The company was happy to pay for the Arctic State Institute of Culture and Arts students’ accommodation and food.
Moscow visitors and locals alike have a chance to enjoy Tvoy Shans | GITIS Fest, the International Festival of Student Graduation Plays the city hosts from 15 to 30 April. This is a unique opportunity for students from Russian, Indian, Serbian, and Chinese universities to show their talent to the wide public. There will be 23 completely different plays.
The Arctic Institute’s students will put on a play called Pesn Letyaschei Strely (Russian for The Song of the Flying Arrow) and hold a folk singing workshop for their fellow theatre students. Andrey Belov will deliver a public lecture as the Institute’s professor and People’s Artist of Russia.
RNG has been a long-time supporter of GITIS and the Arctic Institute’s joint projects: for example, the company sponsored a production by Yakutia’s institute and Russia’s top theatre university, a great initiative and a project that counted as part of the students’ thesis. RNG also arranged for the Institute’s professors to upskill at GITIS right there in Yakutia and later, in Moscow.
