The Shchukin School is a higher theatrical educational institution, which only every hundredth entrant enters. For those who won this colossal competition, the trials are just beginning. Every year, Freshman Day is held here, where senior students demonstrate to freshmen what they will experience over the next four years. Who ran the Shchukin school a hundred years ago? Why is this institution allowed to teach only its graduates? How to enter one of the most prestigious in Russia?

Let's study!

On October 23, 2014, the Shchukin School celebrated its centenary. The first years of the existence of this educational institution fell on a difficult time for Russia. It was created in 1914. The founder - Yevgeny Vakhtangov - is a student of Stanislavsky, the very one who chronically did not believe in acting. According to legend, the former ward of the famous theatrical reformer uttered a significant phrase: “Let's study!” It was from her that the Shchukin Theater School began its existence.

Zahava

Then the educational institution was just a small theater studio. But it was not in vain that the great Stanislavsky assured that no one could teach according to his system better than Yevgeny Vakhtangov. The first productions brought great fame among Moscow theatergoers. In 1922, the audience saw the famous production of "Princess Turandot". But the founder of the studio did not live to see the premiere. And the next leader was Boris Zakhava. The talented actor and director headed the Shchukin Theater School, albeit intermittently, but for almost half a century. It was he who laid down the basic principles of teaching, which teachers are guided by within the walls of the legendary university today.

Boris Shchukin and features of teaching

Only those who were once its students and successfully completed their studies can teach at this university. The leaders are sure that this is the only and main way to keep the theater school, which the Shchukin school is famous for, in a canonical form. By the way, the well-known name was given to this institution only in 1939. Boris Shchukin is one of the favorite students of the founder of the studio. This man is one of the brightest representatives of the Soviet realistic school. He has worked in theater for over twenty years. Shchukin is also known for being one of the first actors who were able to embody the image of Lenin on stage. There is an opinion that it was thanks to these merits that the school was named after him.

Achievements

The Shchukin School was transformed into an institute in 2002. Over the hundred years of its existence, the educational institution has produced such an impressive galaxy of talented actors that it is rightfully considered a champion among other Russian theater universities. People call him "Pike". The big competition for the year is stable.

Famous Alumni

From the walls of this institute came such celebrities as Yuri Lyubimov, Andrei Mironov, Vladimir Etush, Nikita Mikhalkov. Among more younger generation it should be noted Sergei Makovetsky, Maxim Averin. Of course, this is not a complete list.

The duties of the artistic director, as you know, are performed by Vladimir Etush. Rector of the Institute - Evgeny Knyazev.

Directing department

Until the end of the fifties, only those who dreamed of acting glory sought to enter the Shchukin School. This university did not produce other specialists. In 1959, future directors were also trained here. However, the form of education at the directing department is only part-time. The competition for it is not so severe - only three people per place. The rules by which the selection committee works are such that yesterday's schoolboy who dreams of the laurels of Zakharov and Meyerhold cannot enter the directing department at the Shchukinskoye school. Those who have behind their backs the professional practice of a theater director are accepted here.

People from all over the country come to the directing department to study, and not at all in order to conquer the capital. After all, applicants are expected in their native theaters. And it is in their homeland that students will subsequently have to deliver their theses.

Acting department

Future directors stay within the walls of the institute for no more than two months a year, which cannot be said about those who study acting here. For future artists, in addition to the core discipline, it is planned to study the following subjects:

  • plastic expressiveness;
  • musical expressiveness;
  • scenic speech.

The acting department also has a department of history and philosophy.

Admission rules

The exam in the specialty is held in three stages:

  1. Reading Krylov's fables, two or three poems and an excerpt from prose.
  2. Checking music, rhythm and voice data.
  3. Execution of a small stage sketch.

If the applicant passed the exam in the specialty, he is allowed to pass the Russian language and literature (in writing), as well as a colloquium, which aims to identify the level of knowledge in the field of culture, art, literature and national history.

The institute has preparatory courses. Admission to them is carried out after listening, on which it is necessary to read an excerpt from a prose work, a poem or a fable. Training in the preparatory courses is held on weekends and consists of seventy-two

Educational theater

During the training, students present their first works to the audience. The educational theater of the Shchukin School is a full-fledged unit, which employs a whole team of professionals. Students produce their diploma works together with directors-teachers. For seventy years, the educational theater of the Shchukin School has kept the traditions that were laid down by the students of the founder of this legendary university. The diploma work reveals the creative individuality of each student. Inveterate theater-goers of Moscow have the opportunity to see the performances of talented and young actors. Such is the tradition that the Shchukin School has not changed throughout almost its entire existence.

Performances with the participation of students were more than once a resounding success. The history of the institute knows cases when, in order to get to view one of the theses, Muscovites stood in long lines at the box office for hours.

The repertoire of the educational theater is updated annually. On the educational stage, plays based on the works of both Russian and foreign authors are staged. Among them - "Monsieur de Molière" (based on the novel by Mikhail Bulgakov), "Poverty is not a vice" (A.N. Ostrovsky), "Farewell to Matera" (based on the novel by Valentin Rasputin).

How to get there?

In the heart of the capital is the Shchukin School. The address of this educational institution is Bolshoy Nikolopeskovsky lane, 15, building 1. On foot from the Arbatskaya metro station, you can walk within ten to fifteen minutes.

History of the Vakhtangov school
The history of the Vakhtangov school - the Higher Theater School, and now the Boris Shchukin Theater Institute - has been around for almost nine decades.
In November 1913, a group of Moscow students organized an amateur theater studio and invited a young actor of the Moscow Art Theater, a student of Stanislavsky, the future great Russian director Yevgeny Bagrationovich Vakhtangov, as the head.
The studios offered Vakhtangov a performance based on B. Zaitsev's play "The Lanins' Manor". The premiere took place in the spring of 1914 and ended in failure. "Now let's study!" Vakhtangov said. And on October 23, 1914, Vakhtangov held the first lesson with the students according to the Stanislavsky system. This day is considered the School's birthday.
The studio has always been both a school and an experimental laboratory.
In the spring of 1917, after a successful display of student works, the "Mansurovskaya" studio (named after one of the Moscow lanes on the Arbat, where it was located) received its first name - "E.B. Vakhtangov's Moscow Drama Studio". In 1920, it was renamed the III Studio of the Moscow Art Theater, and in 1926 - the Theater. Yevgeny Vakhtangov with a permanent theater school. In 1932, the school became a special secondary theatrical educational institution. In 1939, it was named after the great Russian actor, Vakhtangov's favorite student Boris Shchukin, and in 1945 it was given the status of a higher educational institution. Since that time, it has been known as the Higher Theater School (since 2002 - the Boris Shchukin Theater Institute) at the State Academic Theater them. Evgeny Vakhtangov.
The authority of the teachers of the Institute is very high both in our country and in the world. Suffice it to recall that the Vakhtangov methodology of educating an actor had a huge impact on the pedagogy of the great Mikhail Chekhov.
The Vakhtangov school is not just one of the theater institutes, but the bearer and custodian of theatrical culture, its best achievements and traditions.
The teaching staff of the Institute is formed only from graduates who pass Vakhtangov's testaments from generation to generation, and the principles of the school - from hand to hand. The permanent head of the school from 1922 to 1976 was a student of Vakhtangov, a student of the first set, an outstanding Russian actor and director Boris Zakhava. current Artistic director Institute - People's Artist of the USSR, Vakhtangov, famous theater and film actor, Professor V.A. Etush served as rector for 16 years (from 1986 to 2002). Since June 2002, the rector of the Institute is the People's Artist of the Russian Federation, the leading actor of the Evg.Vakhtangov Theatre, Professor E.V. Knyazev.
The school is rightly proud of its graduates. Among them are many outstanding actors. Russian theater and cinema, whose work has already become history. These are B. Shchukin, Ts. Mansurova, R. Simonov, B. Zakhava, A. Orochko, I. Tolchanov, V. Kuza, O. Basov, V. Yakhontov, A. Goryunov, V. Maretskaya, A. Gribov, A .Stepanova, D. Zhuravlev, N. Gritsenko and many others. M. Ulyanov, Yu. .Maksakova, I.Kupchenko, M.Derzhavin, V.Shalevich, E.Knyazev, S.Makovetsky, M.Sukhanov, E.Simonova, O.Barnet, I.Ulyanova, N.Usatova… This list is constantly updated. There are theaters, the cast of which is almost entirely formed from the "Vakhtangov". This is primarily the Theater. Evg. Vakhtangov, as well as the Taganka Theater under the direction of Yu. Lyubimov. There are many graduates of the School in the troupe of the Lenkom Theater under the direction of M. Zakharov, in the Theater of Satire and in Sovremennik.
Without Vakhtangov actors it is impossible to imagine the work of such outstanding masters of Russian cinema as I. Pyryev, G. Aleksandrov, Y. Raizman, M. Kalatozov and others. Among the most famous actors of the national cinema are "Shchukins" O. Strizhenov, T. Samoilova, R. Bykov, V. Livanov, A. Mironov, A. Kaidanovsky, L. Filatov, N. Gundareva, L. Chursina, Y. Nazarov, L. Zaitseva, N. Ruslanova, N. Varley, A. Zbruev, N. Burlyaev, I. Metlitskaya, Yu. Bogatyrev, N. Volkov, L. Yarmolnik, V. Proskurin, L. Borisov, E. Koreneva, A. Tashkov, Yu.Belyaev, A.Belyavsky, A.Porohovshchikov, E.Gerasimov, A.Sokolov, S.Zhigunov and others.
Many graduates of the institute became widely known thanks to television - A. Lysenkov, P. Lyubimtsev, A. Gordon, M. Borisov, K. Strizh, A. Goldanskaya, D. Maryanov, S. Ursulyak, M. Shirvindt, Y. Arlozorov, A. .Semchev, O.Budina, E.Lanskaya, L.Velezheva, M.Poroshina and many others.
The Vakhtangov school gave the Russian stage famous directors- N. Gorchakova, E. Simonov, Yu. Lyubimov, A. Remizov, V. Fokin, A. Vilkina, L. Trushkin, A. Zhitinkin. The famous Yuri Zavadsky made his first directorial and pedagogical experiments within its walls. She brought up the great Ruben Simonov, to whom the Vakhtanogov Theater owes the most brilliant era of its existence.
The school helped and continues to help the birth of new theater studios and groups. This is, first of all, the theater of Yuri Lyubimov on Taganka, which arose from the graduation performance " kind person from Sezuan" by B. Brecht; the Moldavian youth theater "Luceaferul" in Chisinau; the theater-studio named after R.N. Simonov in Moscow; the theater "Sovremennik" in Ingushetia; the studio "Scientific Monkey" in Moscow and others.

History of the Theater Institute named after B. Shchukin
October 23, 1914 is considered the birthday of the Boris Shchukin Theater Institute. On this day (October 10, according to the old style), Yevgeny Vakhtangov gave his first lecture on the system of K.S. Stanislavsky to the students of the Commercial Institute who gathered around him. From that day history began. But there was also a backstory.
Evgeny Bogrationovich Vakhtangov (1883 - 1922), a student of K.S. Stanislavsky and L.A. Sulerzhitsky, an employee of the Moscow Art Theater and a student of the First Studio of the Moscow Art Theater (1912), staged his first professional performance based on the play by G. Hauptmann "Feast of Peace" in the Studio in the fall 1913. In this production, he expressed his attitude to the world and the theater. But his teachers, seeing in him only a student, and not an independent creative person, intervened in the production: they broke it and corrected it. Vakhtangov in creative personality developed very quickly. By 1911 he was thinking independently and freely. Having got acquainted with the work of Stanislavsky on the system, he wrote down: “I want to form a Studio where we would study. The principle is to achieve everything yourself. Leader is everything. Check system K.S. on themselves. Accept or reject it. Correct, supplement, or remove lies. (Vakhtangov. Collection of materials, M.VTO, 1984, p. 88).
The desire to test the discoveries of the Teacher, the dependent position in the theater and the First Studio forced Vakhtangov to look for opportunities to organize his own studio. The meeting with the students of the Commercial Institute took place in the deep autumn of 1913 against the will of Vakhtangov. They themselves chose and found him, offering to lead their amateur circle and put on a play. Vakhtangov agreed. The meeting took place on December 23, 1913 at the apartment rented by the Semyonov sisters on the Arbat. Vakhtangov came solemnly, festively dressed, even embarrassed the future students with his appearance. Vakhtangov began the meeting by declaring his allegiance to K.S. Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theater, and called the dissemination of the Stanislavsky system a task.
At the very first meeting, we agreed on staging B. Zaitsev's play "The Lanins' Manor". For March 1914, the premises of the Hunting Club were rented, where they were going to play a play.
Vakhtangov immediately set to work, but, realizing that amateurs had no experience, he began to practice exercises with them according to the system. Classes lasted two and a half months. The performance took place on March 26. The performers played their parts in rapture, but their enthusiasm did not reach the audience through the ramp. Vakhtangov ran backstage and shouted to them: “Louder! Louder! - they didn't hear him. After the performance, he said: “So we failed!” But even then they did not believe him. Went to a restaurant to celebrate the premiere. In the restaurant, the artist of the performance Yu. Romanenko suggested that everyone join hands and form a chain. “Now let’s be silent for a minute, and let this chain forever connect us with each other in art” (Chronicle of the School, vol. 1, p. 8). Vakhtangov invited amateur students to start learning the art of theater. To do this, it was necessary to find a place where one could work. With this, they parted ways until the fall. But when Vakhtangov arrived at the theatre, he was met with an angry denunciation of K.S. Stanislavsky, who had received information from the newspapers about the failure of Vakhtangov's work. He forbade Vakhtangov to work outside the walls of the Moscow Art Theater and his studio.
And yet, on October 23, 1914, the first lesson of the new studio took place. It was called at different times: "Student's Studio", "Mansurov's Studio" (at the location of Mansurovsky lane 3). "Vakhtangov's Studio". But she worked secretly so that Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theater did not know about her.
Vakhtangov built the House. The Studios did everything with their own hands, since Vakhtangov believed that the House becomes yours only when you drive at least one nail into its walls.
Studying the Stanislavsky system, Vakhtangov changed the order of the elements of the system, suggesting a path from simple to complex: from attention to the image. But each subsequent element contained all the previous ones. When creating an image, all elements of the system should have been used. They did exercises, sketches, excerpts, improvisations, independent work. Showed to selected viewers Performing evenings. And in 1916 Vakhtangov brought the first play to the studio. It was the "Miracle of St. Anthony" by M. Maeterlinck. The play was satirical, but Vakhtangov suggested that it be staged as a psychological drama. It was natural, because the studio members were not yet ready-made actors; in mastering the image, they followed the formula of Stanislavsky "I am in the assumed circumstances." Therefore, Vakhtangov demanded that they justify the behavior of the embodied image. The performance was shown in 1918, and it was actually graduation for the first group of students.
The first students were students of the Commercial Institute, including B.E.Zakhava, B.I.Vershilov, K.G.Semenova, E.A.Aleeva, L.A.Volkov. Gradually new students came to the Studio: P. G. Antokolsky, Yu. A. Zavadsky, V. K. Lvova, A. I. Remizova, L. M. Shikhmatov. In January 1920, B.V. Shchukin and Ts.L. Vollerstein (who took the pseudonym Mansurova). Everyone who wanted to become a studio member first went through an interview, which determined whether he could become a studio member according to his moral and intellectual level. And only after that the applicant was examined. Vakhtangov, building a theater and wanting to have a permanent school with him, looked closely at the students and determined which of them would be a teacher, who would be a director. The main thing was to develop independence in students.
In 1919, Vakhtangov underwent two stomach surgeries. They did not give results - cancer developed. Wanting to save the studio, Vakhtangov turned to his teachers at the Moscow Art Theater and asked to take his studio among the studios of the Moscow Art Theater. In the fall of 1920, the Vakhtangov Studio became the Third Studio of the Moscow Art Theater. Having transferred to the Academic Department, the studio received its own building on the Arbat, a small, dilapidated Berg mansion, which the studio members turned into a theater with their own hands. On November 13, 1921, the theater opened with the play “The Miracle of St. Anthony” by M. Maeterlinck, already in a new, satirical solution. For the theater of the Third Studio, the Moscow Art Theater staged Vakhtangov and his famous "Princess Turandot" by K. Gozzi, in which the direction of the Vakhtangov theater was most clearly expressed. He himself calls it "fantastic realism." Staged in the tradition of the theater of commedia del Arte, "Princess Turandot" struck Moscow in 1922 with its theatricality, freedom of acting, the imagination of the director and artist (I. Nivinsky). "Princess Turandot" turned out to be Vakhtangov's last performance. On May 29, 1922, he died. The Studians were left without a leader and had to build the theater, which their leader aspired to, alone. The studios managed to defend their independence, not to lose buildings, not to destroy the existing school inside the studio, and in 1926 to receive the status State Theater named after Evgeny Vakhtangov.
For many years, until 1937, a small Vakhtangov school existed inside the theater. Future actors were admitted to the school on the basis of their need for the theater. Admission to school meant admission to the theatre. They studied and worked in theater performances right away, from the first year. And the teachers were the students of Vakhtangov: B. Zakhava, V. Lvova, A. Remizova, L. Shikhmatov, R. Simonov ...
In 1925, B.E. Zakhava (1896 - 1976) was placed at the head of the school, who led the school until his death.
In 1937, the school moved to a newly built building on B. Nikolopeskovsky lane 12a, and separated from the theater. She was on the rights of a technical school, but already with a four-year term of study. Artists released from school traveled to different theaters of the country. Boris Vasilyevich Shchukin (1894-1939), a brilliant artist of the Vakhtangov school, teacher, director, died in 1939. In his memory, in the same year, the school was named after B.V. Shchukin. In 1945, the school was equated with the Higher Educational Institutions, retaining the old name. Since 1953, target courses began to study at the school - groups of students from national republics, who, in most cases, become the founders of new theaters. The tradition of national teams is preserved to this day. Now two Korean and Gypsy studios study at the Institute. In 1964, from the graduation performance "The Good Man from Sezuan" by B. Brecht, the current Taganka Theater was formed, headed by Yu.P. Lyubimov, a graduate of the school, an actor of the theater. Vakhtangov and a school teacher. In 1959, a correspondence director's department was created, which produced many famous directors.
After the death of B.E. Zakhava, the school was run by an official from the Ministry for a decade. He morally and artistically failed to manage such a complex organism as a school. And in 1987, People's Artist of the USSR V.A. Etush was unanimously elected to the post of Rector. At the moment he is the Artistic Director of the Institute. Under Rector Etush, the school entered the international arena: students and teachers began to travel with their work to different countries of the world, to conduct classes in schools different countries. A special fund "Vakhtangov 12a" was also organized, which always supports the school in difficult times.
In 2002, the school was renamed the Boris Shchukin Theater Institute.
Graduation performances are held in the educational theater every year from autumn to spring, and role performers often receive prestigious awards for the best performance. M. Aronova, N. Shvets, D. Vysotsky were awarded such prizes in different years. For a number of years, the Institute's performances have received the first prizes at the festival of student performances in Brno (Czech Republic).
