Memes from Moscow

It's been two weeks and I'm still processing everything that happened during our Moscow month. If I'm honest, I'll probably still be processing a year from now. There were so many highlights - ballet at the Bolshoi, touring Chekhov's house, wandering through the Cosmonaut museum, haggling over matryoshkas at the Izmailovo market...I'll stop now.

Ok, one more favorite.

Our acting tutor, Vera Babicheva -



She was a part of the Moscow Art Theatre for years, has performed just about everywhere in Moscow, and has taught at Gitis for over ten years. She loved to yell at us in Russian and often, but it was always for our good. She was loud and blunt and amazing and gave us a gem of a quote just about every ten minutes.

What to do with these bits of authentic Russian acting wisdom, you ask? Well, we are on the internets of course, so the logical answer is...

Memes.
Definitely memes.

So without further ado, some common Russian acting sense via grumpy cat and all her friends.









I hope you all enjoyed the products of my Monday night. This is what happens when you finish your logbook early.

To Vera and all her Russian glory,
