On 2 October, the six-week InteRussia fellowship in theatre arts for young actors from BRICS+ countries came to a close at the New Stage of the GITIS Training Theatre. Participants immersed themselves in the key methods of the Russian theatre school, completed an intensive acting programme, and explored Moscow’s leading theatrical and cultural venues.
The highlight of the closing day was the final performance prepared under the guidance of GITIS teachers. This year the fellows worked on Anton Chekhov’s one-act play The Proposal, presenting fragments on stage in English and their national languages and interpreting the text through different theatrical genres and traditions.
What happened during the fellowship?
⭐️ Studied the Stanislavsky system and its influence on world theatre, as well as Meyerhold’s biomechanics
⭐️ Took intensive courses in acting technique, stage speech, stage movement, and play & role analysis
⭐️ Met with Sergei Bezrukov and Vladislav Miller, Chair of the Youth Council of the Union of Theatre Workers of Russia
⭐️ Participated in the round table “Between Stanislavsky and the Present: Where Is Theatre Heading?” at the Stanislavsky Museum
⭐️ Visited the Moscow Art Theatre, the Bolshoi Theatre, the Stanislavsky Museum, Gorky Film Studio, Moskino Film Studio, the “Heritage. Theatre. Greats” exhibition, and Anton Chekhov’s museum-estate in Melikhovo
Over six weeks the programme became a vibrant space for professional growth, creative exchange, and new international connections. We thank our fellows for their talent, energy, and openness, and wish them every success on their artistic journeys 🧡
