern problems of the theory and history of the ballet theater, relating to classical choreography in the context of the organization of the stage space and the spatial arts interacting with it. These are the ideas of direction and movement in space, the questions of architectonics and the plastic form of ballet performance, the criteria for portrayal in dance, the principles of interaction of expressive and visual means, the problems of retrospective and innovative stylistic directions in ballet, the methods of reconstructing the choreographic heritage, the questions of the addition of academic schools of classical dance and the overcoming their boundaries from tradition to the pioneering quest for a dance in the open environment, museum and other spaces.
Another aspect of scientific master's searches may be topics related to the composition of museum and private collections, mainly theatrical profile, storing the graphic materials of ballet iconography and decoration. Thus, all platforms of the ballet theater with a complex of research problems that somehow come into contact with the existing structure of the visual artistic image in the work of artists and choreographers, as well as the forecasting of future new forms of visual visualization in the process of creating choreographic works, turn out to be involved here.
The dominant author's discipline included in the basic part of the master's training in the direction 071200 (52.04.01) "Choreographic art" - "Methodology of scientific research in choreography" Parallel courses that complement this discipline, creating a thematic specialized unit are: "Modern problems of science and art "," Analysis of choreographic works "," Synthesis of spatial and plastic arts "," Costume and scenic decoration of dance "," Ballet iconography "," Scenography of the ballet spectrum , "Philosophy of dance", "Author's concept, form, genre, vocabulary of the choreographic work", "Art criticism, historical, culturological, psychological and pedagogical approaches in research and critical analysis of works of choreographic art".5 Discipline "Methodology of scientific research in choreography" is fundamental for the study of all subsequent courses, since the knowledge and skills formed within its framework are methodological in nature and allow applying them in the field of modern technologies and methods for creating original creative projects and solving professional problems.6
The method of mastering the master's program includes lecturing, conducting practical classes, interactive forms of research work (presentations, trainings, excursions, internships) during the first year of training. The lectures are provided on topics of theoretical importance.7 What are you doing? regions of finding the monuments of ballet iconography, involved in the concept of the program, will broaden and enrich the notion of the geography of the location, will encourage them to study. Participation in the programs of theater and art education, competitions, festivals and other events contribute to the popularization of art in society. Practical studies are devoted to problematic issues and are called upon to form the analysis skills of the synthetic work of ballet art, drawing up programs for its structural study. Practical classes are designed to build the skills of using knowledge about the features and specifics of various forms and genres of art, as well as the skills of directing a theatrical performance in future professional and cultural activities.
The course provides for the development of several scientific publications, educational and methodological developments, computer presentation projects, writing reviews for a ballet performance, organizing and conducting its own integrative mini research into the historical development of the ballet theater in one of the countries proposed, an analysis of the choreographic work of a certain genre, and it is possible to direct the visual decision of your own number or performance in the context of a spatial and plastic dialogue Sgiach arts. "should also be pointed to the fact that it was in the Russian socio-cultural space that the classical ballet was the subject of close attention, both to the audience and the subjects of state cultural policy, from the end of the 19th century to the last quarter of the 20th century. Stably maintaining the status of national pride. Geography of modern classical ballet is unusually wide - it includes all continents and most developed countries of the world.8 The interdisciplinary character of the research themes allows us to attract a wide range of concepts that encompass not only formal and methodological but also substantive aspects of ballet art.9 The knowledge obtained in the process of learning the program will be used in the course of scientific research. Inclusion of undergraduates, as a rule, a choreographic profile, in polirovolevy interaction with each other in presentations and reports at the consultations of the research cycle significantly activates the adaptive processes aimed at further professional activity.10 The main provisions of the prepared master's theses and conclusions obtained will not only significantly expand the already available information on the problem under study, but also develop a new methodology for examining the phenomenon of choreographic art from interdisciplinary positions.
Practical significance
The competences of the master's program are aimed at the ability of graduates to introduce innovative technologies that take into account the needs of society, to design activities in the field of culture and art (projects of museums of theaters, art exhibitions and ballet exhibitions, houses of culture and creativity), to the protection and reconstruction of cultural values. They are also oriented towards the readiness to develop the goals and priorities of the scientific and creative activity of scientific research, educational institutions and cultural institutions that realize the pedagogical, directorial, artistic-staging and actor-performing types of professional work of the choreographer and artist. The practical orientation of the developed program includes the use of different approaches (functional-realistic, artistic-creative, socially-oriented and others), the correlation of scientific disciplines and their methods in complex art research. Strategies for specific integrated research and approaches contain a "Context-concept-project", exist as stages of integrative design. Today, in conditions of dynamic changes in society, design becomes an algorithm not only of design and architecture, but also a form of social practice, and the synthesis of plastic arts must include not only the principles of space organization, but also social models for the further development, preservation and improvement of aesthetics and beauty in human life.
The final importance of the master's program consists in mastering the skills of collecting and processing information, the methodology for conducting scientific research in the field of ballet and related plastic arts, with the basic rules for the use of professional vocabulary; conceptual - categorial apparatus of the art of integrative science, professional culture of the presentation of the material and the skills of using sources and scientific literature in the process of creating the scientific text of the master's thesis.11 The priority of project education is now recognized by the entire world community, as it presents the social creativity of students in various organizational forms of activities to create new material and spiritual values in the interests of the society. The process of activity during the two years of training is improved under the influence of its own product - the project and each new level of education involves the resumption of the cycles of the functioning of design on the basis of the synthesis of plastic arts with the complication of the program sections. The methodology of the theatrical project activity reveals its dialectical character, the complex dynamics of cognitive, creative and research activity in the context of the relationship between the head and the master researcher. Thus, the obtained scientific results will allow to increase the effectiveness of intellectual activity in the fields: science, culture and art, education, design. "Integrative processes in culture express profound changes in the position of the individual in the modern world and the needs for its formation, development and self-realization.12
Developed innovative approaches will help to improve the quality of graduates of the master's degree in creative direction who will be highly educated, competent, enterprising, confident, tolerant, capable of dialogue and cooperation.
