Theater "Practice" has developed for its anniversary a virtual project that presents its history

MOSCOW. Theater "Practice" celebrated the first decade of its work. Eduard Boyakov, who opened this chamber in the basement on Mayakovskaya, planned to turn it into a center of modern dramaturgy. In 2005, when theatrical Moscow learned about the appearance of a new stage in the capital, the famous Gogol Center did not yet exist, the name "Stanislavsky Electrotheatre" was also not on the list of metropolitan theaters.

Recalling the first years of work, in "Practice" they say that they were waiting in their hall for everyone who is able to think and feel, even those who claim to be indifferent to the theater. Spectators were invited to poetry evenings and educational programs, discussions and meetings with interesting people. As a result, a new audience came to the theater, able to evaluate the work of the new collective.

Over the ten years that have passed since the opening of "Practice", viewers saw a substantial amount of premiere performances. Some of them became random episodes, but basically, almost every work of the artists of "Practice" became an event that determines the direction of the theater.

The Praktika Theater became the organizer of the Big Change and Texture festivals, students of the course of Dmitry Brusnikin worked on this stage, then organized their own theater. Artists of "Practice" do not forget about young spectators, creating excellent children’s productions for them.

In honor of its anniversary, the theater created a virtual project where everyone can get acquainted with a huge archive posted on the site10. praktikatheater. ru. Here you can find photographs taken at the performances, the history of their creation, reviews of critics. On the main page of the site is a video clip intended for those who do not yet know anything about the Praktika Theater.
