The third season of the Moscow Theatre Festival-Competition of School Theatres “Live Stage” has begun in the capital. More than 20 thousand students from schools and colleges of the city will take part in it. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
“Moscow education is not only fundamental sciences, but also comprehensive creative development. Theater workshops operate on the basis of the capital’s schools, colleges and centers of additional education, where children, under the mentorship of famous directors and actors, participate in acting master classes and master stage professions. Theater is not just art, but first and foremost a space for intellectual experimentation. It trains the flexibility of thinking, imagination, concentration. Therefore, we are pleased to open a new season of the large-scale theater project of the capital’s schools “Live Stage”. This is a serious festival, where children not only act, but can also declare themselves on the stage of Moscow theaters, create colorful scenery, and get advice from professionals. The competition is very popular among young Muscovites; over 20 thousand schoolchildren are taking part in it in the new season – 30 percent more than last year,” noted Anastasia Rakova.
The festival is being held for the third time. As part of the project, outstanding Russian actors and directors become mentors to young Muscovites throughout the year. They help them select a repertoire, participate in rehearsals, promote the development of a creative association and prepare the children for the big stage.
Future artists will present their productions in two traditional categories: “Dramatic Performance”, “Musical Performance” and this year’s new categories: “Theatrical Olympus” and “Historical Memory”.
For several years, “Theatre Olympus” was a separate competition, but last year it became one of the nominations of the “Live Stage” project. Groups that organize small-scale performances – short productions with a small number of actors – can take part in it. The best will receive grant support.
The nomination “Historical Memory” is dedicated to significant events and outstanding personalities of different eras. Participants will prepare performances based on reliable facts. The children will have to conduct research and use archival documents in organizing the production.
Last year, 30 best productions reached the finals, which were watched by more than seven thousand spectators in April. There are several categories in the Dramatic Performance nomination. In one of them, School Melpomene, the winner was the pedagogical theater of teenagers of Academic School No. 1534 with the production Romeo and Juliet, and the Country of Buffoonery studio of School No. 1353 named after General D. F. Alekseev with the fairy tale The Little Humpbacked Horse. The first place in the Musical Performance nomination was won by the Sounds of Music musical studio of the Sinegoriya extracurricular activities center.
In the category “Blessed Thalia”, the victory went to the children’s theater “Gallagrant” of the children’s creativity center “Sviblovo”. In second place was the theater “Ostrov trekuri” of school No. 45 named after L.I. Milgram, in third place was the puppet theater studio “Prevrashchenie” of school No. 1249. Separately, the jury awarded special prizes for the achievements of the participants, including a careful attitude to family values, a bright debut, the power of artistic words, the most daring idea and an original adaptation of a work. The productions were presented on the stages of the Boris Shchukin Theater Institute, the Children’s Musical Theater of the Young Actor, the Moscow New Drama Theater, the Palace on the Yauza and the Shchukino Culture and Art Center.
