Tania Moguillevskaya

Why conferences and how they can help researchers? - Issues unexplored and answers are vague. I belong to the group of people who are satisfied with this form of the exchange of ideas, in fact - I love the reports, discussions, debates and discussions in the smoking room before, during, and after. My personal view it is talk is food for new interconnections in the brain, and between people. We have many familiar scientists in Komsomolsk and Khabarovsk, , we sometimes present at conferences, thanks to the invitation of Dokuchaev Ilya.  Of course, there are scientists who are interested in pure science, the interweaving of formulas and words, and their legions, they write books, articles, theses, which no one ever reads it, which will remain in the archives of memory. These scientists have jobs that work and life that live after work. Work and life are not connected are not affected and do not overlap. Coming out of the library - the scientist becomes a normal person, he is interested in the price of meat and on the car. It's about others. Those who is few in the world. And those who really can move atoms in the brain not only his own, but the brain was observed, and as a result - can affect the final product (in this case - performance and audience).

Tania Moguilevskaya.

We met in 1998, when we is coming to the festival Passage we corresponded with her e-mail, of course, she recommended us the unforgettable Jean-Pierre Thibodeau, on his voyage to Komsomolsk, and yet - we knew her before the Passage, and then, when they came to the festival in 1999 we met. Of course, we do not expect to see a touching young professor's, (which is only working on her doctorate in Russian theater), we became friends and in 2001 I was part of the Russian delegation was invited to the East-West program, which makes the show in the same group with Eugene Grishkovets.

I worked on the play by K.Kostenko, it was just magically (photo 2001)

Our next action was work in KnAM WEST DOCK (2002), where Tanya acted as interpreter of the text (the text is much different from the one that was in Isayev, it was more real and this new burst of poetry, from the endless repetitions and looping text )... We did not understand the text, but over the years has come to understand his poetry and I fell in love Koltes so that then put him in Tilsit-theater ... 

Thanks Tanya, thanks Gilles!

 I can rightfully be called Tatiana Mogilevskaya a living scientist who communicates directly with the practice, she is very well aware of the whole range of contemporary Russian theater, often in Moscow, participates and conducts work-shops and she is learning. For her, her personal life is intertwined with her scientific work, so she can help the director as a walking encyclopedia. Her invaluable experience, so, for example, her opinion about our new performances "River flows" or the first attempt "I am" is very valuable to us.  Thank you, Tanya!

CE COMMENTAIRE de Cécile Vaissié à propos de sa rencontre avec Tania Frolova et le Teatr KnAM, le 14.12.2012 à l'occasion de la Journée d'études Université Lyon 2 "LES PUSSY RIOT ET LES AUTRES" à laquelle elle participait :

"Encore sous l'impression incroyablement forte de la rencontre, hier, avec les gens du théâtre KnAM, de Komsomolsk sur l'Amour (neuf heures d'avion vers l'Est à partir de Moscou). Tania Frolova, la metteuse en scène, et deux de ses comédiens. Des gens bien, droits, créatifs, avec tout en place sur le plan intellectuel. Pas de chichi, pas de "nose up", pas de fausse modestie, pas de trucs tordus: des gens qui savent ce qu'ils font et pourquoi ils le font. Ils décrivent une région sinistrée, dont les habitants font partir leurs enfants, parce que la vie est trop difficile. Alors les jeunes partent, pour la Nouvelle-Zélande, les Etats-Unis, l'Europe, Moscou, voire la Chine. Et Tania et sa troupe explorent l'histoire de leur ville, construite non par des komsomols enthousiastes, mais par des détenus politiques, dans les années 30. Et eux mêmes sont les enfants ou les petits-enfants de tels détenus, et "marchent sur les os" des prisonniers morts d'épuisement. Alors, sur scène et/ou dans les rues, ils rappellent ce qui s'est passé et que tous ont oublié, parce que les autorités ne veulent pas parler de ce passé, et, dans leur petit théâtre du bout du monde, ils font le lien entre ces purges des années 30 et les arrestations d'aujourd'hui. Ils font faire du théâtre aux enfants des orphelinats et ils explorent dans un spectacle la "guerre en Tchétchénie" que chaque Russe a désormais en soi. Des artistes. Des intellectuels. Des citoyens. De très très belles personnes."

It's all me

theater KnAM working on a social project, "This is all me." The essence of the project is that the actors involved in the theater with a group of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. They give children the basic skills of acting, develop fantasy and imagination, learn to move and speak beautifully. Session lasts an hour and takes place once a week, but after the first classes were the first results are visible. As told Tatyana Frolova, a theater director, "We have seen that this is a little different people. They became softer and, if before they left to itself or looking at the phone, then later they opened, began to look into the eyes of calm, they had the plastic. "
When asked why the protagonists of the project - the children from disadvantaged families, Tatiana said: "We have worked very hard with the children of the orphanage, but now decided to work with children who have parents, but they have a dysfunctional family. We think that these children are more deprived than the children of the orphanage because they are abandoned, they are on their own. We want to focus on such families, because we did not know the world. "



Dmitry Bocharov, actor KnAM added: "It is very logical - to work with children. If someone needs help, associated with the theater, art and creativity, first of all, of course, young people, because adults do not forge. "Tatiana went on: "Children - our future. You want a little more to invest in the future. Though these 11 people. If they are a little more free, naughty, will see brighter possibilities, we have worked with them for good reason. "
These 11 people, which says Tatiana - students and older students. Each of them has a heavy load on the heart - nedolyublennosti parents, scenes of cruelty and violence, but in spite of all their smiling faces - the goods have not been able to oust the best of what they have. Theater director said that before you start to work with children, the entire cast was worried.



"We imagined that they are tough, loaded, - the director - but when they came, we realized that they really almost indistinguishable from ordinary young people. The only difference - they have more discipline. Generally very clean kids like flowers. "
Tatiana shows some video interviews with the children. Are teenagers - 15, 16 years. In the video, they are trapped, but smiling, they call your name, age and tell what they do or did. However, these guys are smiling, no longer come to the other activities of the first.
"They must have a network of more important things," - says Tatiana. All the guys before the experiment told that this project is necessary first of all to themselves. And the fact that more than half of the children dropped out, says only about one-young komsomolchane not want to change. But the project will still take place, even if it will be used several times fewer people than expected, he says.
On the third lesson comes just two people. This is a high school student and the student Dima Vlad.



They offer classes in acting, actress Elena Bessonova. She asks about homework. It lay in the fact that, during the week to track good things in life, then Elena asked to recall and describe what they saw a happy man, and then give the job to remember a bright red object, met today. After warm-up to the main section - acting. Young people come up with skits, improvise. Helen encourages their praises: "Well done! Super! Wow!". Kind words like spells liberate young people and the next scene they do with passion, almost without hesitation. In parallel, the teacher explains the importance of training in acting, "It helps to go to the art of living. Here, for example, when you make a scene and you have a goal - everything works. And in life, when you know exactly what you want - everything works. "
After classes in acting, in the hall comes Tatyana Frolova. She says it is important to "find" your voice, let it out. There was also a work of the imagination - the boys closed their eyes and were a fire, lemon, snow.
On the question of what will be the result of the actor with children KnAMovtsy said: "While we have had two meetings - the first we have told them something, in the second we have a closer look, and spent the first photo session. We have this idea - to do after school photo and video sessions. What of it? We do not yet know. But the first thing we want - it's an exhibition. But it will be very different from what usually happens in museums, in particular, in our, Far. "
According to the idea of ​​theater-goers, the pictures should reflect the personality changes. And above all, the attention paid to the eyes in the photo, facial expressions.
It should be noted that this experiment is the first time in the theater. "It's an experiment in form, - the director of the theater, - if before we knew exactly what we will do with the children - we had a clear plan, we know what we want to get the result, what methods will be used for this, but now we have decided on a creative project - we have only a rough vision of what should happen eventually, but we give a free hand to these young people. They can participate in this project and offer some ideas - everything from movies to art actions. Let them do, and we'll help them. "
I will add that a parallel project "It's me" theater KnAM is working on a play about the memory, "I am." Are any details about him were not disclosed, but it is known that the social project may affect production. "It is possible that there is something out of what is now engaged in the theater with children can enter into the prepared statement," I am! '"- Shared the director. In late November komsomolchane see two projects from the theater.
Working with adolescents, as well as a new performance theater KnAM is part of the all-Russian project "Theatre + Company" by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, which is realized in the seven independent Russian theaters. Thus, private theaters are funded some projects, which involved socially vulnerable groups with limited access to the cultural sphere.

Black car and black people

They really came in a black car, which is popularly called craters. Pre calling my cell. Cause a call on my first interrogation, the investigator for particularly important cases of prosecution outlined very vague. Something to do with the Oil Refinery and my public statements on the Internet. A nice young man. But somehow, his voice trembling. He would quickly get out of the theater. Interestingly, they all who speak out are asked to come in for questioning? Or is it just me? But what about the grandmother on the benches? They do not hesitate in expressions. Okay, I'll go tomorrow at 15:00 for his first interrogation.
