Official biography

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 young actor Moscow Art Theater, a student of Stanislavsky, the future great Russian director Evgeny Bagrationovich Vakhtangov.

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. Evgeny Vakhtangov with a theater school permanently attached to him. 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. Evgeny Vakhtangov.

The Vakhtangov School is not just one of the theatrical institutions, but the bearer and custodian of theatrical culture, its best achievements and traditions.

Our graduates teach acting in many theater schools in Russia. Professors and teachers of the Institute constantly travel for consultations, conduct seminars and master classes in large and small theater centers of the country, and in last years- and abroad.

The teaching staff of the Institute is formed only from our 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. The current Artistic Director of the 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.

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 domestic cinema as I. Pyryev, G. Aleksandrov, Y. Raizman, M. Kalatozov and others.

Unofficial biography

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 the World" in the Studio in the autumn of 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 face, interfered with the production: they broke and corrected. Vakhtangov, on the other hand, developed very quickly into a creative person. 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. 8.

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. But when Vakhtangov came to the theatre, he was met with an angry scolding by K.S.

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 in terms of 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 will call him 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 the building, not to destroy the existing school inside the studio, and in 1926 receive the status of the State Theater named after Yevgeny Vakhtangov.

For many years, until 1937, the small Vakhtangov school existed inside the theatre. 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 have begun 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 he was unanimously elected to the post of Rector National artist USSR V.A.Etush.V this 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, and in 2003 a new rector was elected - People's Artist of Russia Evgeny Vladimirovich Knyazev. With youthful enthusiasm, the new Rector decided to return the Institute to the Vakhtangov traditions. Started by completely transforming appearance institute. Having carried out a major overhaul, saturating the building with equipment and new furniture, the Rector raised the prestige of the institute.

Every year from autumn to spring graduation performances are held in the educational theater, and role performers often receive prestigious awards for 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).
