- So many emotions the guys have not seen for a long time! From the beginning of the trip until the announcement of the results of the contest, we were accompanied by positive emotions, smiles and even tears of joy - this is very important! Hospitable Kazan, the beautiful "fabulous" theater "Ekiyat"… - the children returned with the most positive emotions and new, vivid impressions! - says Irina Faustova. - It is very good that there are such contests due to which our children have the opportunity not only to show themselves, but, most importantly, to exchange creative experience with teams from Moscow, Samara, Novokuybyshevsk and other cities of our country.

Irina Faustova also noted that participation in contests and festivals only strengthens the children’s desire to work on themselves and motivates them to make new achievements, which is why the plans of the ArtShock acting group are planning trips to national and international theater shows.

- Yes, it is technically very difficult - to leave with the children, collect the play, draw up documents, translate the scenery and props, but we managed this together with the huge theater staff, parents and thanks to the support of the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth. - said Irina Faustova. - It is these victories that justify our hard work, efforts, many hours of rehearsal and show that we are moving in the right direction and ahead of ArtShokov are many more awards and memorable festivals!
