First plays football, second - chess, third - roulette or on stage. Normally the rules of the game are not known. But how to find out what game particularly you are in at this particular time. Should the queen be captured by the knight if the king is poisoned by Gertrude? Should penalty be appointed if red comes out five times and Juliet is pale and motionless.

The characters of the Mixed Doubles ignore these questions. Related to different performances taking place at the same time they are dancing in extremely nonlinear time. Their chance to rescue depends on the speed of their reaction to the situations they bump into. Will they eventually get to the play, the one they are dreaming of, or will stay in distorted reality of parallel narratives - this is the question to be answered in the course of Mixed Doubles.

"Play in Decadence is a frenetic and neurotic trio that blends loose pedestrian character with daring and precise virtuosity. The choreography interacts with the eccentric music and whimsical visual projections to create a colorful and playful world. The stage becomes a cartoon: clothes go on and off, dancers draw themselves into and out of the space, five alarms ring at once, and just as soon as the dancers recuperate they fall or are shoved to the floor again. The dancers finally come to rest when they are stripped of all color and lie bare, leaving their lively sketches behind them."

Recently she has created 3 pieces for Lone Star Ballet (TX, USA) and one piece for students of the dance department at the GWU (Washington, DC).

At the moment Natalia is the professor of contemporary dance department at the Academy of Physical Education (S.-Petersburg).

This work is an attempt to understand why there is no happiness in women's eyes despite a huge choice of options promising them to feel the Genuine Women.

The work forms an opinion about the fashion world not from positions of those who dictate new fashionable tendencies but from women at whom powerful fashion-advertising siege is aimed at. It's the theorem of the fashionable industry by contradiction.

The name of work is a deliberate disavowal of ballet traditions. It is not a parody of ballet images. The musical theme of "Carmen Suite" disturbs Russian contemplation by the violent Spanish temperament and unrestrained passions of nature. It perfectly contrasts with pretentious images of women who have forgotten that worship of fashion is only game not life.

"You know nothing about life!" - this is a typical phrase to be uttered by parents or seniors. The knowledge of "life" implies the knowledge of the existence and survival in the extreme conditions of war, prison, logging or hospital. When the dark days arrive Russian changes his state of European enthusiasm for the state of Asian contemplation; and ends up in the state of spiritual drowsiness. Life is the natural force, bleak and gloomy. One should never forgets it. One step to the right, one step to the left - you've lost the knowledge of life. The English Queen doesn't know the life at all. Victor Erofeev "Encyclopedia of the Russian Soul"

"Space. Time. Creation. The way creator's contemporaries and future generations living in different parts of the world would perceive his or her work. Something encourages man to create in spite of.Something inconceivable, inexplicable, something that keeps creator going without swerving from the path. Is it a presentiment or a foresight? Or may be it's the responsibility for the God's gift in front of the sky?"

"Children adore fairytales very much. Sometimes they create them themselves in order to get away from problems and bad situations, thus making their own "miniature paradise". How often adults lack this "paradise", which one can easily feel when communicating with children. If everybody (at list almost everybody) could be joyful the way children are, then probably the world would be different".
