International Theatre Acoustic School - Laboratory under the  direction of Viktor Ryzhakov  launched in Yerevan

ArmInfo.The International Theatre Acoustic School - Laboratory (ITAS) will be held in Yerevan  from October 28 to November 5. Young theatre artists from Armenia, Russia, Georgia and Uzbekistan will participate in the event.

The International Theatre Acoustic School is headed by the renowned  Russian director and professor of the Moscow Art Theatre School  Viktor Ryzhakov. Over the course of 9 days, the master, along with  assistant coaches in various theatre directions, will work with 40  young theatre artists from four republics.  Throughout this process,  a performance will be created that reflects the cultures of  participating countries.  "Everything that occurs here allows us to  believe that art and theater are realms of freedom, where we can  exchange the values that past generations have created.  In this  space, we are energized, which is essential for the existence of the  theater. Only through the integration of cultures can we become  enriched and move closer to the moment when we can communicate freely  through the language of art, regardless of the boundaries that the  challenging circumstances of this world may impose," noted Viktor  Ryzhakov.

On the Armenian side, the Union of Theater Workers of Armenia (UTW)  acts as a co-organizer of the Theater School, with the Yerevan State  Theater of Musical Comedy named after A. Paronyan as their partner.

The Chairman of the Union of Theater Workers of Armenia, Hakob  Kazanchyan, noted that UTW places great importance on the numerous  and diverse educational programs offered by the International  Confederation of Theater Unions for young theater artists from the  CIS countries and Georgia.  The main venues for hosting MTASH classes  are the Yerevan State Theater of Musical Comedy named after A.  Paronyan (Big and Small Stage, rehearsal halls), as well as the  Chamber Stage at UTW.  Admission is free for students of the Yerevan  State Institute of Theatre and Cinema and young theatre- goers who  wish to observe the work process,

The theatre school-laboratory is a new project of the Moscow  International Confederation of Theatre Unions. It is being  implemented with the support of the International Fund for  Humanitarian Cooperation of the CIS countries and is a logical  continuation of the international director's laboratories,  that have  been implemented for 25 years by the MKTS and the Moscow  International Theatre Festival named after Chekhov.
