Starting in 2001 professional training cycle for actors and directors of the drama theater at KhSAC, in parallel, an experimental workshop for theater research "ECMATEDOS" was created. The process of studying in the creative workshop "ECMATEDOS" does not follow the classical model. The education of school students is the creation of a parallel world of the existence of a creative person both in real life and in the play. This is what the work of the creative laboratory is aimed at.
As a method of teaching acting skills, an original method of mastering the complex profession of "drama theater and film actor" has been developed. In EKMATEDOS, the actor is not taught, but brought up according to the laws of creativity, which coincide with the views historically fixed by the methods of work of outstanding directors-teachers.
Studying the theater schools of the world, actors and directors of "ECMATEDOS" in theoretical and practical classes explore the specifics, scientific, practical and methodological heritage, a certain symbolism of both external and internal depth of each school, regardless of its geographical location on the globe.
In "EKMATEDOS" authentic sources of theatrical art of Japan, Africa, America, Europe, etc. are studied. This is carried out in order to expand the worldview of future theater specialists, increase their professional level and experience, enrich the practical baggage of the skill of the actor and director. In the process of professional growth, it is the study of theatrical practical experience of various schools of the world that helps actors and directors to approach and understand the concept of the parallel world of human existence.
