Matvey Dubrovin created an educational system that teaches children by means of theatrical art.

An author of various articles and methodological developments on aesthetic education, Matvey used the Theatre of Youth Creativity to educate the universe of now well-known figures of Russian theater and cinema, including Evgeny Sazonov, Lev Dodin, Sergei Solovyov,[1] Aleksandr Galibin, Andrey Krasko.
