  • Interactive Multimedia Solutions Developed for the Opening of the New Stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre
    Interactive Multimedia Solutions Developed for the Opening of the New Stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre Nikolay Borisov, Artem Smolin, Denis Stolyarov, Pavel Shcherbakov St. Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, Saint Petersburg State University Abstract. This paper focuses on teamwork by the National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (NRU ITMO) and the Aleksandrinsky Theatre in preparation of opening of the New Stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre. The Russian State Pushkin Academy Drama Theatre, also known as the Alexandrinsky Theatre, is the oldest national theatre in Rus- sia. Many famous Russian actors performed on the Alexandrinsky’s stage and many great directors. May 2013 marked the opening of the New Stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre. The theatre complex comprises three buildings: the new stages building, a media center, and the building housing a center of theatre ed- ucation. Several plays shown simultaneously on multiple stages within the new complex’s buildings constituted the opening gala of the New Stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre. The works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky were the plays’ uni- fying theme. NRU ITMO employees developed several interactive theatre pro- ject solutions implemented for the opening of the Alexandrinsky Theatre’s New Stage. Keywords: Theatre, Multimedia, Information Technologies, NRU ITMO, SPbGU 1 Introduction The Russian State Pushkin Academy Drama Theatre, also known as the Alexandrinsky Theatre, is the oldest national theatre in Russia. It was founded in 1756 by the Senate’s decree. The history of the Alexandrinsky Theatre is closely linked to some of the most prominent exponents of Russian culture.

  • Olympic Games on Theatre Stage
    http://www.vesti.ru/doc.html?id=2811741 Daria Ganieva Artur Nurmukhametov Olympic Games on Theatre Stage At this time Poland hosts very unusual competition — Olympics on theatre stage. Russian troop (team) of the Alexandrinsky Theatre with its "Masquerade: Recollections of the Future" also takes part in the festival. There are no medals or losses (fails) in this Olympics in Polish Wroclaw. Even if the only Russian team, the Alexandrinsky Theatre, is already a national winner —"Masquerade: Recollections of the Future" won two "Golden masks", — Valery Fokin, the theatre’s artistic director makes the team keep practicing on foreign grounds round the clock. "Above all other things, you compete yourself, and you do your best to make the theatre go through it and pass the examination. Being abroad is always a test (assessment). The play is not as well-known as in Russia, so it is important to let the audience not only see, that the play is a melodrama, but to make them understand the tragic subject (sense). Even 20 years ago, everybody would understand Lermontov without subtitles, but now Russian language is not studied in Poland anymore. The leading theatre of the country cancelled the guest performance in Saint-Petersburg because of sanctions in 2014. But The Theatre Olympics went without "doping scandal". Alexander Chepurov, the associate artistic director of the Alexandrinsky Theatre notices: "6 truck trailers were needed for 1 play, 6 big trucks to carry theatrical scenery, teasers, curtains, furniture. The furniture is also reconstructed from Aleksandr Golovin’s sketches". "Masquerade" is going abroad for the first time.

  • 9TH THEATRE OLYMPICS Owing to the Global Development of The
    9TH THEATRE OLYMPICS Owing to the global development of the system of information and communication, people everywhere can now feel and know closely about other than their own cultures. Compared with the olden times when people experienced everything on the spot and thus nurtured wisdom required for coexistence with other human beings, our world is permeated by something completely new, a change which enables us to know and understand things without actually ‘being there’. The change has been brought about by means of thorough exploitation of 'non-animal' energy (electricity, oil, nuclear power etc.) and is necessarily going to increase in the future. It is, however, dangerous to trust this ‘non-animal’ energy too much, which claims to connect people with each other with maximum speed. For it can lead to the forgetting or weakening of the rich possibilities of ‘animal’ energy stored up in the bodies of human individuals. Human cultures have bloomed and borne fruits through the refined uses of ‘animal’ energy. It is precisely in this way that performing arts, such as theatre, dance, and opera, have become a heritage of humankind irreplaceable by such media as television or film. The same applies to sports. Both performing arts and sports provide the ground for better understanding of and deeper caring for human beings by means of bringing people together to the very spot where they are taking place. No matter how enormous and necessary the system of communication by ‘non-animal’ energy may become for our actual life, it would be suicidal for humankind to forget or ignore the values embodied by performing arts and sports.

He majors in sociology be- cause he enjoys analyzing society’s evolution. “I’m taking an elective anthropology course called ‘Cross-Cultural Research on Urban Gangs,’ ” Thymes said. “It’s interesting to learn the mindsets of gang members and explore why they do what they do.” Thymes’ unique name stands out on the Trojans’ roster almost as much as his impressive results. “I was born just before the Northridge earthquake hit in 1994,” Thymes said. “So my mom chose to spell my name ‘Just’N.’ It is actu- ally written on my birth certificate.” PHOTOS BY PETER ZHAOYU ZHOU Crossing the Line I imagine frontiers as the demarcations between what we know and what we don’t ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR COMMUNICATION know — the line between the familiar and the thrilling space where discovery Emily Cavalcanti resides.

Greetings from Shanghai, China, from the General Secretariat Team of ITI. The lunar new year holiday that China experienced was not a happy one as it should be. As you may know, due to the new Coronavirus outbreak in a few areas of China, the whole country is now going through some serious problems. Strong efforts to fight against the outbreak and the prevention of more cases are done. After a 10-day stay-at-home lunar year holiday, the General Secretariat Team has resumed its work on 3 February. If you have any questions or needs, you can still reach the General Secretariat. The work of the office continues to be done. However, as the government and experts strongly suggest that citizens should avoid gathering. That is why the members of the General Secretariat will only return to work in the office at the beginning of March. The good news is that the Shanghai authorities have been successful in dealing with the virus and things are getting back to normal, step by step. We will keep you updated on the situation here. If you have any questions, please write to us over info(at)iti-worldwide.org. W i h f t d h lth t ll f A d h th t th iti ll th We wish safety and health to all of you.
