After a long debate with the Ministry and Rospotrebnadzor theatrical universities have the right to listen to the students live. GITIS gathered at the walls of educational theatre and the new building in New Cheryomushki about two hundred young people. But without the usual hanging out with guitars and songs – electronic record, strict distance, masks, gloves and disinfection only, to which only she can touch the applicant. Our reporter visited the face-to-face auditions and appreciated the seriousness of the exam in unusual circumstances.
For those wishing to enter the theatre of the tests begin with the live auditions. Usually it is three rounds, to which are added the results of the exam. This year the rules have changed – head stages, only two, chances to get an audition reduced significantly.
to receive an invitation, you need to register through an online form on the website of the University. Or rather, time to sign up. Free Windows on acting and variety departments dismantled in 30 seconds, and in the Director’s workshop of Yuri Butusova – 5 seconds. However, for less advanced Internet users, there is a telephone line. But it will open later. No live lists is not provided.
When I went to the new building of GITIS, was four in the afternoon – the height of the auditions. But no crowds, songs with guitar accompaniment and lively discussions. At the front door sit two guys and four girls. Guitar tucked away in the covers. Young people are very focused. Faces masks on hand – gloves. In measures the temperature of the thermometer a pistol. I got a 36.6. You can go further.
“Excuse me,” bursts into a guy from the street. – I measure again the temperature, please. Just for itself.
the Thermometer shows 37,0. Instructions require the University to double-check the temperature on the mercury thermometer, and then decide whether to admit the applicant to examination or to send home.
the Entry is exactly a day. 90 the acting Department, 80 pop. But the number of seats varies from opportunities admissions. Today the guys listening to a young Dean of the faculty of the Taras Belousov. The selection mechanism works with minimum error. A ten hour, five-minute break, the next ten.
– it is Difficult for everyone: teachers, guidance… of Course it’s a risk. Hopefully, we can. We were very afraid of the crowd, but the students showed great awareness, says Beloussov in a small break.
Assistant takes the “shoot” in the backyard, so as not to create a crowd. 10 seconds calls two names of the lucky ones and returned to the hall to take the next group in the audience. Today is a gym with bleachers and plenty of space to comply with various distances.
the Boys seated on the front row of 2-3 seats otherg from each other and are urged not to remove protection. The teacher is sitting about 10 meters away from them. Special glass in front of him. And mask and gloves.
Schema of the auditions is simple. Committee member name calling, applicant is suitable to prepared for him a chair, removes unnecessary, it seems, reads and sings. In the audience, even a piano, if you need to accompany yourself. But just bare fingers to touch the keys, as they must disinfect before the next students. And this is the Dean of the faculty. “Well, what? We have different professions to learn,” jokes Taras Dmitriyevich.
I Must say, no matter how strange it may seem what is happening guys it seems a little embarrassing. Kind of the first etude on the theme “I proposed (coronavirus) circumstances.” Moreover, during listening there can be new problems.
– Where’s your temperament? Porpoise with me! – requires Belousov at the blonde girl, reading Vysotsky. – Come at me! In screen!
She changes the pace, raising his voice. Acoustics carries it to the gym until a short “thank you” does not interrupt sonorous flight.
– I always tell the guys: “No matter how you read it”. A dramatic actor of theater and cinema – it’s not about reading. It’s about nature, talent, personality. Sometimes you have to explain. There are applicants who teach prose 20, 30, fables, and confused? Just words. It’s not a competition for the best memory, says Belousov after another listened to dozens.
You often ask them why they go to the artists.
– I’m interested in the response. This is a difficult question actually. Because the person who is willing to suffer, to hurt, to work, to plow, to clearly formulate the answer. Perhaps in the beginning it will be difficult to find the words. But he goes for something more than the glitter of the spotlight, the applause and the energy exchange with the audience. But many I it and respond. During the auditions I want to carry out career guidance. Because it is not a holiday, but hard work.
this passed dozens of four – a rarity on the selection. “I come for the second time. Prior to that he studied in PFUR at the dentist. Took the documents and came here. Parents, of course, disagreed in the beginning. But we discussed it, and they blessed me,” says 22-year-old Alexander Bolshakov, the last to the second round.
Already at the exit, I caught a young man, who only have exam.
– have You spoken with the master? And how? Gone? ‘he asks.
– No, I’m a journalist. I will write about it, confused I say.
– AAA… you Know, I really like to give interviews. Not that I often do… Just wondering. Can you wait, and now I tune? – barely manages to say, when it formed the top ten sending��t in the audience.
