So, let's say you are an applicant and flasks, beakers, test tubes, along with numbers and logarithms, do not appeal to you. What are you to do and where to go? Oh, you must have heard about creative universities, the famous "Sliver" and SPbGATI.
Even if you are not an applicant, but a fully-fledged adult, then do not lie at least to yourself, and honestly admit that you are not at all averse to exchanging life and routine for your legitimate fifteen minutes of fame and applause from the public, at least once.
Creative trends in one way or another seduce everyone, because only here you can be an astronaut, a chemist, a writer, a spy with a fatal beauty, or the most fatal beauty five times a day, while remaining famous and loved. For some, this happens in childhood, after the first failed entrance exam, someone stops at the level of their companies and corporate competitions in production, but someone goes for life to where a normal person would never even think of, but namely, in art.
How is training in a theater university? Oh, very simple and difficult at the same time.
To get started, you must pass an entrance test. It takes place in several stages depending on the direction, but you will always read a fable, verse, prose of your choice, or everything in a row, and during the break you will talk about life with the selection committee. Be prepared that you may not be asked about art at all, and this will be normal.
What you will see on the entrants, in front of the selection committee, namely: memorizing the role, flying people, acting out scenes and other standing on their heads in the corridors - in a word, all this should in no way surprise or alarm you. If this happened, then write wasted - you have nothing to do here. But don’t be discouraged, you won’t be alone in this, because according to statistics, out of 30 people who entered the workshop (and this is the only way to learn directing and acting), only 10 people will reach the diploma, and even then in the best case.
This happens for the very reason that many of those who entered do not fully understand that the talent they have needs to be developed.
The master, that is, a person who has experience, passes it on to his students. He may ask to come on Saturday and even on Sunday. And not for an hour or two. And from morning to evening you will have classes with the master, and then also without him. Of course, not everyone can withstand such a pace purely physically. Try yourself seven days a week to play a chair, then the same!
Moreover, it should be understood that no one has canceled standard items such as stories with English, but there is one caveat - the display priority. At the end of each semester, students must bring their skills to the public and show them to the rest of the department; if something does not fit with the rehearsal schedule, and the English teacher "does not allow to create", then the whole course can arrange a riot for him and unanimously score on attending this subject. How to take it is another problem, but the show is above all. In fairness, it should be said that standard teachers understand this and for the most part do not bother students much; In extreme cases, you can negotiate through the master.
As you already understood, the course is called a workshop, because it is supervised by a master. This is very important and determines the further development of a young actor / director, which is why articles about famous people on Wikipedia sometimes say who was his master.
The five year course itself looks like this:
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ****** ****** ****** ******* ****** ***** ***** ***** ** *** ****** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
I course1 semester - installation. Students put sketches. It is here that chairs, socks, dumplings and other dandelions play. Here the foundation is set. In the future, it develops or not. Who immediately realized that it was not his - goes to mathematical engineers
2nd semester - circus. Students learn circus arts. In short, the same "Circus with Stars on the First", only without the stars and ORT. Juggling, clowning, illusions, parody of the circus. That's all. Many thought that it would be easier, but they could not stand the flickering of tennis balls and also left.
II course
3rd semester - fairy tales. Everyone chooses a short fairy tale for himself, or rather an excerpt from a well-known one, and puts it on. This is already more serious, but so that life doesn’t seem like honey so that no one runs away and goes to do it in a corner according to the principle “to each his own”, the course receives one fairy tale for everyone, which will be a general course and for which it is also necessary to allocate time, which, as you know, is always missing .
4 semester - stories. The same principle as with fairy tales, only there are fewer people on the course, and more workload. The only difference is that not everywhere they put a general course story, and the dramaturgy of everyone and everything should not be too serious.
III course
5th semester - musical. Briefly it looks like the previous work, only here you still need to sing (or at least hit the notes), learn the claviers and much more to "get" into the genre. If for some reason you haven't left the workshop yet, this is your last chance to do so.
6th semester - drama excerpt. In essence, this is the same story, but with more emphasis on the game and the dramatic component. Treason, murder, suicide, wasted years, betrayal of loved ones and the soul inside out, that's all. Everyone who wanted to - has already left, the rest, who did not cope, will be taken out of the stage with a massive heart attack, and so on.
IV course
7 and8 semesters - are preparation for the graduation general course performance, that is, to a full-fledged two-act action with an intermission of ten minutes to air the hall. Depending on the workshop and the direction of training (directing, acting, directing and producing, directing and acting), you can make such performances from one to several. It is clear that in two semesters to do such a trick and not throw back the hooves of utopia in its purest form, so in some courses they start doing this already from the fifth or sixth semester and sometimes continue on the fifth, in some workshops they usually put stories first, and then fairy tales, everywhere differently, but the first course is definitely unchanged. It is also true that a graduation course performance is an admission to the delivery of one's diploma.
V courseDiploma performance. Everything is simple here - each student submits his graduation performance, writes a work on it on a hundred sheets and receives a diploma. Or does not receive; but more often than not, he still gets it, because only those who are in the subject are left here.
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ****** ****** ****** ******* ****** ***** ***** ***** ***** ****** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
Agree, the difference from solving logarithms is that the result is unknown here, but this is the charm. Everything depends on you. In art, twice two is five and eight and sixteen at the same time. And sometimes the root of the minus first degree.
The theater is a voluntary dictatorship. Only in a theater university can they study until 22:00, the rector can issue a decree so that everyone after that is driven with a filthy broom, and students do not want to leave with go until 4 am (by the way, a real fact).
That's it. And you think that everything is simple: went out - played, put.
Next time I will tell you about it in more detail, I will start with how they pass theater exam. Believe me, Shakespeare never dreamed of such a thing.

Entrance tests to a creative university bear little resemblance to exams to an ordinary one. Sometimes they don’t even look at knowledge and the result in the USE, or look at it last, when all the main rounds (there can be a dozen of them) have been passed. It is more important to be able to convey an emotional mood, to express it in all available ways. Acting school-studio will help the future artist to become more expressive.
The power of a word
One of the most important characteristics of an actor is speech. It is primarily tested in creative universities. They may be asked to read prose or poetry for admission to the theater.
The school studies a lot of works by both Russian and foreign authors. It is necessary to choose one in order to maximize your gift as a reader. The main selection criterion is the emotional component. If the text does not cling to the soul, then you can not read it. Size doesn't really matter. It is important that there is a desire to infect others with the thoughts of the author of the work, that is, to experience the essence of the poem.
It is necessary to prepare several texts, they must have opposite content, be written by different poets. If one of the works is about love, then the other should carry a different meaning. This is the only way to show yourself from different angles and show your individuality. If the work is humorous, then the emphasis is on irony, if philosophical, then on reflection.
When reading a poem, you need to remember:
- it is necessary to pronounce it as if it were your own composition;
- it is important to observe the poetic rhythm;
- it is necessary to take sides in the work;
- when telling, one should show what thoughts the reader has;
- while reading, images should be born in the listeners;
- the poem should "take it to the quick";
- if it has ceased to cause a storm of emotions, something else is needed.
A good choice would be the works of the classics. It shows great taste and professionalism. You need to know by heart, because memory is the fitness of the artist to work on the stage. If it’s hard to remember a work, it’s worth considering whether the right choice of profession has been made.
Choreography
When choosing a dance for admission to the theater, it is highly advisable not to overdo it if you do not enter the circus variety department. Too complicated composition is not needed, as in a poem, first of all, the manifestation of emotions is important. It is necessary to show the viewer your understanding of the created image.
If possible, it is better to prepare more than one dance, although the direction can be anything, from folk to ballroom. Musical accompaniment is better than your own, but not the fact that it will be required. At the exam, they may be asked to perform to a different accompaniment. Do not constantly think that this is an exam. In the future profession, it will become daily. The most important thing is to feel the music, keep the rhythm and give the emotional component, even if the dance is very simple. By showing the nature of the dance, you will easily pass the test
Received what's next
The main difficulties will begin in the learning process. All loads are sustained by those who are selflessly devoted to the theater. Lectures, rehearsals, training, in irregular hours, the least that awaits the future artist.
If you are ready to devote yourself to the profession of an actor, then do not hesitate, you will definitely achieve your goal and will be in demand!
To enter the theater you need:
To know that having entered, you do not automatically become an artist and a star!
And
1. Want to enroll
2. Know what you are doing and dooming yourself.
3. Selflessly love this business and not imagine yourself in anything else.
4. Read carefully all the requirements and rules on the websites of the universities where you are going to enter
5. You need to try at once in all institutes.
6. Prepare the program a year before admission.
7. Work out at the institute courses or with a teacher who will help you choose the right program
8. Find out in advance about all tours and exams
9. Do not worry about the Unified State Examination. A passing score is enough. There you gain points through entrance exams.
It will take a lot of strength, health and perseverance.
In 2011 according to the results of admission:
in SHEPKE - minimum score 330 (for 3 introductory + USE)
in PIKE - min score 430 (4 entry + USE)

QUESTION ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF MY DAUGHTER ALICE
Entered VGIK and GITIS, studying at GITIS, Morozov's workshop. Budget.
People often ask how to understand your university or not. My opinion is this.
Well, in principle, you can calculate. You need to watch the performances of the Moscow Art Theater and understand if you want to play in them. Yes? Enter the Moscow Art Theater. See the Vakhtangov (Pike). Gitis does not have his own theater, so you need to watch the performances of the Master, who is gaining. VGIK rests on work in front of the camera, so after it it is difficult to get into the theater. Of course, this is not universal advice, but you can at least feel yours, not yours.
And my question is for those who want to do it.
Are you ready to study with such a schedule for every day (including Saturday)???
This is the schedule for one day of the 1st course
9.30 - 11.00 Foreign literature
11.05 - 12.35 Foreign theater
13.05 - 14.30 Mastery
14.35 - 16.00 Mastery
16.05 - 17.30 Mastery
17.35 - 19.00 Mastery
19.05 - 20.30 Mastery
20.35 - 22.00 Mastery
Many still asked if they would have time to earn extra money somewhere.)))))))))
Are you ready to wear chairs for six months, depict objects and actions. Learn to roll and stand on your ears?
The most difficult thing is etudes. Invent stories, show them. Learn now. Circumstances, goal, event (prevents achieving the goal) and the resolution of the situation.
about admission
1. teacher's article Filshtinsky
It is difficult to enter a theater university, there is always a big competition, even in the provincial ones, in my memory, there were 10-20 people per mast, and even in Moscow time ... It makes no sense to choose which one is better: this only reduces your chances of success. Apply to all that you manage to capture in one introductory campaign, you will choose at the end if you enter several at once. First, everyone tries out for Moscow universities. In some provincial universities, additional recruitment is specially made in August, so that those who have flown from the last tours in Moscow have time to enroll. The closest to Msk is Yaroslavsky.
As for the reading program, etc. Of course, if there is an opportunity to learn from sub-courses, this somewhat increases your chances of success. On the other hand, stories about people who came to the audition on the way to the store and were taken straight to the competition (this is the name of the last round of selection) are also not uncommon. First of all, such people take it by the fact that they treat the result lightly, do not bother, do not hold back, behave impudently and thus stand out against the background of candidates shaking and stuttering with excitement, who have dreamed of devoting themselves to art since childhood. However, my advice is not to go "on the fool". Firstly, the situations described above occur mainly with young men: there are many times fewer of them, for girls the competition is merciless. Secondly, even if you are generously gifted and made for the theater, in an audition situation you need to demonstrate this in a very short time, like in a commercial, so that the selector’s blurry eye of the day instantly lights up and sets you apart from the crowd. If you still have not come into contact with the theater in any way, then find yourself an experienced tutor (actor) who will tell you how to present yourself more profitably, which repertoire to choose (an excerpt, poems, fables, or whatever they are listening to now). Somewhere you may be asked to sing (be prepared for this), if you have any additional skills - musical, dancing, sports - prepare a short number that will demonstrate them favorably on occasion. But don't go in with your splits and somersaults until you're asked about them. It's annoying.
What else is in your power? Inform yourself about the masters taking courses in the year of your admission. Go (go) to graduation performances, there you will see who they recruited last time))) Estimate if you look like one of the students (this will tell you which "role" is more profitable for you to perform at the show). Often, masters consciously or unconsciously choose the same types and, for sentimental reasons, will at least pay attention to you if you remind them of someone from the last course. But this is poetry. By the way, many theater applicants do not enter the first, but the second and third time, which indicates the important role of experience in this matter. But do not forget that with age your chances decrease: at 20 - 21 years old you may be told that you are already "old".
And lastly, don't dwell on it. Entering the theater institute also means becoming a stage star. The competition in the acting environment is colossal, every year five Moscow universities graduate 20-30-40-50 people each, of which only a few get into good theaters. Plus, an endless stream of unemployed is also pouring from the provinces ... the provincial theater is a place for unmercenaries with strong nerves. Our cinema, sorry, is in a deplorable state, you are unlikely to get to Hollywood ... in short, think a few times whether it is worth it, but if the trumpet is calling, then go and try it. Studying at the theater institute is incredibly exciting. Such a fun and eventful student life will not be anywhere else (this is not for you to sit at a desk for five years). But keep in mind that you don’t have to relax much either. From the first courses, idlers are mercilessly expelled. Classes start in the morning and end in the evening. The course will become your family, skill and stage performance - your personal life. The theater university is a sect, an environment of fanatics. If you are ready for this - then good luck. And yes, it's worth it.
