They say that in order for one actor to succeed, it is necessary that a thousand remain in obscurity. And of course, every applicant who comes to enter the theater institute thinks that he is the very nugget. Every year, thousands of people crowd around a small building on Weiner, 2, dreaming of testing their strength. It is worth figuring out what awaits them when they enter the Yekaterinburg State Theater Institute (EGTI), as well as after graduating from this educational institution.
A bit of history
In the Urals for a long time they did not seek to open creative universities. According to historical data, even the capital of the region, Yekaterinburg, was originally built as a factory city. EGTI (Yekaterinburg State Theater Institute) began to take shape at the end of the Second World War. Then it was a college, the university became an institute in 1985.
SVladimir Motyl, Anatoly Solonitsyn collaborated at the creative institute in their time. Director Dmitry Astrakhan and actress Olga Drozdova began their careers there. The directing department was graduated from the great theatrical figure - Nikolai Kolyada. EGTI released famous playwrights Oleg Bogaev and Vasily Sigarev.
Who should I study?
Remarkably, this is the only higher educational theater institution in the Urals. It is often put on a par with Moscow and St. Petersburg universities.
Yearly talented youth can try to enter the Yekaterinburg State Theater Institute. Faculties for admission:
- acting art;
- literary work (poets, prose writers, playwrights);
- directing theater;
- theatrical producers (formerly theater scholars).
To enroll, you need to write an application addressed to the rector, provide originals and copies of your passport and certificate (diploma), SNILS, medical insurance policy, USE results, as well as a photo 34 (8 pieces).
In addition, you need to prepare for the entrance exams, as well as be patient. As a rule, the majority of applicants fail the creative competition every year.
Everyone dreams of being artists
Least lucky applicants who dream of becoming great artists. Talented youth come from all over the Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk, Tyumen, Kurgan, Khanty-Mansiysk regions to enterYekaterinburg State Theater Institute (EGTI). Reviews show that units end up coming in.
This is not surprising, usually a university is ready to accept only 20-30 people per year on a budgetary basis. Up to 50 people per contract, 20-30 students per correspondence department. Masters give preference to young men under 25 years old. By the way, girls over 20 years old are rarely taken to full-time education.
Required for admission is the EGTI creative competition. Yekaterinburg State Theater Institute considers only those applicants who are ready:
- tell a poem, a fable, a prose monologue;
- sing;
- dance.
And do it better than hundreds of competitors. However, in this regard, the Ural university does not differ from the capital ones.
For those who do not dream about the stage, but want to try themselves as an actor, EGTI provides an opportunity to go through the "Hollywood Program". That is, a short training in acting skills for everyone. In addition, the institute has preparatory courses.
Who is the director?
Having a secondary or higher profile education, you can enter the directing department at the Yekaterinburg State Theater Institute. EGTI, of course, as an exception, accepts graduates of non-creative universities for this speci alty. But he is extremely distrustful of young applicants. It is believed that only a person with a certain life experience can be a director.
Whatmust do future student:
- pass a creative competition similar to acting;
- put on a little scene;
- make an analysis of a classic piece;
- pass an interview.
At the interview, a potential director shows how deeply he knows his chosen profession.
Faculty of Directing YSTI graduated from the famous playwright and director Nikolai Vladimirovich Kolyada. His famous private theater, the Kolyada Theater, operates in Yekaterinburg. In addition, he tours Russia and Europe with the theater troupe.
Dramaturgy and writers
By the way, it is Nikolai Kolyada who conducts classes at the faculty with literary workers. Before him, there was no such speci alty at the institute. The playwright, who has written more than 100 plays, which are still staged all over the world, annually recruits 5-10 future writers to his workshop. At the same time, the poet and prose writer Yury Viktorovich Kazarin is recruiting about the same number of students into his studio.
To get a writing speci alty, you need:
- Submit creative work (from 24 pages of prose, poetry or drama).
- Pass an interview with the master.
Even in their student years, such famous playwrights as Sigarev Vasily and Bogaev Oleg received the well-known literary award - "Antibooker". Sigarev's films are loved by the audience ("Top", "To Live", "Country of OZ"). And his wife Yana Troyanova (studied at EGTI, but notgraduated from high school) is filming in the series "Olga" on TNT.
In many theaters in Russia and abroad, plays by Yaroslava Pulinovich, Ekaterina Vasilyeva and Anna Baturina are staged. All of them graduated from the Yekaterinburg State Theater Institute. EGTI is looking for new talent every year.
Are there any jobs after EGTI?
During their studies, students can show their creativity in the Educational Theater. However, like most graduates of creative universities, young talents should be prepared for the fact that it will be extremely difficult to find a job after graduation.
Perhaps the theatrical producers who graduated from YEGTI will be the most in demand. The opinions of students in this regard differ. Some are sure that after the institute they are expected in the leading theaters of the capital. Others look at things more objectively and are ready to work in private theaters, at children's matinees, host weddings and corporate parties.
However, many are tempted by the prospect of entering the Yekaterinburg State Theater Institute. EGTI provides its students with the opportunity to live in a comfortable hostel in the center of the Ural capital. Moreover, not far from two educational buildings of the university.
In October this year, the leadership changed at the institute. Former rector Vladimir Babenko turned 70 years old, and according to the current law, he could no longer hold this position. He was replaced by art critic and culturologist Anna Glukhonyuk. Possibly at schoolchange will begin.
