If your future profession you see theatrical creativity, directing or the visual arts, you will have to prepare for admission to a university incredibly carefully. In such universities, there is always a serious competition, at least 200 people per place. It is very difficult to prepare on your own, it can help with this school of theatrical skillor special courses.

Stage school of theatrical skill, structure of directions

Almost in all creative universities there is an unspoken written pre-examination competition, where the applicant writes a free essay on the subject of his vision of himself in the future profession. This can be a summary of the concept of their hypothetical directorial work, a free retelling of the creative plans of a particular production with a step-by-step explanation of their implementation. It can be a play or a script of its own authorship, poetry, etc.

The commission assesses the creative potential of the applicant, the feasibility of submitting documents to this educational institution. You need to submit documents at once to all theatrical educational institutions of the city. There is a simple explanation for this - with a huge competition for a place, it turns out that you do not choose the university, but the university is thinking about your professional suitability.

The school of theatrical skill in each Temple of Melpomene has its own unique style. It will be good if you have visited theatrical performances theater chefs of universities, where you enter and understand the difference between stage schools. After all, there is a certain unspoken competitive element between the theaters and it is fatal to get into a mess, confusing, for example, the school of the VTU im. Shchepkina with the Moscow Art Theater School.

Will be a huge plus if you're done training courses at this educational institution. So, you have chosen for yourself admission to VGIK, training coursesand the recommendations for the university are as follows: twice a year, students are recruited here for vocational guidance courses at the directing department. The courses last two months and introduce the prospective applicant into the details of the chosen profession. It is important to understand that these courses do not provide any advantages upon admission, they are only intended to introduce you to the course of some aspects.

How to choose the right poetry to listen to

Applicants often wonder what poems for admission to the theater It will be more advantageous to choose a university. There can be no other advice than to look back at the stage schools of theaters and the teacher recruiting the curriculum. In any case, it is categorically impossible to limit oneself to one poem.
