I’m glad that he was in quarantine – confessed “RG” composer Grigory Gladkov. – A person who tours a lot and does not happen for a long time and have a great desire not to go anywhere, sit at home. And at the same time, I often thought, God forbid you get sick and depart from normal life, normal rhythm. Now you can collect his thoughts, sorted through the papers, complete unfinished songs and write new ones. I like it. There is the opportunity to “stop, look…”, as wrote when-that Alexander Aronov, a wonderful poet, journalist. This is the motto of our lives today.
I found two classes to be of some public benefit. Spend in social networks live broadcasts twice a day – morning and evening. So the whole family could sit, drink tea and listen. Remember my old repertoire, sing, play the guitar, harmonica, tell stories. Thanks ethers, communicate with old friends, made some new friends. Call from Germany, Norway, America, Ukraine, Georgia – literally from all over the world, from different cities of Russia. How great to have Internet! See each other, talk, sing, read verses.
Even participate in different TV and radio programs. Sing together. Even small workshops spend. Interviews. I have a round-the-clock Internet radio station “Grigory Gladkov.101”. There is the sound of my songs, stories, instrumental music from cartoons, plays, records, movies, concerts performed by actors, singers, ensembles and my own guitar. Is family radio.
the Second thing – feed homeless cats and dogs. In times of crisis they can be especially numerous. By the way, we collect funds to feed homeless animals.
I’m at home, which was built with love, all invented by himself, – now one. For a creative person it is very important to be alone. The children in the country, daughter, student, son – schoolboy – doing “on distance”. There, in the country, cats, dogs, parrots.
Compose new songs. Write children’s musicals to theatres, cheerful, perky, put their hits – “Plasticine crow”, “Box of pencils”. Send us your poems and scripts of musicals, I would try to write music to it.
What else are you doing? On the balcony (it’s big) sit, breathe fresh air, drink coffee, exercise, read. I have a good library. Learn different cooking. Trying to play sports. Doing squats, running, I have weights.
Before the quarantine was opened with friends the children’s creativity Center “АRТИСТ”. Launched an online project competition called “plasticine crow collects tongue twisters”. Until 10 may you can send videos, we will summarize at the end of may. Tongue twisters – this is so interesting and useful, and fun, funny. Such pleasure our Russian language! Therefore, we will continue the contest until the end of the year.
Another online campaign, in which I participate – is the popular cartoons. There is multitude “Tale of Joy”, where children under the direction of Julia Sarychevoy to make cartoons. Already finished two of my songs: “In the box with the pencils”, “If you see in the picture…”. Now doing third – “to Open and close the eyes.” The drawings for the cartoons guys sent literally from all over the world.
– On the isolation worked great. Even not enough time, – told “RG” the artistic Director of the Perm theatre “the Bridge”Sergey Fedotov. – For the past month we daily from 13 to 22 hours rehearsing with the artists online, on Skype. The weekend traditionally on Mondays.
On the screen is composed of 30 artists, and during this time no one missed a single rehearsal. We would easily learn to practice because in ordinary life because of the constant travel on tours, festivals we can rehearse in the hotel, train, bus and even on the station.
Now traditionally, the rehearsal begins with training. Engaged in scenic speech, vocal, yoga, Irish dance and creative. This month we have “drinking” has developed three new performance: “Philistines” Gorky, “Energetic people” program and the “Field” of the Irish playwright John Keane (the play in Russia yet did not put). In General, after the quarantine, we will be ready to release three premieres.
through the day we online run is already going to performances. We, too, it’s easy, because we used to rehearse repertoire productions. And “Marriage” and “the Beast”, for example, have been going for 30 years, and we continue to rehearse. “The master and Margarita” is played for more than 20 years and also rehearsed. And all other performances.
Skype has a function of recording, and we record our runs and readings. In the beginning came the idea of a video version of the online rehearsal and it was a real web series. Already there are seven series, and our viewers are constantly asking to continue. After the rehearsal with the 22.00 we with operators mounted midnight movie. So it’s never boring.
by the Way, work in the Skype is very fascinating and interesting. We found that our actors look on screen, know how to share energy, to sound, this is a good school.
Shows the Network has collected more than 30 thousand views. Reviews come from all over the world – from those countries where we were on tour and those foreign theaters, which we had at the Festival of McDonagh. The amazing thing is the Internet. Our online performances and rehearsals see around the world. In our rehearsals on Skype already participated Directors Valery anisenko from Belarus and Roland Bonin from France. Was a very productive rehearsal. But I also continue to shape the program of the Fourth festival of McDonagh, to be held in October this year. I’m sure he comp��GSI. And all members of theatres from ten countries – believe that. We are with them in constant communication.
I Managed to work at home and on new plays, to look at their archives. Overall, a good stop it turned out. First lot went on tours, 4-5 festivals per month, and have very rarely been at home to do them.
– I understand that you can’t do, teach in the atmosphere of the pandemic. My radiology vs, I think all will bear the imprint of this evil, – says the actor Victor Bychkov. – Why do the domestic chores: cooking for the wife and 12-year-old son, my floors, I go to the store. My wife Pauline had a stroke, the recovery process is slow, the entire economy basically on top of me.
That all began to read in social networks poems, to do cosplay at the pictures. If these people are doing other professions, I don’t mind, I’m sorry, but the voices of actors, Directors don’t have to be in tune with the total mass, to them another account.
I tried to watch a theatre without spectators. Theatres, unfortunately, also succumbed to the Amateur in the fashion wrap up “online”. To make a good TV version of the play is a separate art. The French writer Boris Viana is a novel with the telling title “Foam of days”, I’m sure everything will pass and we don’t know who that read and posted. Because it was the “foam days”.
Wife loves a good TV series and I was hoisted, we recommend you to watch “the Amazing Mrs. Meisel” – deliciously ridiculous. The series “Orange – hit of the season” – very witty, autobiographical story about a women’s prison, a brilliant cast, gorgeous convex characters, interesting set of circumstances. For romantic persons, lovers of adventure – historical series “Outlander”. And, of course, our all – detective, American TV series “the Prodigal son” – impossible to resist.
“RG” will continue to publish stories of famous people about its isolation.
