About
Anatoli Vassiliev is one of Europe’s leading theatre directors, researchers, and pedagogues. He trained at GITIS (the Russian State Academy of Theatre Arts) under the tutelage of Maria Knebel and Andrey Popov, before directing internationally acclaimed productions such as Cerceau (1985), Six Characters in Search of an Author (1987), and Medea Material (2001). Vassiliev founded the School of Dramatic Art in Moscow in 1987, for which he served as Artistic Director until 2006. He was head of the directing course at the National Higher School for Performing Arts (ENSATT) in Lyon from 2004 to 2008, and moved permanently to France in 2006.
