Two years ago, GITIS began to give higher education to make-up artists and in 2024 the university first had budget places for this specialty.

It is quite obvious that this profession requires knowledge in a variety of directions. The makeup artist should be an artist and a little doctor, since he should not harm the artist's face. The inclusion of this direction in our regional auditions is explained by the fact that we want information about the profession to become known to as many people as possible who did not know about such a happy opportunity, "said Grigory Zaslavsky, rector of GITIS.

2023: Digital consultation format launched for applicants

PJSC MTS"" Russian Institute of Theater Arts - GITIS and March 24, 2023 announced the launch of a digital consultation format for applicants. The first meetings of GITIS teachers with applicants will be held on a digital platform Webinar from MTS. The most worthy participants will be recommended for the next stages of admission to GITIS.

Our project with GITIS to organize digital consultations Russian in a creative university through the capabilities of the Webinar platform once again shows how the use of MTS ecosystem technologies contributes to the development of an affordable and high-quality environment, as well as an increase in living standards in the most remote regions. countries Digital solutions provide effective interaction between teachers and applicants, and at the same time significantly save time the funds of applicants - children from anywhere in the country will be able to participate in GITIS auditions in a comfortable environment for them - it is enough to register on the Webinar online communications platform and prepare a creative number. I am sure that such a digital format will help find new talents, - said the director of work with educational organizations Webinar Group Tatyana Fedotova.

For GITIS, the Generation M project has already largely become a strategic instrument of the university for the development of human capital in the regions, for which we are grateful to MTS. The most remarkable thing is that Generation M pushes us to develop regional auditions for GITIS in the republics and regions, except for those where there are their own acting schools and theater universities. This is due to the fact that talented children often do not grow up in the most wealthy families and parents are not ready to spend money on anything that does not guarantee a trip to the first qualifying round of creative auditions in Moscow. Therefore, it is important for us to hold the first round in different parts of the country. We also pay no less attention to the employment of our graduates. I think that the most talented children, after completing their studies, should return to their hometowns, which is facilitated by the GITIS project "Performances by creative teams in theaters of Russia and in Russian theaters abroad," said Grigory Zaslavsky, rector of GITIS.
