i successively replacing each other educational institutions, transformed as a result of the RATI, begins on October 22, 1878, when the "Music School for Visitors P. Shostakovsky" was opened, which was under the patronage of the Society of Lovers of Musical and Dramatic Arts.
In 1883, the decree. The society was renamed the Moscow Philharmonic Society, and the music school received the status of the Music and Drama School under it (clause 2 of the charter of the Moscow Philharmonic Society, approved on August 9, 1883). Both the School and the Society as a whole were under the patronage and tutelage of the Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich. Subsequently, the School was equated in rights with higher educational institutions - conservatories, which was fixed by a new charter approved by the Emperor at the request of Grand Duchess Elizaveta Fedorovna.
Drama classes of the Music and Drama School were headed by famous actors, teachers and theatrical figures: in 1883-1889. A. Yuzhin, in 1889-1891. O. Pravdin, in 1891-1901. Vl. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko.
The school was graduated at different times by famous actors and directors; for example, among the graduates of the School in 1898 were Knipper, Savitskaya, Meyerhold, Munt, Snegirev, etc. ).
This is how Vl. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko about his 10 years of work at the school with Shostakovsky:
“I owe a lot to the Philharmonic. There I became stronger in my stage tasks. And from there went the Art Theater. The founder of the Philharmonic, Shostakovsky, had a great dignity as a director: he appreciated individuality, guessed it and gave her the conditions for free growth. At that time, from the firmly established, strict Conservatory, the pupil was quickly shackled by the rules and requirements of the most definite dogmas - the Philharmonic already knew that it was harmful to swaddle a child. It was possible to “experiment”, to achieve something different from the “highest approved” with confidence that you would find support in the director. I came to teach while studying, came so that in a year, as a teacher of acting, replace such an actor as Yuzhin, and I myself did not have any major acting or stage teaching experience. In my youth I played as an amateur, did amateur performances Akli, by this time he was a fashionable playwright, and when he staged his plays, he directed them himself. For the students who were looking for the authority of the actor, this was not enough. It would be impossible to win their trust without the highest support. And at the Philharmonic I got all the conditions for my searches. Do we know, for example, that Ibsen sounded for the first time on the Russian stage for real, as a poet-social activist, at the Philharmonic's student performance in "Hope", despite the fact that before that "Nora" had already played in Moscow and the famous Duse and gorgeous Russian - Azagarova.
This, of course, is the subject of detailed recollections to tell about the setting in which my, it seems, ten-year work at the Philharmonic went on: everyday features, artistic individuals, the boundaries of school possibilities, the height of artistic tasks, the emergence of collectives, etc., etc. In these lines I only want to remember this institution dear to my heart with sincere kindness. And my deepest connection with him: from here (as from the Society of Art Lovers - the Alekseev-Stanislavsky circle), the Art Theater will be born ... Dreams, burning, daring, - what else strong words there are for these concepts - the struggle for their "new", self-sacrifice, overcoming, bitter failures and joyful festive victories! Collaboration, connecting with love, friendship, devotion, indescribable change of images, episodes! How many of you are not familiar with these precious experiences of striving, struggle, defeat and victory. I am connected with the Philharmonic by such experiences. "
In 1902, the Music and Drama School moved to the old mansion of the Soldatenkov family in Maly Kislovsky Lane, where the RATI is located to this day.
On October 24, 1903, the "Charter of the Musical-Drama School of the Moscow Philharmonic Society, which was under the patronage of Her August Imperial Highness, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, was approved." According to the Charter, the School was under the authority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs:
Famous figures of Russian musical culture: P. Shostakovsky, R. Erlich, S. Koussevitsky, K. Erdeli taught in the music classes of the Music and Drama School. The composer V. Kalinnikov and the singer L. Sobinov graduated from the school, who made the glory of the national musical culture. The tradition of drama classes to finish training with a performance was also adopted by music classes, where opera performances were staged, as well as the programs of the student symphony orchestra. The skill of the young musicians allowed P. Sarasate, S. Rachmaninov, L. Sobinov, F. Chaliapin, A. Arensky and others to perform with this orchestra.
Since 1918, the Music and Drama School has undergone a number of reorganizations and renaming due to changes in state system education. Thus, in 1918 it was renamed the Institute of Music and Drama, and then in 1920 into the State Institute of Musical Drama (GIMDR) with a drama department. Drama department in 1921-1925 headed by A. Petrovsky; A. Zonov, N. Aksagarsky, A. Chabrov, A. Geyrot, L. Lurie taught dramatic art at the department. Inheriting the traditions of the "scientific" classes of the school, in 1921-1925, along with such subjects as diction, voice acting, dance, fencing, they taught the history of drama and the history of literature. The course of study at the State Institute of International Relations was planned for 7 years, of which 2 years were allotted to a technical school, 3 years to a university, and 2 years to "free workshops" (ie, practice).
In August 1922, the State Institute of Musical Drama was merged with the State Higher Theater Workshops, headed by Vs. Meyerhold. It was this association that was named the State Institute of Theater Arts - GITIS, the official date of its formation was September 17, 1922. According to the plan, GITIS was supposed to unite the three main branches of theatrical art: dramatic, operatic and choreographic.
Drama Faculty, headed by prof. A. Petrovsky, from the very beginning was formed of two departments - theatrical instructor and director. Education at the faculty was conducted in workshops: Sun. Meyerhold, N. Malko (music and drama), B. Ferdinandov (experimental and heroic theater), A. Petrovsky, N. Foregger, N. Aksagarsky. There were national workshops - Latvian, Jewish, Armenian.
In June 1923, the State Practical Institute of Choreography (GPIH) with workshops for drum ballet, synthetic dance, pantomime and classical dance joined GITIS as a faculty. Thus, three faculties were formed: Drama (headed by A. Petrovsky); operatic (headed by K. Saradzhev), and choreographic (N. Rakhmanov).
In 1924, by the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars, the existing theater institutes in Moscow and St. Petersburg were closed "due to the lack of theater education", but GITIS was still allowed to graduate students on an expedited basis.
Kruzhkovoe and club movement, which was actively developing in those years, was the main incentive for the subsequent creation of theater instructor courses on the basis of the already disbanded GITIS. In 1925, the Central Technical School of Theater Arts, CETETIS, educational institution with four-year training, designed to "educate highly qualified masters." Two departments were opened in CETETIS - music and drama (opera) and drama, and four specialties were approved: acting, directing, club instructing and teaching. The teachers of CETETIS remained professors and teachers of GITIS; the number of students, in comparison with GITIS, has doubled.
In 1926, on the basis of graduates of GITIS and CETETIS, the "Musical Drama" theater was formed in Zamoskvorechye, in the performances of which the students of the institute also participated.
The curriculum of CETETIS is a valuable historical evidence of the nature of the educational process that took place there:
1) Disciplines common to all departments:
(a) public items:
political economy,
Soviet constitution,
history of the class struggle and the CPSU (b),
historical materialism,
sociology of arts,
anatomy and physiology,
reflexology,
foreign languages \u200b\u200b(Italian, German, French);
(b) art history subjects:
theater studies,
theater history,
the latest theater trends,
costume history;
(c) performing arts:
primary elements of stage action,
stage exercises,
stage practice based on theatrical art,
production workshops (practice for opera and drama),
facial expressions and makeup;
(d) word and speech:
speech technique,
speech music,
voice staging;
(e) movement:
physical education (acrobatics and fencing),
gymnastics and games,
rhythm, dance;
(f) musical items:
obligatory piano,
muses. a diploma based on choral singing.
2) Special disciplines in the drama department:
(a) art history subjects:
dramaturgy,
poetry and analysis of literary forms.
3) Special disciplines at the club-instructor department:
(a) public items:
trade union movement,
cultural work of trade unions;
(b) club business:
club science,
methods of working circles,
practice in clubs;
(c) performing arts:
directing (theory and practice),
small and forms of club work,
ways to create a club performance ".
In general, CETETIS marks an important stage in the formation of the Russian directing school, since within its framework an independent club instructor department was first formed (in 1927-28 academic year), and at the drama department, a series of lectures on directing was introduced.
The logical conclusion of this process was the opening of the directing and pedagogical faculty on the basis of the directing and club department of CETETIS on September 15, 1930. The faculty began to train stage directors (directors of professional theaters, large workers 'clubs and palaces of culture), acting teachers (for technical schools, workers' faculties, guest studios, advanced theater courses) and instructors-methodologists (i.e. theater workers of the regional and regional scale, art houses, amateur theaters, trams and art bases). This was the world's first experience in professional training of directors; RATI-GITIS today is a recognized leader in this area.
In general, the curriculum of CETETIS speaks of a wide range of disciplines taught, including subjects not only of a special, but also of a general humanitarian cycle (even if these subjects do not seem quite common today). It is not surprising, therefore, that two years after the creation of CETETIS it became clear that both in terms of the teaching staff and the quality of the education given in it, CETETIS outgrew the technical school set for it, and reached the level of a higher educational institution. Back in 1928, at the celebrations dedicated to the 50th anniversary of theatrical education in Russia, this was noted in the anniversary speech of the People's Commissar of Education Lunacharsky, and the beginning of the 30s was a time of lively discussion in theatrical and pedagogical circles about the form appropriate for a theater university ("tea -university ").
On August 2, 1931, the resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR "On the reorganization of the system of art education in the RSFSR" was published, which regulated the activities of art higher educational institutions and workers' faculties, and on October 1 of the same year, by the decision of the Council of People's Commissars, a theater university was created, which received the already familiar name - GITIS.
The newspaper "Soviet Art" (10/13/1931) in an article entitled "GITIS in the corridor. Theatrical university opened in the smoking room" described this event as follows: "A theatrical university was opened in the rehearsal room of the Chamber Theater. The opening took place without any" pomp ", the usual in these cases. No one greeted the newborn GITIS. There were no addresses, no congratulations. The director of the new university, Comrade Loginov, announced GITIS open. The students, seated on the chairs and windows of the cramped room, listened to the reports of the GITIS leaders and went to classes. in the corridor and in the smoking room of the Chamber Theater This is how this "historic day of the opening of the world's first theater university" passed.
In 1931, for the first time in Europe, GITIS began university training of specialists in the field of organizing theatrical business - a director's faculty was opened, which existed until 1939. In 1931, a theater studies faculty was organized with departments of the history of Russian and Western European theater.
Three years after its second opening, GITIS existed as part of the Teatralny Kombinat (Teakombinat), combining old and new educational structures: (a) GITIS - a higher educational institution with faculties of directing, teaching, instructing, theater studies and administrative and economic; (b) CETETIS - a technical school, where now only actors were trained in the drama and music-drama department; (c) Tearabfak.
In July 1935, the Teakombinat was again transformed into the State Institute of Theater Arts with three faculties: director (with three years of training), directing (with four years of training), acting (with four years of training). During these years such well-known theatrical figures as S. Birman, L. Baratov, B. Mordvinov, E. Saricheva, B. Sushkevich, N. Zbrueva, L. Leonidov, M. Tarkhanov, V. Sakhnovsky, O. Pyzhova, B. Bibikov, O. Androvskaya, I. Raevsky, V. Orlov, A. Lobanov, I. Anisimova-Wulf, G. Konsky, F. Kaverin, P. Leslie, M. Astangov, I. Sudakov, Yu. Zavadsky. It was during these years that a large-scale preparation of national studios was launched, which exists in the most diverse forms to this day.
The pre-war history of GITIS reflected the social life of the country, trying on forms that are sometimes difficult to be compatible with theater and theatrical educational process... So, information has been preserved that in the spring of 1938 the GITIS team proposed to organize an all-Union competition between art educational institutions and called on "... to fight for exemplary and timely performance curriculum, independence of students' creative work, exemplary conducting of educational and production training, organization of final shows at the end of the year best works, exemplary conduct of a new recruitment. "In response to this appeal, KS Stanislavsky wrote:" Dear comrades, the initiative you have taken in organizing socialist competition is a necessary and useful thing. I warmly welcome your initiative. Our country needs well-trained creative personnel. Socialist competition should help us overcome difficulties in work and improve the quality of our studies. Our studio accepts your challenge and joins the competition. "
On the eve of June 22, 1941, students took exams and tests of the spring test-examination session of the 1940-1941 academic year, but the Great Patriotic War crossed out a lot in their student life.
In September-October 1941, classes at GITIS were temporarily suspended. In the empty auditoriums, rehearsals were held only for the front-line brigades. On October 23, a passenger train departed for Saratov, in which GITIS students were leaving Moscow. Those who arrived from Moscow were accommodated in the hostel of the Saratov Medical Institute, but the students were engaged in the premises of the art school. A group of students from the directing department joined the acting department.
The front theater GITIS, formed from graduates of the acting and directing departments in the summer of 1942 in Saratov, also contributed to the movement of front-line theaters.
The theater performed near Moscow, at Kalininsky, Volkhovsky, Karelian, First Baltic, First Belorussian, Second Belorussian fronts, playing 146 times the play "A guy from our city", 160 - "Night of mistakes", 47 - a composition specially made based on the play by N. Pogodina "The Man with the Gun", 139 - "Honeymoon Trip", 56 - "The Marriage of Balzaminov", 34 - "So It Will Be", thousands of times - vaudeville, sketches, constantly updated concert programs. On May 3, 1945, the Gitis members in defeated Berlin gave their last performance for the soldiers-liberators. completing with dignity a four-year journey of incredibly difficult front roads. During the 1418 days of the war, the theater gave more than 1500 performances.
The director and director of the First Front-line Theater of the WTO was a graduate of GITIS who returned from the front after being wounded - A. Goncharov. The director of the Front Theater of the WTO was V. Nevzorov, a graduate who returned from the front after numerous wounds. B. Golubovsky, a graduate of the directing department, worked as a chief director at the Komsomolsko-Front Theater of GITIS, who then organized the Front Theater of Miniatures "Ogonyok". On many fronts, graduates, students, teachers of the institute fought. Many were awarded the highest military awards, including the star of the Hero of the USSR, which N. Kachuevskaya was posthumously awarded.
In the postwar years, GITIS has been expanding vigorously, new faculties appear. On August 5, 1946, the directing department came up with a new initiative - 3 departments were opened at the faculty: opera, directing, ballet. The opera department was first transformed into the department of directors of musical theater, then the faculty of musical theater was created on its basis. Its founders were: I. M. Tumanov, M. P. Maksakova, P. M. Pontryagin.
In the fall of 1946, the department of choreography was created. The department was headed by R.V. Zakharov. A. V. Shatin, L. I. Lavrovsky, Yu. A. Bakhrushin, N. I. Tarasov, T. S. Tkachenko, A. Tseitlin, M. V. Vasilyeva-Rozhdestvenskaya supported and helped their implementation.
Since 1958, the Educational Theater has been operating at GITIS, known for many of its performances and playing an important role in training students in all theater specialties.
In 1964, an experimental course for stage directors was recruited at the directing department, and 3 years later, in April 1968, the department of stage directing and mass performances was organized; Finally, in 1973, the Variety Department was opened. The founder of the Variety Faculty - and formerly the head of the course and head. the department at the directing department was I. G. Sharoyev.
In 1966, the first recruitment of part-time students at the department of circus directors took place, and in 1967 F.G.Bardian headed the department of circus directors at the directing department. In 1973, a full-time department was opened, and in 1975 the department of circus art was created. Among the graduates of the department are such masters as V. Averyanov, E. Bernadsky, Yu. Biryukov, A. Kalmykov; People's Artists of the USSR - L. A. Shevchenko, V. A. Shevchenko, M. M. Zapashny. V. V. Golovko; People's Artists of Russia - L. L. Kostyuk, A. N. Nikolaev, V. Shemshur. Such masters as V. Krymko, B. Bresler, M. Zolotnikov, M. Mestechkin, E. Lagovsky worked at the department. At present, the Department of Circus Art is headed by Doctor of Art History, Professor M.I.Nemchinsky.
In 1974, the production faculty found a second life, which set itself the goal of forming highly qualified managers of a wide profile - not only for theaters, but also for television, show business, cinema, and circus. In 1992, the faculty of scenography was opened.
In 1991 GITIS was given the status of an academy, and the Institute was renamed the Russian Academy of Theater Arts - GITIS.
The traditions of the Academy are in continuity. The basic principle "student-teacher-student" is the most important in the selection teaching staff; therefore, many of the Academy's teachers today are graduates of RATI-GITIS of different years.
Today RATI-GITIS is integrated into the world system of theater education. Its partners are theater schools in Great Britain (Middlesex University, London School of Music and Drama "Guildhall", Theater School in Guildford), France (National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Paris, National School of Theater Arts in Lyon), Holland ( Theater Academy in Amsterdam), Germany (International Theater Center in Berlin), Israel (Theater School "Beit Zvi" in Tel Aviv), China (Central Academy of Drama in Beijing), Czech Republic (Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts in Brno), Italy ( Silvio d Amico Academy of Dramatic Arts in Rome), Colgate and Cornell Universities (USA), International MA-MFA-Short courses (London, Madrid, Michigan, Moscow, Paris), etc.
