    Director and actor of Yerevan state theatre of pantomime Yuri Kostanyan
    conducted courses in the building of Narekatsi art center of Shoushi
    from January 5 till 13.

    The participants of the one-week course were the young actors of
    Stepanakert state drama theatre and the state theatre after Mkrtich
    Khandamiryan of Shoushi who are now second-year students of Yerevan
    State Institute of Theatre and Cinematography.

    According to Yuri Kostanyan the children of Artsakh are cut off from
    the hectic theatrical life which prevents them from perceiving the
    diversity of the theatrical world but, according to him, the aspiration
    the youths have is quite satisfying.

    Comparing the way he passed with the first steps of today's young
    actors the director remembered his own first steps in the theatrical
    world. ~SAt first I did not imagine at all I could choose the actor's
    career as it seemed a remote and sacred mission to me, I thought how I
    could rank among such actors as Mher Lazarian, Xoren Abrahamyan, Sos
    Sargsyan. That is why I entered the department of economic cybernetics
    of Yerevan State University, then I was a senior scientific worker. I
    was at quite a mature age when I went to Moscow and asked Leonid
    Yengibaryan to let me participate in their rehearsals as only after
    watching rehearsals one can enter the theatrical world and feel the
    true taste of theatre. And later in Lithuania due to Modris Tennison
    I got familiarized with the secrets of pantomime.

    Yuri Kostanyan says that pantomime is closer to him. ~SThrough
    words man tries to present himself better than he really is while in
    silence people are more perceptible. I think each masterpiece of art
    was created in silence or from silence.~T As a director, however,
    Yuri Kostanyan also uses music in his performances.

    According to him up-to-date performances must be staged so that
    the spectator could find himself in the performance. ~STheatrical
    life lies in eternal searchings,~T the director says and recalls,
    ~SOnce I wanted to stage Lermontov's ~SMonster~T. When I started
    the preparations I understood it was irrelevant to today's spirit,
    I changed several extracts and in the end I found out that nothing
    of Lermontov's ~SMonster~R remained.

    Yuri Kostanyan is going to visit Artsakh in summer to conduct the
    regular courses and check the tasks the youths have.
