The actress with unique energy, sincerity and Belarusian soul falls in love with herself at first sight fans of theatrical art. Ekaterina Direktorenko since 2004 remains faithful to the theater and rarely shown in films.
Love of music and theater
Ekaterina Vyacheslavovna Direktorenko hails from a small Belarusian town with the funny name Gorki. From childhood, her interests were versatile: Catherine dreamed of becoming a journalist, could sit at the library day and night for books, professionally studied vocals, for a long time was involved in the modeling business, but in the end, unexpectedly for herself, she chose the theater at 16. The young actress was lucky - in GITIS, in the workshop of Leonid Kheifets, budget places remained, and after listening, Ekaterina Direktorenko became a happy student of the country's main theater university. She was lucky even doubly - after the first year of the Moscow Art Theater School, she was allowed to immediately enter the second year.
Catherine’s course was truly “starry.” Arthur Smolyaninov, Maxim Zykov, the Panchiki brothers, Anna Zdor and other talented actors of our time studied with her. With Arthur Smolyaninov, Catherine had a long romantic relationship.
Unequal marriage
The real shock to the public was the marriage of Ekaterina Direktorenko with actor Kirill Emelyanov, who at the time of the celebration was just 18 years old. In a marriage with Catherine and Cyril, two sons were born. And, according to Catherine, despite her youth, her husband copes wonderfully with the role of father and breadwinner of the family.
Unfortunately, this marriage recently broke up, but, according to Catherine herself, everything happened due to emotional exhaustion, which often happens with creative people. Former spouses remained colleagues and are often found on the same stage.

Works in plays and films
In the movies, the actress Yekaterina Direktorenko is quite difficult to meet - more often these are episodic roles. For example, in 2004, the actress starred in an episode of the famous film "Shadow Boxing."
The real love of the actress is work in the theater. The School of the Modern Play creates interesting, in the spirit of the times, performances, often on the works of contemporaries. Catherine’s work in the play “Russian Jam” based on a work by Lyudmila Ulitskaya was forever sunk into the souls of theatergoers with a lively character. The recent Prank performance of the young director Nikita Betekhtin, which is a kind of “breakthrough” in the work of the theater, also impresses. The performance takes place in the cafe and the courtyard of the theater, the audience can watch it directly from their tables, not looking up from the meal, and even take a small part in the action. The bonus is food and alcohol, which are already included in the ticket price. In this theater, "edible" performances become a tradition.
Also, the striking works of Ekaterina Direktorenko are the roles in the performances “The Babi's House” by Alexander Demakhin, “Moscow. Psycho ”by Andrei Zholdak,“ Are you in a tailcoat? ” Dmitry Sukharev, "Russian grief" by Sergey Nikitin and many others.
