Is it hard or easy to be the kid of celebrities? For those striving for an ordinary life - it is easy, but for those who do not want to be in the shadow of brilliant parents - it is very difficult. It is necessary to find your own path - original and uncompromising.
Definitely not to say who Alisa Khazanova is. During her life she was a ballet actress and director of dance performances; theater and film actress, screenwriter, producer and director at the same time; and even a singer. And she succeeded in all this equally professionally.
Study
Alice's biography originates in Moscow. Date of birth - February 13, 1974. In the famous Khazanov family, the child did not need to be forced to engage in creativity, she studied with her parents. Since childhood, she dreamed of dancing, and no parental persuasion about the difficulty of the profession stopped her. After classes in a comprehensive school, the girl gladly ran to lessons in a ballet studio.
It is not surprising that the "honors diploma" was the result of her studies at the Moscow Academy of Choreography, where Alisa received two professions at once - "ballet dancer" and "choreographer-director". In addition to classical ballet, she was attracted by modernity, which made her graduate from courses in America.
Later, at the turn of the century, Khazanova completed her acting courses "Florent" in Paris.

Refusing an offer to work in the states, the ballerina returns to Russia and for 8 years has been serving in the most prestigious theater - the Bolshoi. Together with the most famous dancers of our time, she created many images in classical ballet performances.
Unfortunately, due to a knee injury received at a ski resort, the ballerina's career had to be given up. She was able to recover, but she could not dance professionally. Much later, an invitation was received to dance in the ballet "The Decay of the Atom" as part of the Diaghilev Festival in Perm. Alice accepted him and returned to her first profession during the project, becoming interested in the idea of a modernist production combining dance and text.
As an actress, Khazanova managed to create many memorable roles in cinema and on stage. The most significant, perhaps, was the role in the series "A Short Course in a Happy Life", directed by Valeria Gai-Germanika, although there were many other works, major and secondary ones. There are films with her participation in both French and Russian-Canadian projects.
Filming in the cinema began in the mid-10s, since that time the filmography of the actress has more than 20 works.
In the past, 2017, Alisa Khazanova made her debut as a director. Together with the American author, she wrote the script for the film "Shards", where she herself starred, and also produced the film. Filming took place in New York, in English.
Alisa's work as a singer could be seen in the production of Philip Grigoryan based on the songs of the "Civil Defense" group. The songs were specially written for her by the leader of the group, Yegor Letov.
It is characteristic that all films and works are chosen by the actress with an open heart. She is often reproached for the lack of certainty in the portrayal of the roles, they are written, as it were, in pastels. As the artist herself says, this is her way of transmitting the perception of the world. As for the characteristic roles, they are written out clearly. “The viewer should think and ask questions, not look for them in the plot of the film,” she says.
Family life
For the first time, Alisa Khazanova got married when she was not even twenty years old for Dmitry Sidorov, the son of the ex-minister. Ardent feelings did not last even a year.
Relations with Alexander Fadeev (now the singer Danko), who served with her at the Bolshoi, never ended in marriage.
The marriage with the Swiss businessman David Baumann lasted more than 10 years. In this union, the daughters of Alice were born - Mina and Eva.
Now the happy chosen one of the actress and director is the famous lawyer Dmitry Shokhin. The family does not have common children, but thinks about this issue.
The famous mother teaches her daughters to make decisions and be responsible for them. He tries not to "press", but to imperceptibly lead to the choice of the right steps in life.
Much of the activity of an extraordinary director and actress does not correspond to generally accepted norms, is rather abstract, but, undoubtedly, she is very demanding of herself, even when life puts in situations that require action in spite of.
"I have long been accustomed to going my own way."
