Director Alexander Balaban was removed from work in Knukim after he was accused of sexual harassment
He is accused of persecution, humiliation of students and harassment.
The actress and former student of this master Elizabeth Yakovishin wrote the first about sexual harassment by the director.
According to her, he made “anti -cells for students in a separate audience”, and also called them “prostitutes” and “Bl ## Pits”.
Balaban also expressed the idea of the sexual life of young actresses and sexually searched for some of them.
Another student, Elizabeth Pavlenko, in the comments under the post, writes that during a rehearsal, the director turned the girl with her back to others and without warning, who shot T -shirt.
At this moment, I felt completely defenseless, humiliated. I was just a rehearsal form – a black T -shirt, because we were ordered to walk without bras and tops under the pretext that supposedly contributes to our disclosure as actors, ”Pavlenko notes.
Some students instead spoke in defense of Alexander Balaban. For example, Evgenia Simonchuk says that he had never shamefully treated her or her classmates. She has been studying with a teacher for about five years. Another student Vlad Shklyark noted that Balaban became a “man from whom he could take an example of how to be worthy and not be afraid of obstacles.” He also believes that Balaban gives students everything you need to become an actor.
The Balaban director of the director is about 70 performances and documentaries. He worked as a director at the Academic Ukrainian Drama Theater Harkiv. T. Shevchenko, Theater of Academic Music of Odessa, academic drama and comedy theater Kyiv. He wrote the book “Behind the Cools of Cold.”
In Knukima, Balaban taught the following disciplines: “Actor’s skill”, “actor skill and plastic culture”, “scene language”, “actor’s work in the cinema”, “praramal practice”.
We will recall that earlier the teacher of the National University of Karpenko-Kari and the director of the Young Theater Andrei Bilos was removed from the educational process after accusing sexual harassment and sending obscene messages to students.
Subsequently, another teacher of the University of Karpenko-Kari, Yuriy Vosotsky, was accused of unethical behavior against students.
