Head of the music program of the "Tricky People" bar (since 2020), stage curator of the "Uspekh" bar at the FORMA 2019 festival, art director of the "Uspekh" bar 2018-2019 and the "Sady" club (2016-2018):
"The last few years have been quite difficult both for society as a whole and for each person individually. Problems require reflection, people need understanding. I would like to invite groups to the festival who speak with the listener in an understandable language, sincerely and without prejudice. "
The ideological inspirer of the festival, curator of the experimental poetry scene, DJ and founder of the Lipa poetry circle:
"The experimental-poetic scene sets several tasks for the artists. On the one hand, to blur the boundaries between genres, and on the other, to unite representatives of different disciplines in order to create new syntheses: music, poetry and performance. There is also one task for the viewer - to be open to something new and not always clear the first time. The result of these collaborations will be synthetic works of art, which will be created by local and famous artists throughout the country. "
Journalist, theater critic, curator, chief playwright of the Mobile Art Theater. He worked as a theatrical columnist for Afisha and chief editor of the Yandex publishing house project "I am in the theater". Collaborated with publications Colta, Vedomosti, Esquire, KROT; with theaters CIM, CDR, Praktika, Theater of Nations, Impresario and Gogol School; with the festivals "Territory", "Texture" and "Golden Mask". Author of research on the drama of the Russian avant-garde and the aesthetics of the new underground:
"The theater stage of the festival is the territory of a metamodern game with expectations. The new socialist realism of the Petersburg underground: funny because it is not scary, because it is not funny. The practice of the absence of new Moscow researchers: you do not see the performance, but the performance sees you. Bodies in space broadcast directly from the space of bodies. Theater on FORMA 2021 is not what it seems."
Founder and CEO of the agency and festival, lecturer at the Higher School of Economics, Ph.D. in cultural studies:
"This year I will try to do a great synthesis. I don't want to repeat the success of Collider. This project should be something completely different, but no less exciting from it. In addition, since I have never lobbied anyone for my curatorial programs, I want to show all the variety of artists I have dreamed of all these years. "
