Research showing a staggering increase in the number of young adults feeling anxious or depressed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic comes mere weeks before the start of a new school year, giving them and the adults in their lives one more thing to figure out. In order to draw attention to the problem of youth during the pandemic, association ART begins a #Quaran TEEN project, to launch a dialogue between teens and society during the pandemic. We are starting video production of texts written by Laurie Allen. This event will take place in social media like Facebook, Instagram and ART YouTube canal to raise awareness to the teen’s problems.
The year 2020 has made its own corrections in our life and in the theater. Sitting in quarantine, many directors could not work in their usual conditions and stage plays for large theater venues and stages. New conditions gave birth to new forms of work. This is how the Quarantine project was born. This is a theatrical project, filmed and edited by our friend, Alexey Zonov. Our distant friend from Israel, Ilya Borovitsky, also took part in the creation of this project.
In "Quarantine" teenagers talk about the world they live in, share their thoughts about the pandemic and the situation in which Covid 19 has brought people. The whole project is divided into several short episodes, narrated in two languages - Russian and English. Each of which can be watched separately or together as one movie.
The production uses the songs of the Beatles, performed by the artists of the «Teremok» Theater.
In the first half of 2021, as the world was still grappling with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we launched a bold and inspiring initiative — The Online Internet Musical — a musical created for children, by children! 🌍🎶
During a time when theaters were closed, rehearsals were cancelled, and the performing arts world faced immense uncertainty, this project brought a spark of hope and creativity. Young artists from the United States, Canada, and the Baltics came together virtually to create "Mary Poppins: An Amazing Story" — a joyful and imaginative production that defied the limitations of lockdown.
Despite the distance and technical hurdles, the children's passion and determination turned a difficult moment into something truly magical. Their work was honored with the GRAND PRIX at the IV International Festival-Competition of Performing Arts "Baltic Wave 2021", held at the Russian Culture Center in Tallinn. 🎭🏆
This project stands as a powerful reminder that even in times of crisis, art finds a way to thrive — and that the voices of young performers can shine brightest when the world needs them most.
The fee is $30 for one number, $55 for two, $80 for three - except theater performances.
