Who we are

• We are researchers of the "miraculous". We observe and study the processes of emergence, genesis, and the creation of products of artistic value. We examine these phenomena in art, nature, and human society.

• We are those who have primarily a scientific cognitive interest. We prioritise the discovery and awareness of the laws governing the emergence of impressive creations, unlike artists, with all due respect to them, who primarily focus on their creative productivity. But, on the other hand, we are not “Pharisees” and not “scribes” who are focused on written monuments of past times; we are practical researchers, “armed” with modern knowledge, primarily of natural sciences and philosophy.

• We are a specific community of actors, directors, musicians, artists, scientists, businessmen, who are striving to resolve particular problems of communication, understanding and perception, issues with self-expression and expressiveness, most of which have an inherent creative nature. We search for and find effective algorithmic and heuristic solutions, which, as a rule, we compose into generalised hypotheses, and synthesise in the form of cognitive/research frames (laboratory works) of educational programs.

• We are seekers of harmony and integrity, who “stand on the fact” that the creation of beauty and the complication of order are related things, and that, in turn, simplification and reduction are tools, or a path towards disorder and chaos.

Our fundamental beliefs

• Artistic culture is formed by artistic creativity and its fruits.

• Artistic creativity is a refined human activity, inspired by the awareness, feeling and understanding of the divine nature of creativity exclusively based on love.

• Imagery is the format and language of creativity, its “syntax and semantics”.

• The miraculous and incomprehensible are the exclusive subject of the philosophy of creativity.

• To bring the topic of “Imagery” into the general cultural discourse.

• To achieve recognition of the subject of “Imagery” as a core subject among numerous creative academies and universities.

• To establish an interdisciplinary institution, the purpose of which will be the implementation of the fundamental provisions of the Theory of Imagery regarding the "Art of Impressions" in contrast to the currently dominant "culture of influences"

• To open in the future numerous "Schools of Imagery", which will work according to the programs and methods of the IMT.

What do we strive for?

What are we doing?

• We practically research the phenomenon of Imagery, primarily in the art of acting, as the factor that transforms skill into art

• We organise and conduct laboratories, trainings, workshops and master classes on topics corresponding to the achievements of the IMT, namely, various subjects that are already embodied in the "School of Imagery" (https://shkobr.com.ua).

• We participate in conferences, festivals and research projects of European universities

• We publish our meaningful materials both on the pages of the sites, social networks, and in classic books...
