History

[edit]
Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko

The idea of the studio-school was expressed for the first time at the meeting of the leaders of Moscow Art Theater on March 21, 1943.[3] It was the last will of the director and pedagogue Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, who died of a heart attack a month later, April 25, 1943. The following day (April 26, 1943), a special resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic was published, which contained a clause relating to the creation of the studio school.

The studio-school was inaugurated on October 20, 1943. The first rector was the theater director and critic Vassili Grigorievich Sakhnovski. The first class consisted of 27 students graduating in 1947.[4]

In the 1940s, there was just one faculty for drama theater and cinema actors. In 1987, a new branch for theater painters was opened under the direction of Valeri Yakovlevich Levental. During 1989, a new department for artist-technologists for stage costume was opened under the direction of the People's Artist of Russia Eleonora Petrovna Maklakova. The Department for lighting artists was opened in 1988.

In 1991, a department of theater management was established in the theatre school. In 2005, the department was transformed into a producer faculty.
