Students' impressions

Faculty of Contemporary Arts – what students have to say

“FCA made an excellent job of shaping me as an actress and preparing me for what was to come”

To me, FCA is one wonderful and grand experience. At first, we hang out with others from our class, and later, with further development, we also collaborate and help each other. All these friendships and collaborations are for life. And that is the real thing. FCA made an excellent job of shaping me as an actress and preparing me for what is to come.

Teachers helped us during our studies, we produced plays, and still as students, we played shows in National Theater. We were on TV, even in the beginning of our studies, we were getting familiar with the camera, learning how to speak on TV, how to act. FCA gave us an array of skills in order for us to be able to work in the future, become somewhat successful and avoid becoming actors with no job.

The Faculty of Contemporary Arts is a place that develops and nurtures the potential of young talented people.

Transferring knowledge and the joy of creation in the artistic process allows students to develop, perfect, and refine their potential while simultaneously making their art more visible in professional and artistic circles, even while they are still getting their education. I see the Faculty of Contemporary Arts as an educational institution that relies on traditional pedagogical schools and movements in art while simultaneously keeping up with modern pedagogical outcomes in the field of dramatic art. A message for all students: “With art, good is more beautiful and evil is easier.” (I. S. Turgenev).
