Theater of Youth Creativity

In 1985, upon completion of the theater and concert complex TYUT got moved into the new building, to continue its work within the comfort of five floors for rehearsal and educational space, and two stages.

They decided many aspects of theater life, but at the same time had to submit to the «Responsible person on duty» or Foremen appointed for different types of activities.

Plays were produced and performed, trips to summer camp and theatrical tours stayed on schedule.

Evgeny Sazonov, Honored Worker of Culture of Russia, became the artistic director of TYUT, as he was a student and a disciple of Matvey Dubrovin.

To celebrate this date TYUT's first generation students released a book The Circle of Matvey Dubrovin (St-Petersburg Baltic Seasons 2006), which has their collected memories about their teacher.

Matvey Dubrovin's own book of memories about creating TYUT was never finished due to his untimely death.

It consists of a video hosting page with options to watch past shows on demand or via regularly scheduled programming.

Matvey Dubrovin has created round table, where all the theatrical professions are equally important, and performance is the result of community labor.

By the end of the year, each studio prepares a graduation acting performance, attended by their parents, teachers, and all of the other TUYT's students (TYUTovets).

This is due to the fact that children have to learn and work on a professional theatrical equipment that can be hard for a younger child.

As a result of educational performances, children are being sorted into creative groups in which they are expected to improve their acting skills during following years, while working on a show that will later be included in the repertoire of the Theater.

TYUT became a school for many famous people, i.e.: Evgeny Sazonov, Veniamin Filshtinsky, Rudolf Katz, Stanislav Landgraf, Lev Dodin, Sergei Solovyov, Nikolai Burov, Aleksandr Galibin, Olga Raevskaya, Andrey Krasko, Vladimir Vardunas, Nikolay Fomenko, Alexei Devotchenko, Roman Trakhtenberg.
