Background information:

“Art project “TOGETHER”” - created by Yulia Ambartsumyan and presents different directions in art. The main goal of the creative association is to hold major exhibitions in Russia and abroad.

Yulia Ambartsumyan – graduated from Moscow State University with two specialties: lawyer and specialist in intercultural communications. She studied art with leading experts from the Pushkin Museum. Pushkin, State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow Museum Contemporary art. She also graduated from the Moscow School of Design "Details" with a degree in "Art in Design". She is currently studying at Sotheby's London in the field of “Art as an Investment.” In 2009, as part of the Year of Russia in France, she regularly organized evenings and exhibitions at the French Embassy dedicated to the culture and art of both countries. Since 2010. is a personal consultant on the formation of private collections, as well as an art dealer for a number of famous contemporary Russian artists. In 2016, she held a joint Russian-British exhibition “Our Friend Larionov” in Moscow.

Officials supported the idea of ​​holding a year of theater in Russia in 2018. The initiator of this idea at the end of last year was the head of the Union of Theater Workers, Alexander Kalyagin. The head of the Ministry of Culture liked this idea, so he reported it to the president. After approval by the head of state, the final decision was made to hold a thematic year.

Officials noted that, despite the difficult economic situation, culture, in particular the theater, needs to be given sufficient attention. The fact is that theatrical activity plays an important role in the life of society - it shapes views on life, helps make decisions and simply fulfills a person’s need for beauty.

Theaters in the capital and St. Petersburg are almost always completely full, but in other regions and cities the situation is completely different. Due to lack of funding, there are no tours, the number of shows is reduced, and ticket sales drop significantly. The head of the Ministry of Culture noted that funding theatrical activities insufficient and remains at the 2014 level. A sharp jump was noted, a significant breakthrough in the theater business, and income from ticket sales last year increased to 5.3 billion rubles. But this is still not enough for full development.

Holding the Year of Theater in 2018 in Russia will solve several important problems:

1. To popularize real art among a wide range of people, including youth and the younger generation.
2. Increase the number of tours and shows in regional theaters.
3. To give young actors the opportunity to express their talent.
4. Make theater a part of every person's life.

Theater Year Program

And although the decision that 2018 will be the year of the theater has already been finally made, the program has not yet been developed. Alexander Kalyagin addressed his colleagues on the official website of the STD and asked them to hold meetings of organizations and think about how to spend the year of the theater. The head of the Union of Theater Workers noted that one should not count on increased funding, but this should not become an obstacle to holding bright and eventful events that will help people get to know real art better and plunge into the world of theatrical magic. Kalyagin called for participation in the formation of active people.

And although there is no program for celebrating the year of the theater yet, obviously, within the framework of the decision made by officials, the following events will be held:

1. Various festivals at the federal, regional and local levels.
2. Young talent competitions.
3. Tours of famous theater groups.
4. Screenings of new performances in theaters.

Each region will have its own program of events. Alexander Kalyagin noted that this year theater workers should not look like beggars and ask for money to hold certain events.

The head of the Union of Theater Workers plans to collect all ideas and thoughts regarding the year of the theater by September 5. It is obvious that soon after this date the program will be drawn up and agreed upon.

Realities and prospects of theater in Russia in 2018

At the All-Russian Theater Forum, which was held in May in the city of Sochi, Alexander Kalyagin stated that the theater was and remains the most important part of society. He noted that holding a theme year would be an excellent occasion to remind everyone of this. Theatrical figures from all regions of Russia gathered at the Forum, and for several days Sochi turned into a real cultural capital.

Almost all the speakers talked about the most pressing issues, namely the following serious problems:

1. Lack of funding. Lack of funds leads to the need to reduce performances. There are no tours in many regions because local government does not participate in any way in the life of the theater, that is, does not allocate funds from the budget.
2. Low wages and their delays. This problem has remained relevant for a long time in many regions, especially remote ones. In this regard, young talented artists do not want to engage in art.
3. No repairs. Many cultural buildings are in terrible condition, as funds for repairs have not been allocated for decades.

Although, according to statistics, over the past couple of years the number of touring shows has increased by 20%. Medinsky said that in 2015 the number of federal-level touring shows reached almost a thousand. The country is in a difficult financial situation, but people continue to go to the theater. Over the past three years, the amount of finance received from ticket sales has increased by 70%. These figures give hope to theater workers that all is not lost.

Alexander Kalyagin has repeatedly noted that holding a year of theater gives a chance for the development of the theater business. This does not mean that they will ask for money, but they will still be able to attract the attention of officials and ordinary people to existing problems. At the same time, this is an excellent reason to bring real art to the masses.
