I will begin to analyze my site openly and objectively.
For two years I have changed due to work on my site
I really love this work.
I started with the idea of making a gallery for my artwork.
I created a website where visitors can see my work and buy them, and there is a connection with me.
Unfortunately they contact me through the mail only bots, which I clean every day and drive into spam.
Working with the site learn me how to photograph my painting correctly.
I dreamed that visitors will buy work through the site, because my account is connected.
But visitors are afraid to do it.
I read a lot and understand that this is a disease and the problem of all artists who have personal websites.
I am grateful that I still have letters. I read each letter before I send it to the basket.
So I am very grateful to those rare comments, like this:
Thank you.
I will continue to work.
I want to note that I was not at all desperate that my paintings are not sold on my website and started selling paintings through other sites.
I chose several.
Only working with them, I began to determine which painting publish and what is interesting, and what is not.
Now I’m going to open new accounts in the next months and expand sales.
I believe that it is very beneficial for a creative person to work through the Internet.
Exhibitions distract and tire.
Exhibitions take time.
It’s contacts, but often the loss.
At this time it’s just a show and for an artist this is an entertainment.
A little about the quality and style of drawing.
I try a lot and experiment
But I’m still working with oil on canvas.
I work with acrylic, it’s hard for me. I feel it . So I stay working in oil on canvas.
I experimented a lot with styles. I painted landscapes, portraits, created 3D panel paintings and today I returned to the beginning of this period(2014-2015).
An image of a woman ,silhouetted a woman.It close to me.
I will continue to paint landscapes. And this will be a big size paintings. But I have so many ideas to draw a female image.
I will continue to create my own collection of Petrikiv paintings.
My goal is to create such an amount to make a very beautiful exhibition of them.
I understood one wisdom.
It is not necessary to pursue popularity.
Much more expensive-to keep your style and manner of drawing.
And at exhibitions the main thing is not the quality of your paintings , but a beautiful frame and the ability to properly decorate the part of the hall assigned to you.
Summer, summer ,summer.
And I try to rest. My son gives me a bicycle. In the Toronto between the parks there are bike paths.
It is practical and healthy.
So you can go around a lot of places.
I’m doing it. On the main page of this website I put a video,where I ride a bike.
I noticed that I do not publish my photos and videos a lot.
I will do it more.
I wish you good warm summer days and wonderful mood.
Do you like to read stories? I will not wait for an answer, I am writing to you the story of one of my paintings with all its incidents and events ,which happened to it. First, I created a theme. The topic was a naked woman emerging from the water.
For this image, I took my photo, changing it in a special program for photos.
I liked the idea, I caught on to it very much and quickly sketched the sketch and the picture itself.
When I burn with energy, nothing can stop me. It’s a pity that age reminds myself and six hours of continuous sitting behind a drawing floats out into very swollen feet.I am old.Yes,I am. I’m already getting old. So I’m in a hurry, that’s why I’m open, that’s why I do what I can and I want. I sketched a sketch and quickly drew a picture and upload at Artfinder and Saatchi.
That’s how its looked.I named ,,Naked,,
For a whole month I was busy with work and did not watch the sites.
I came home hungry and tired, ate and went to bed.
The next day I ran early away and it’s continued for a month. At the end of the month, before the shooting, I was in the city for several days from morning to night. Once I wore uncomfortable shoes, and I had to go to the store and buy sandals during the break, between the work.
The month of June is over and I thank,that month passed.
When I became free, I looked at the site. My sites were dead. No views, no purchases. No likes.
I looked at the picture, the last one. I love her. What I see in her, maybe I can not see anyone else. In her idea: ,,A woman ,who emerged from the water,,. I managed to pass a second.
But it turned out to be an extraordinary
When people came to me, they asked me, standing at this picture:
-What is it?
They did not understand, they did not see what I saw in this picture.
I explained to them that it was a naked girl, emerged from the water.
They stood, smiled, looked and spoke:
-It’s still not clear…..
One day,when the paints on the canvas dried up, I took the brush in my hands and began to add shades and layers of oil paint. I drew with such inspiration and passion that I had a dream that I saw. The painting revived and shone in a new light.
I changed the main photo on the pages of Artfinder and Saatchi.
Called the picture,,The Survival.”
And wrote a little story about her in the forum in Artfinder.
For the end of day I had a lot of views and even one from UK postponed the painting to buy.
I’m satisfied, I went to bed.
The next day I thought that this painting is very expensive and important to me. I prepared all my sites together and put everywhere one price-1800 dollars. I had to change the price on an Artfinder from 1300 to 1800.
And my client changed his mind.
But the painting remained with me 🙂
And here I was thinking of creating a series of paintings of this size, kind and theme. I will soon go to the exhibition and I need a topic. So this is the topic.
My ” The Survival,” survived.
Go through the many of galleries I now and I see many artists create something that is fashionable and bought quickly.
But I always stop in front of the paintings that has a theme. Fashion goes through:deer, owls and horses, blue or blue or golden. Create a theme for them- is another,its right,its theme.
My painting live. And let my ,,The Survival,, open his throat.People say it’s an open throat, it’s looks on the female vulva.
Hahaha…OK.
Whatever was like my painting, it’s unusual.
And I loves my painting, and she really hates me. My ,,The Survival,,That’s my small story about my new painting.
The celebration of the 150th anniversary of the formation of Canada come to the ending and I will calmly tell about some events of the past weekend.
Firstly, I was celebrating understanding, I will not live so much 🙂
Great!!!!!!
Congratulations,Canada!
Celebrate in a big way only newcomers,with noisy companies and fireworks.
The Canadians preferred to escape from Toronto for the weekend, to surrender to the mosquitoes in the campings, or to fly to more hot places or an island near.
Today I will tell you about my favorite place in Etobicoke. This weekend it was open for visitors.It is Montgomery’s Inn.
This is the smell and style of the 18th century.This is an extraordinary spirit, located in an old house, thanks to the still living there old women from Montgomery’s dynasty.
The house is located near my house and I happily visit it, walking through the park.
Go from the subway,, Islington ,,through the park to the north only 500 m, the second traffic light on the right and you are on the spot.
This year, for the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Canada, the Montgomery’s Inn was opened.
Two dozen volunteers helped create the comfort of the 18th century.
On the terrace was a small mini-restaurant where you could have a small lunch.
The building consists of three floors.
The main floor is divided into two parts. One for guests and tourists. The second is a kitchen, a fireplace, a living room and a refectory.
In the kitchen, volunteers in ancient dresses cooked biscuits and prepare it according to old recipes.
Cookies, baked on charcoal, in a large fireplace on a special shovel. We immediately tested them.
Near the volunteer set up a picnic set of 1867.
She referred to descriptions from the book she presented to us.
In the next room there is a bar and a place where you can have fun, play cards or…..
If you want to take a photo in this cozy bar of the 18th century, ask the volunteers and they will organize it for you.
… I’ll show you this ancient game, I do not know what it’s called, it’s like our “towns,” or bowling You throw a suspended ball and you need to knock down as many balls as possible. The one who shoots down the most.
From the kitchen through the corridor the staircase raises to the second floor, where the bedrooms and social room.
I drew attention to the unusual ledges above each door on the top floor.
This is the place where the candles were placed.
This place is protected from wind and drafts and illuminated the room.
Here is an example of decorating a room! A great idea that the current architects have forgotten.
It is also reliability and protection from fire. The higher the flame is raised, the safer it is from the fire.
Was it cold to sleep on such beds?
Yes, it was very cold.
Probably that’s why a bed of this size, and three people slept on it.
A small bed was reduced by three people so that they warmed themselves 🙂
There was a fireplace in the room, but there was not enough firewood until morning and in the morning a person quickly dressed and lit a fireplace. As a rule, this was done by a husband or a servant in the lower floors.
The mistress of the house was very affable and caring woman, but she lived 48 years and died. By our standards, it’s early. But in those days, it was the average age of a person’s life.
There was no medicine or medical care.
On the windowsill you will see in the photo a set of vials-these are bottles with tinctures. They were primitive medicines that were used at that time.
Next to the decanter and a bowl of pottery.
In the morning they did not leave the room, but washed right there.
And the linen was dried in winter on special wooden hangers, putting them near the fireplace to warm up.
Washing clothes was a problem for Canadians with such severe winters.
It was very hard to wash large bed sheets and duvet covers. It was even more difficult to dry them.
Because this was assigned to the rooms at the bottom of the house and in the warm season was prepared in advance The bed sheets were kept near the fireplaces in the heat and smelled of burnt wood.
I was intrigued by this photo
What is it?
This is for shoes ,,take off,, 🙂
Shoes did not take off before and carried a whole day, until night.
Because it was cumbersome and that it was easy to remove, become a back to this device and a bottom-up movement, took off boots.
Of course and immediately to sleep, on the bed.(СOLD!!!!) Because it stood near the bed.
By the way, all things were stored in such small chests near the bed in the legs (see in the photo).
Go further from the hostess’s room to the servant’s room or children room.
The first thing that catches your eye is the pot under the bed.
Yes, in the old days there were no toilets. Or be patient until the morning or under the bed! 🙂
The room has a lot of beds and one caught my attention. This is the bed of a newcomer. 🙂
Beside him’s bed lies his trunk. With such trunks or suitcases, people moved from country to country or from city to city.
On this trunk is written # 5. This means that they, these trunks were many and it goes under number 5.
Emigrants used to move heavily and often did not return back to their country.
Here this wooden suitcase arrived in that year (1837) with his passenger (his name) through New York in the number of luggage and was the fifth in the luggage of his master.
Incredibly! Preserved, preserved!
More years to this chest than Canada itself !!
History!!!!!!History!!!
Next guest room It is modest and decorated with all necessary.
Next room is social room.
Yes, yes, yes, you were not mistaken. There were some rooms and they actively discussed all the cases and planned future events As we are, modern people are behind our ancestors! Because we are in our small rooms we catch TVs and turn off all social communication.
The room is large, spacious with a fireplace and a table where you can negotiate and sign treaties and agreements.
Again everywhere above the windows a place for candles. This room was well lit. It was important. Next I’ll tell why I paid attention to it.
We go to the floor downstairs in the part of the house where the people who came to spend the night, the guests
There are close and low ceilings and dark.
And under the windows there are no candels space under the windows or doors.
I asked, how do they light these rooms? Me replied that here people just slept( more often drunk) and come held candles in their hands. Since there was not enough room in the room and different people, for safety reasons they did it.
Several rooms are divided into services
There are only two people more expensive, and there are for a few, cheaper. If they paid the rooms they were heated. If they did not pay, they spent the night without heating.
So looked by our standards, the most expensive room for one person with all the services and warm.Sleep here could and two people together.Under the bottom is a place for a child.
Going down to the next floor bump into the inscription on the wall.
This inscription has its own story.
Montgomery’s Inn built in 1830 as a Georgian-style inn and as house was rented to tenant farmers by the Montgomery family until 1946.It was later owned by a Presbyterian church and finally transferred as museum to the City of Toronto.
The history of this sign is such that one of the new owners took all the old clothes out of the house and did not like this sign, “Montgomery”. He threw it into the garbage along with the things of the owner of the house.
One of the neighbors saw it and took it and keeped it over to the old masters of the house, Montgomery’s . They gratefully saved it and when the house came to life again, hung this sign on this wall.
Here is such a short story with a short excursion into the 18th century, for which I thank the Montgomery’s Museum.
I promised to tell about you and I did it.
If you?my readers, are interested in this house, then it is located at the address:
It’s always hard to write about what happens to you.My past month was very active.And I THANK for everything what happens with me in June 2017.
The Past Month
I went through five festivals in a row, and I sustained their intensity.
It’s harder than just working.
Summarizing, I will say that they are very different and can not be compared.
Some events were followed by others.
I’m very tired this month. There were many interesting discoveries, such as the extraordinary beautiful Scarborough became for me with interesting streets near the waterfront, the promenade itself with gorgeous sandy beaches and numerous parks.
I am amazed by the friendliness, hospitality and friendliness of people in Scarborough. This is ridiculous, but for each inhabitant of this district there are two dogs. Imagine, evening, walks the hosts with their pets. Everyone has one, two. And the owner and pet proudly walk. In the cars next to the owner or in the back seat is a huge dog.
It’s fine!
Another happened to me an intendant.I handed out flyers and invited to watch the movie in Scarborough Civil Centre near the subway.
I approached the passers-by, often the Chinese and gave them a flyer.
The answer was:
-I do not know English. I do not speak English!
It was amazing to me. They walk, live in modern apartments, pay rent, pay high bills and do not know the language.
For me it was a shock.
My second discovery was #Luminato 2017.I know that a few years ago this festival was created by a fanatically loving art woman.
This festival is now the most striking event of the summer. Not only actors, artists or creators are invited to it, it is a mix of the most modern trend in art.
The right choice of teams gives us, the viewers a full picture of the changes in all areas of art. And so it’s great to see the best groups,artists on the stage of this festival.
I enjoyed the performances of two Italian clowns, who for an hour held the audience, fascinating them with very simple stunt tricks.
I listened to the lyrics of a very interesting song ##LeanneSimpson
Then I immediately got to the Aboriginal Festival, and then wonderful things began to happen to me. I just remembered that a year ago I was in Fort York and dreamed of working here.
And a year passed, and I am among the assistants at this festival.
I spent three days in a team where everything was so hormonal. Thanks to its organizer Gabi.
Through our tent passed up to a thousand schoolchildren. Here Fort York ran in our masks, with flags and first aid bags.
And nearby there were other performans,very similar to our day of Ivan Kupala. By the way, this holiday was held on the most active day of the year, the day of solar fullness.
Whether from the amaizing team,or from the sun, or from children, I came home charged and very active, although I stood in the rain and did not rest for nearly 6 hours in a row.
I spent two days in the act…ART in the PARK.
It’s different representations, activities and activities in various parks of the city. This is a new direction. Even younger.
And if I liked Etobicoke’s park activity, where Mayor of Etobicoke came, conducted the orchestra, where a lot of people were sitting on the grass and listening to beautiful music,….. then the second one, in a tiny park under high-voltage wires, I did not like.I did not like North York activity in the park,becouse was not interested in the activity itself.
Drumming into the drums is still nothing. But bring the wool and weave on the street in the tent, litter. Bind the trees with threads …
Maybe I did not get to this level of grounding, but I understand that this is garbage.
And if this is a woman’s development, it should not be done in nature,should be in class, indoors.
But it was. I leave photo about it.
And that’s not it!!!!! I was a film filming, a wonderful team, a magnificent Allen, two madly crazy days spent together. I worked for the first time as assistant director, second director, #AD.
I wrote a shooting list and call list.
I did not work as a AD before, for me it was the first time.It was fun.
……….Armed with the knowledge of my specialty, I have to shout at the trial and watch everything, I came … Imagine me, not liking the noise at all, never raising my voice at anyone, and shouting !!!!!🙂
……….All turn around……..
I’m screaming:
-Attention!!!
Everyone was silent, turned to me.
And I’m quiet. 🙂 – Acting!!!! And the director to me (Allen):
-Please, be silent, do not speake, be silent………………
For me it was a lesson.
The difference between Ukrainiane and Canadian in the filming process.
Here was such a busy last month.
Because I was silent on this page.
Because I stopped in drawing.
Now I’m catching up to everything.
,,The past month has driven me to the up of the roof of my dreams.
Please, just do not fall.,, (Helen Polishuk) July 2017
So we are already in June.
Today is just such a time ,when one festival has already ended (Inside Out) and the second one has not yet begun(Scarborough).
Between two
It’s hard to describe yet the feelings of last festival.
Before the eyes of the petty-bourgeois, that the mixed feeling of understanding of everything.
I really liked the film about the singer Chavela.
This is documentary chronicles singer Chavela Vargas’s turbulen life.
Dramatic life randing from an affair with Frida Kahlo to Vergas’s stuggles with alcoholism and violence.Archival footage of performances and interviews with Chavela herself,her directors Catherina Gund and Daresha Kyi describe about a decidedly complicated women,an irreplaceable artistic force and lesbian icon whose voice manifests hearbreak,defiance and ultimate triumph.
I second time faced with the this singer and her history . For the first time, it was 2012, the summer when she died. I found out about her death in Facebook and listened to her songs.And posted in my page video with her.
I was struck by her deep head and manner of singing songs. I spent the whole day listening to some of them on video and peering into the face of an old singer in a pancho with gray hair and a manlike look. I remembered it.
And here again meeting in it……
Carier of famous soap operas actress Lainey Allen(Chappell) has came to end,just she won a Daytime Emmy.
Allen retiers and with her publicis and partner Eva Morales heads to a beach house on the California coast.
Their dream life has barely begun when a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s sets them on a new and unexpected
path.
The terrible truth about the disease makes everyone feel bad.
The film is the best film of this festival.
Spectators applauded standing and I cried.
I realized in a new way how difficult this disease is and how difficult it is for the family to cope with it. Very beautiful filming and I was surprised that the director was talking about inexpensive funding, based on the fact that there are few locations.
The truth of modern life says: Live for today Appreciate today
The next festival will be Scarborough Film Festivale from 6 to 11 June.
I’m waiting for it with impatience and I will tell about it on my page too.
Movies…….. movies…….. movies……….
Frames, beautiful shooting, dramatic plot-all this is related to my work.
Repent I write this post, time changes, the time of the year and month is changing.
The calendar takes us to the summer.
And what is summer?
What is summer?
This is 92 calendar summer days. It’s warm long sunny days. This is the night filled with the scents of the grass and the singing of birds at dawn.
Summer is always a lot of activities and entertainment.
I chose for this summer a lot of film festivals and filled all the days of summer.
Only in summer I want to wander around the city and look in the windows
of shops.
Only in summer I want sit in cafe with a cup of coffee. Only in summer I want take my dog Cindy and walk with her in the park to meet the joyful faces of passers-by.
What you can doing in summer?
Just nothing.
Put your head under the sun and sit as the old man screwed up his eyes, basking in the sun.
These old men remind me of buds of flowers, inclined to the sun.
They are filled with energy.
They are gaining energy for the winter.
In the summer birds sing exceptionally beautifully.
They have a special period, they are busy with chicks.
Their songs become sonorous and long.
Their melodies are endless and pleasant.
During the breeding period, they become attentive and caring.
And still I like flowers. Endless number of different colors present in the flowers. I really love the gentle lilies of the valley, but in the summer I admire the red peonies and poppies.
And what smell stems from the flowering of bird cherry and lime?
And now in result of connect everything together I get…….summer.
A wonderful summertime.
Already tomorrow…. It’s summer already.
I wind up my alarm clock in the early morning, so it’s still early, at dawn, to walk barefoot on the grass with the dew.
And then I cook coffee and with my favorite cup sit on the step and start to dream and plan, collect the coming day.
Write this post I started after today’s news in the newspapers about the real estate crisis in Toronto and Ontario.
We talked about the collapse of our mortgage company and what can we expect from this?
The absolute truth that the crisis has not touched the whole of Canada. For this thanks to the division of Canada into independent provinces.
And the crisis did not begin today, it has been marching for more than two years and was seen by unexpected dismissals of workers and the closure of large companies.
It was noticeable for a number of stops of financing for non-profit organizations.
And the government is struggling with the situation
The main thing is not to interfere with them
They have already raised the tax on the purchase of real estate by foreigners in Ontario.
They take steps, do them very carefully and reluctantly spread out.
I remember….
We wrote at the studio pilots in late 2016 and one of these pilots was about the crisis of real estate. The pilot did not pass 🙂 The project was closed 🙂
There are other symptoms, but I will not list them.
We are already in it, today.
I drink coffee today morning and there is a crisis.
How to live, what to do, what is my decision or vision?
The crisis was more than two years ago. Then various TV shows were on TV. I watched one of them and remembered.
The presenter asked one of the best realtors in North America about his attitude to the real estate crisis.
The question was asked this way:
-,,What if the crisis has come?,,
He replied:
-,,If the family lives in a big house, two generations-adults, a father’s faamily and a son’s family. They are cramped. Something must be decided.
Two options for this case.
One option is to sell the property and split.
The second option is to overstay or rebuild in the light of the new situation-to change toilets, to expand the area of the house.
I choose the second. In a crisis not to change the property, stay in the same and improve its quality.,,
I absolutely agree with him.
Resale will additionally disproportion in the sale / purchase and intensify the crisis. In addition, the purchase of property will not be identical to the previous one, but will be a step worse. And this is lower quality and not worth risking. Maybe in general very bad options. The truth is that everything around is collapsing and options for a good choice will not be cheap. The difference will be obvious.
You do not rise so, but go down.
The crisis increases the difference between buying and selling and if you take a mortgage, it increases the cost of your mortgage.
I analyze my practice and the situations that I have experienced over my years. This happened to me in the Middle East, in Ukraine, in Canada.
My advice, how to protect yourself from the crisis:
1.If the currency of the country falls by 30% is a sign of trouble. Red light,,dangerous,,,,be careful,,
Banks in such a situation are in danger, your loans and deposits are also at risk.
If you did not take your deposits before the crisis, if you do this during crises, you break the balance sheet and exacerbate the crisis./Thank you for being real estate course 🙂 /
2.Do not sell anything from your main property.
If you did not do it before the crisis, in a crisis this is a big risk.
Not to resell property- is a big mistake if you did not do it before the crisis.
Do not transfer excess , accumulated money in real estate is a big mistake if you do that with open new morgage.
During the crisis it is good to rent out.
The rental price will rise and will be adequate to the crisis.
3.To buy something from the real estate for the formed big money, the capital,in another place.Make something different this time.Do not gamble in the market, if you are not a professional player…. Do something,what give you money outside places of risk ( real estate,banks,deposite).Do your money in services and educations.
It will help you survive the crisis and have an independent capital.
These are my observations and my advice.
P.S.It’s very nice to receive such letters, they make me work.
Thanks you
Are you love, standing in front of the mirror, curling, read a monologue?I was.It was forty years ago. I loved my childhood. My childhood passed everything in the theater. We with my girlfriend have thought up and have made school theater. It lasted for some years and after graduation closed. I was playing there.
After forty years again I am in theater.I talk,then did not want play again.I saw many people,who still artist.I am artist,but last year I like not change and do not play like artist, and be myself and share my wisdom.
I came to the theater ,, Zagrava,,.
This is amateur theater in Toronto. I heard about this theater, but today he has become a part of me. The theater ,,Zagrava,, exists since 1953.
It was created by Ukrainian emigrants ,who came to Canada after the Second World War.
Ukrainian Drama Theatre,, Zahrava,, is an all-volunteer community theatre that was founded on June 5, 1953 in Toronto, Ontario by Volodymyr Dovhan.
History of the Theatre ,,Zahrava,,
The theatre’s repertoire included many Ukrainian classics, such as: Prokuror Dalsky, Advokat Martian, Motria, Myna Mazaylo, Suyeta, Kassandra, Ukradene Shchastia, Boyarynia; and European classics such as Charlie’s Aunt, Anouilh’s Jeanne d’Arc, Ibsen’s Ghosts, Gogol’s Marriage, Goldoni’s Servant of Two Masters and others. More modern works included: Moral Pani Dulskoyi, Kuriyer UPA, Taborova Kozulka (also presented as Hrikhy Molodosti), Prolisky, Ksantypa, Zavtra Znovu Ziyde Sontse, Korol Striltsiv, Neskoreni, Yuda Iskariot, Triumfalna zhinka, Nelehalka, etc. Works were specially written for the ensemble: Yevshan Zillia, Viva Boyko, Tanok Voli.
The productions took place on Toronto’s stages and then in various cities of Canada and the United States. The group has won many awards such as: best leading/supporting actors/actresses, best performance of the festival, best Canadian play, best costume design.
Josef Terlicki, who became Artistic Director in 1988 after the death of Volodymyr Dovhaniuk, directs ,,Zahrava’s ,, productions. Directors from Ukraine, Fedir Stryhun and Inna Pavlyuk, have worked on a Master Class basis with the group.
In 1990 the ,,Zahrava,, Ensemble conducted a two-week tour of the Ukraine, where it put on 21 productions in 14 days. Also in the 1990s ,,Zahrava ,,put on several dramatic montages for various community events.
Over the past few years, the ,,Zahrava,,has made a number of premieres and has fundamentally become the cultural center of the Toronto ukrainian community.
It is hard to survive in a new world, but there is an.
The last successor, the “Spills/Proliski”, was a success in Toronto and Montreal.
Now several new premieres are preparing.
I will write about them.
Today we will talk about the theater. The conversation will be long.
The modern world is changing very fast even yesterday we used fixed telephones.
Today we are connected with the whole world through the Internet in seconds.
Telegraph and cable communications were not popular.
Today much changes. It came to the movie, which is filmed in the pavilions mostly on the green screen for imaging
3D effect.It touched galleries that are more popular online.But today I’ll talk about the theater.
From the classical, theater has changed to dancing theater and musical.
A documentary theater appeared.
Actors tell on stage about events, give interviews, reports, show protocols and acts, statistical tables. The performance is composed in the form of monologues or dialogues.
Verbatim.WHAT IS “VERBATIM”
Verbatim theatre is a form of documentary theatre which is based on the spoken words of real people./https://www.theatrefolk.com/blog/classroom-exercise-verbatim-theatre/
The “Verbatim” technique – a creative group chooses a topic, and begins a survey of those real people, Which it was decided to interview for this performance. Very important questions. Questions are the beginning of the future concept of the play.
Actors with voice recorders record interviews, rehearsals are brought not only by interpretation of interviews, but also by scenic characteristics of the character.
Next – work on the play and play.
There are physical theaters as innovation.
As an example, we can say about the Meyerhold Theater/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vsevolod_Meyerhold/ , the Antonine Artou Theater/https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonin_Artaud/ .Pantomimes are included as opposed to movement.
Also the performans is accompanied by a Dance of Contemporary.In Europe, the physical theater is integrated with the verbatim and the DV8 company represents it.
A new drama is a new trend, a new kind of theater
This combination of relevance and modern language/http://www.inyerfacetheatre.com/archive8.html/ Its representatives are Mark Ravenhill/Mark Ravenhill /, Sarah Kane /https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Kane/
A separate stream can be called theaters-performances
Such a performance is played on a non-standard site and the actor lives by this performance
Spector of this kind may not have dramaturgy.
It can be a plastic performance, a performance of live music.
During the performance, interaction with the viewer, installations, modern technologies.
Always such performances carry an experiment.
Can you combine fiction and reality? Yes, if it’s performance.
A separate direction of the performances is storytelling
Begin as a tale. As a narrative.They are based on fairy tales, legends, myths or stories from life Consists of three components-it’s a story, narrator and listener.
As an example, the PiG Pen Theater /http://www.pigpentheatre.com/
Well, the performance-installation is built in general on acting, not on the stage or dramaturgy Combined with 3D projections, halograms Live pictures are created, where the actor as an object. This is such a legalization, calls, this form of performance.
Well, it becomes completely new when the audience is sitting in the hall all in headphones and listening to the sounds that the actor creates on stage.
Separately I want to tell about a new direction, which is connected with the new theater, the theater from Slovenia

You still say that the theaters have not changed?
Have changed and very much. No one is interested in the classical staging theater where the actors stand and talk. Such theaters do not collect spectators, exist as amateur ones and quickly disappear or death.
