Yaroslavl State Theater Institute. Admissions Committee Yaroslavl State Theater

The history of the Yaroslavl theater school begins in the thirties: then there was a theater technical school in Yaroslavl. In 1945, a studio appeared at the F.G. Volkov Theater, the first directors of which were directors I.A. Rostovtsev and E.P. Aseev.

In 1962, on the initiative of the People's Artist of the USSR, Laureate of State Prizes of the USSR and the RSFSR, chief director of the Academic Theater named after F.G. Volkov, Firs Efimovich Shishigin, the Yaroslavl Theater School was created, which over the 20 years of its existence has graduated more than 350 actors drama theater and puppet theater.

The artistic directors of the acting courses and teachers of the school were leading masters of the Volkovo stage: People's Artists of the USSR F.E. Shishigin, G.A. Belov, V.S. Nelsky, S.K. Tikhonov; People's Artists of the RSFSR S.D. Romodanov, A.D. Chudinova, V.A. Solopov; Honored Artists of the RSFSR K.G. Nezvanova, L.Ya. Makarova-Shishigina, V.A. Davydov.

In 1980, the theater school received the status of the highest educational institution, now - Yaroslavl State theater institute. The artistic director of the school was Firs Efimovich Shishigin, who found his second calling in theater pedagogy and laid the foundations for the methodological positions of the Yaroslavl theater school. For many years headed the department of acting skills People's Artist USSR Sergei Konstantinovich Tikhonov. For 18 years the institute was headed by the rector, professor, honored artist Russian Federation, Doctor of Art History Stanislav Sergeevich Klitin. Under his leadership, the teaching staff of the university was formed from the leading actors of the F.G. Volkov Theater and the Yaroslavl Theater for Young Spectators, graduates of graduate school from Moscow and Leningrad. On the initiative of S.S. Klitin, YAGTI began training acting groups on the basis of theaters, thereby making a significant contribution to solving the personnel problem in provincial theaters.

Being a director, S.S. Klitin did not stop staging work in the theater and philharmonic society, many holiday concerts walked in his direction. On stage Educational theater musicals and fragments of operettas appeared at the institute. In 1993, on the initiative of S.S. Klitin, for the first time the university recruited students for the first year in the specialty Artist musical theater(1998 edition). For more than ten years S.S. Klitin headed the Yaroslavl branch of the Union theatrical figures Russian Federation.

The Department of Acting Skills and the Department of Puppet Theater are leading in the system of education of actors. The Department of Acting Skills in its practical activities is guided by the academic standards of the national acting school. For teachers of the department, K. Stanislavsky is not only the founder of new theatrical thinking, but also a systematizer creative heritage stage realism, represented in the acting art of the great masters of the Russian stage.

The Yaroslavl school of puppet theater actors is one of the youngest. Her successes are marked not only by the demand for Yaroslavl graduates in Russian puppet theaters, but also by numerous diplomas from various festivals and competitions.

The Yaroslavl school of puppeteers has its own characteristics. The department avoids a single template and does not impose the only correct approach on anyone, while in every possible way supports and reveals the individuality of the masters, which, of course, increases their responsibility and stimulates creative growth. Nevertheless, with all the uniqueness of pedagogical individuals, the department sees some common values. Course masters, as a rule, are experienced actors who love and know how to work masterfully with a doll, share the opinion that success in working with a doll depends on how accurately and subtly the student brings the doll to life, using the capabilities inherent in it.

In addition to acting specialties, the institute in recent years began training directors and artists (producers and technologists) for dramatic and puppet theaters. The first class of puppet theater production artists has already clearly made a statement not only in Yaroslavl, where their personal exhibitions were held, but also in theaters in other cities of Russia, where they created the design for performances.

Bogolepov, People's Artist of Russia, artist of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater V. Gvozditsky and professor Russian Academy theatrical arts A.

Komissarzhevskaya (Novocherkassk), Oskol Theater for Children and Youth (Stary Oskol) studies at the institute without leaving the walls of their theaters.

An excerpt characterizing the Yaroslavl State Theater Institute

A week passed, Caraffa still did not appear. Perhaps he (just like me!) needed time to think about his next move. Or perhaps he was distracted by some other responsibilities. Although I had a hard time believing the latter. Yes, he was the Pope... But at the same time, he was also incredibly gambler, for which it was beyond his strength to miss an interesting game. And playing cat and mouse with me gave him, I think, real pleasure...
Therefore, I tried my best to calm down and find in my exhausted head at least some “smart” thought that would help me focus on our unequal “war”, from which, in reality, I had no hope of getting out winner... But I still didn’t give up, because for me a “surrendered person” was much worse than a dead person. And since I was still alive, this meant that I could still fight, even if my soul was already slowly dying... I had to hold out at least for a while in order to have time to destroy this deadly viper, which was Caraffa. .. Now I no longer had any doubt that I could kill him if such an opportunity presented itself. But I still didn’t have the slightest idea how to do this. As I have just sadly learned from my own experience, it was impossible to destroy Karaffa in my “usual” way. This means that I had to look for something else, but, unfortunately, I had almost no time left for this.
I also thought about Girolamo all the time... He had always been my warm protective “wall”, behind which I felt safe and protected... But now she was no longer there... And there was nothing to replace her. Girolamo was the most faithful and most affectionate husband in the world, without whom a very important part of my world faded, becoming empty and cold. My life was gradually filled with sadness, melancholy and hatred... The desire to take revenge on Karaffa, forgetting about myself and how little my strength was in comparison with him... Grief blinded me, it plunged me into the abyss of despair, to get out of which I could only by defeating him.
Caraffa returned to my life about two weeks later, on an early sunny morning, very confident, fresh and happy, and entering the room, he joyfully said:
– I have a surprise for you, Madonna Isidora! I think you will really like it.
I immediately broke out in a cold sweat - I knew his “surprises”, they did not end well...
As if he had read my thoughts, Caraffa added:
– This is truly a pleasant surprise, I promise you. Now you will see it for yourself!
The door opened. And a tall, fragile girl entered it, carefully looking around... Horror and joy shackled me for a second, not allowing me to move... It was my daughter, my little Anna!!!.. True, it was already difficult to call her little now , because over these two years she has grown a lot and matured, becoming even more beautiful and even cuter...
My heart rushed to her with a scream, almost flying out of my chest!.. But there was no hurry. I didn’t know what the unpredictable Caraffa was up to this time. Therefore, I had to remain very calm, which was almost beyond my human strength. And only the fear of making an irreparable mistake held back my raging emotions that were rushing out like a hurricane. Happiness, horror, wild joy and fear of loss simultaneously tore me apart!.. Caraffa smiled contentedly at the effect produced... which immediately made me shudder inside. I didn’t even dare to think what could follow next... And I knew that if something terrible happened, the desire to protect Anna might be too strong to resist Karaffa... and I was panicky afraid that I wouldn’t be able to refuse him so that he didn't ask for it.
But, to my greatest surprise, his “surprise” turned out to be a real surprise!..
– Are you glad to see your daughter, Madonna Isidora? – Karaffa asked, smiling widely.
“It all depends on what comes next, Your Holiness...” I answered carefully. – But, of course, I’m incredibly happy!
“Well, enjoy the meeting, I’ll pick her up in an hour.” Nobody will bother you. And then I'll go get her. She will go to a monastery - I think this is the best place for such a gifted girl as your daughter.
– Monastery?!! But she has never been a believer, Your Holiness, she is a hereditary Witch, and nothing in the world will force her to be different. This is who she is and she can never change. Even if you destroy her, she will still remain a Witch! Just like me and my mother. You can't make her a believer!
“What a child you are, Madonna Isidora!” Caraffa laughed sincerely. “No one is going to make her a “believer.” I think she can serve our holy church very well by being exactly who she is. And perhaps even more. I have far-reaching plans for your daughter...
– What do you mean, Your Holiness? And what does this have to do with the monastery? – I whispered with frozen lips.
I was shaking. All this didn’t fit in my head, and I didn’t understand anything yet, I just felt that Caraffa was telling the truth. Only one thing scared me half to death - what kind of “far-reaching” plans does this have? scary person could it be on my poor girl?!..

Yaroslavl Theater Institute

Yaroslavl State Theater Institute is a higher educational institution for training qualified specialists in the field of art and culture and is one of the leading creative universities in our country.

In the thirties of the last century there was a theater technical school in Yaroslavl. In 1945, an acting studio appeared at the Academic Theater.

Yaroslavl Theater Institute is the leading creative university in Russia.

Yaroslavl State Theater Institute (YAGTI) was created in 1980 on the basis of the Yaroslavl Theater School.

The history of the Yaroslavl theater school begins in the 1930s. At that time there was a theater technical school in Yaroslavl. In 1945, a studio appeared at the theater named after F.G. Volkov, whose first leaders were directors I. A. Rostovtsev and E. P. Aseev.

In 1962, on the initiative of the People's Artist of the USSR, laureate of the State Prizes of the USSR and the RSFSR, the chief director of the State Academic Drama Theater named after F.G. Volkov, Firs Efimovich Shishigin, the Yaroslavl Theater School was created, which over the twenty years of its existence has produced more than 350 drama and puppet theater actors.

The artistic directors of the acting courses and teachers of the school were leading masters of the Volkovsky stage: People's Artists of the USSR F. E. Shishigin, G. A. Belov, V. S. Nelsky, S. K. Tikhonov; People's Artists of the RSFSR S. D. Romodanov, A. D. Chudinova, V. A. Solopov; Honored Artists of the RSFSR K. G. Nezvanova, L. Ya. Makarova-Shishigina, V. A. Davydov.

In 1980, the theater school received the status of a higher educational institution. The artistic director of the school (university) was Firs Efimovich Shishigin, who found his second calling in theater pedagogy and laid the foundations for the methodological positions of the Yaroslavl theater school. For 18 years, YAGTI was headed by the rector, Professor, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Art History Stanislav Sergeevich Klitin.

For many years, the Department of Acting Skills was headed by People's Artist of the USSR Sergei Konstantinovich Tikhonov.

Vyacheslav Sergeevich Shalimov, professor, candidate of art history, was also at the origins of the Yaroslavl theater university. He was among the first nonresident teachers who accepted S.S. Klitin’s offer to work in Yaroslavl, and in 1997 he took over the rector’s baton from him.

Since 2006, YAGTI has been headed by Honored Artist of Russia, Professor of the Department of Acting Skills Sergei Filippovich Kutsenko.

The Yaroslavl theater school, like any other, is authorial in nature, does not break ties with tradition, and is deeply and organically justified by stage practice. The essence of the Yaroslavl theater school is found in the atmosphere of the university's author's acting and directing workshops, in the professional skills of actors and directors connected with it by roots, in the creative and pedagogical talent of theater teachers.

The Department of Acting Skills and the Department of Puppet Theater are leading in the system of education of actors.

The Department of Acting Skills in its practical activities is guided by the academic standards of the national acting school. For the teachers of the department, K. S. Stanislavsky is not only the founder of new theatrical thinking, but also a systematizer of the creative heritage of stage realism, represented in the acting art of the great masters of the Russian stage.

The Yaroslavl Theater School confirms its vitality with talented students. Among them are famous directors, Honored Artists of Russia Sergei Yashin, Vladimir Bogolepov, Evgeny Marcelli, People's Artists of Russia Anatoly Abdulaev (Voronezh Chamber Theater), Viktor Gvozditsky (Moscow Art Theater named after A. Chekhov), Iruta Vengalite (BDT named after G. Tovstonogov) , Tatyana Ivanova, Valery Sergeev, Valery Kirillov (Russian State Academic Drama Theater named after F.G. Volkov), film artists Anna Samokhina, Tatyana Kulish, Vladimir Tolokonnikov, Vladimir Gusev, Yuri Tsurilo, Irina Grineva, Alexander Robak and many others ( see below for a list of notable alumni).

In recent years, the institute has been paying special attention to part-time and part-time training of actors in groups at theaters. For several provincial and two capital theaters, the first meeting with the university resulted in many years of cooperation: young actors of the Tula State Academic Drama Theater, the Moscow Russian Drama Theater “Chamber Stage”, the Don Drama and Comedy Theater named after V.F. Komissarzhevskaya (Novocherkassk), Oskol Theater for Children and Youth (Stary Oskol) and a number of others studied at the institute without leaving the walls of their theaters.

Since 1980, about two and a half thousand people have completed their studies at the Yaroslavl Higher Theater School.

The Yaroslavl school of puppet theater actors is one of the youngest. Her successes are marked not only by the demand for Yaroslavl graduates in Russian puppet theaters, but also by numerous diplomas from various festivals and competitions.

The Yaroslavl school of puppeteers has its own characteristics. The department avoids a single template and does not impose “the only correct approach” on anyone, while in every possible way supports and reveals the individuality of the masters, which, of course, increases their responsibility and stimulates creative growth. Nevertheless, despite the uniqueness of pedagogical individuals, the department sees some common values.

Course masters, as a rule, are experienced actors who love and know how to work masterfully with a doll, believe that success in working with a doll depends on how accurately and subtly the student brings the doll to life, using the capabilities inherent in it.

In addition to acting specialties, the institute in recent years has begun training directors and artists (producers and technologists) for drama and puppet theaters, as well as theater scholars and theater critics.

YAGTI students are participants and laureates of various international and all-Russian theater festivals: international festivals of theater schools in Ljubljana (Yugoslavia), puppet theater schools in Charleville (France) and Wroclaw (Poland), international festival diploma performances of theater schools “Podium” (Moscow) and many others.

The institute's interregional and international contacts are diverse. At the correspondence and evening department of the university, actors from the famous variety theater “KVN-DSU” (Ukraine) and a Lithuanian course for actors and puppet theater directors were educated.

Since 2000, the Yaroslavl Theater School, together with the Russian State Academic Drama Theater named after F. G. Volkov, has been holding a festival of graduation performances from theater schools in Russia, and also organizing a youth theater exchange “The Future of Theatrical Russia” within the framework of the festival.

In 2001, the Yaroslavl State Theater Institute became a Laureate of the All-Russian competition “Window to Russia” held by the newspaper Culture. The work of the university staff was awarded by the Congress of Russian Intelligentsia with a commemorative medal named after. D. S. Likhacheva.
