Skiba Tatiyana

Honored Artist of Russia

Tatiyana Vasilyevna Skiba, Honored Artist of Russia, was born on October 14, 1969. In 1991 she graduated from Mikhail Shchepkin Higher Theatre School (course of Y.M. Solomin) and was invited to join the company of the Maly State Academic Theatre of Russia.

From the very first years of playing on the famous drama stage, the young actress has been actively involved in the theatre’s repertoire. Tatiyana’s creative work is enriched with leading, central roles in the performances of the modern and classical repertoire.

The stage charm, fantasy, bright artistical temperament, high professionalism, diligence, desire for constant creative search, serious and conscientious attitude to work, devotion to the traditions of the Maly Theatre - all these qualities distinguish Tatiyana as a remarkable actress. She is an actress of many and varied moods and has portrayed an eclectic array of characters over the years. She can funny, she can be lyrical and tender, yet persistent and brave.

Among the characters she brilliantly portrays are kind, self-sacrificing Gerda («The Snow Queen» by E. Schwartz), and the simplehearted Florestine («The Guilty Mother, or the Other Tartuffe» by Pierre Beaumarchais), and naive Anya from «The Cherry Orchard» and surprisingly sensitive, suffering Sonya («Uncle Vanya»), while the other Chekhov's character - Sashenka («Ivanov»), to the contrary is a little «Flapper», who knows perfectly well what she truly needs from life and trying to achieve it by any means.
