Dmitry Efimov is the young pride of Tyumen, a wonderful actor, host of entertainment shows, mastermind and creator of the famous Europe plastic theater.
Leading from a young age
He was born in Tyumen on May 9, 1978. He studied at the 44th school, loved biology, geography, history. He was not among the excellent students and, like most boys, raved about astronautics. The outstanding talent of the actor, who knew how to make laugh and make the audience, like no other, began to show at a young age.
At the age of 15, Dmitry Efimov tried himself in the role of a host, led discos and entertainment shows in the local recreation center, sincerely dreaming of a theater scene. The impetus for the goal was the study at the Tyumen State Institute at the faculty of acting. In parallel, Dmitry played on the stage of the Drama Theater, whose actor he became in 2000 (after graduation).
Acting career Dmitry
The first works on the stage were such performances as “Home!”, “The Killing of Gonzago”, “Equus”, and the real fame came to Dmitry after the role of Khlestakov played in the “Inspector”. Everyone who was lucky enough to see this performance, received great pleasure from the talented game of Dmitry Efimov. The choreographic talent of a gifted youth was fully developed by the teacher Eduard Grigorievich Sobol - the main choreographer of the theater, who to this day remains Dmitry's native person, one might say, his second father. Efimov comprehended the director's science from him - from a man with a capital letter, who infected Dmitry with a dance, put a spark in him and showed the right way.
Theater Dmitry Efimov "Europe"
Dmitry, who is an actor in a drama theater, manages to combine his main work with a passion for his whole life, which is his brainchild - the plastic theater "Europe", which was a small amateur group several years ago. Cramped space, cassette recorders, emergency ambulances as special effects, collecting decorations on our own, tailoring costumes with our own funds - it all started. Gradually, the dance show that Dmitry created while studying in his second year, grew into productions, then sponsors, a producer appeared. Today, the theater of Dmitry Efimov includes about 70 people: three main staff and a preparatory group.
The theater has performed excellent choreographic performances: “One Hundred Minutes to You”, “Heavenly”, “Mowgli”, “Leave to Stay”, “Coma”, “Rain Man” and others.
"Europe" will conquer Europe
His performances are sold out not only in Tyumen and other Russian cities, but also abroad. They love Russian choreography in the West. Dreaming of conquering Europe, Dmitry began small: he took up European passers-by. For the 10th anniversary, the guys decided to dance near the Eiffel Tower. They turned on the music, the people immediately pulled themselves up. Several numbers had to be performed even for an encore. Yes, and earned 80 euros cheered up.
If we talk about money, in order to be afloat, you have to earn advertising dances, in night clubs and at parties. And even in such commercial projects, the guys give all the best, because they work for people, giving them a piece of heart. Dmitry Efimov recruits children to his team simply from the street, without any training and special education, focusing on the age criterion (15-23 years). At the casting, there is a selection of those who understand what “Europe” is and is ready to dance here. The most important thing is desire and gleam in the eyes, and technique and stretching are a matter of gain. Three weddings took place in the theater team; there are already young mothers. Not imagining life without dancing, they leave the kids with their husbands and come to rehearsals. Over the years, the theater has managed to raise children for whom dance has become the meaning of life.
"Europe" is happiness!
To teach several dozens of people to dance harmoniously and synchronously is not an easy task, therefore Dmitry Efimov, who has all the qualities of a skilled leader, sometimes resorts to the carrot and stick method. In addition, in addition to exhausting everyday rehearsals, it is required to prepare sets, costumes, and light. But the team knows how to set high goals and strives to fulfill them. Dmitry Yefimov’s Europa Theater is not only a dance school that has won many competitive medals and awards, but also a character school, a single, integral “organism” with very warm, sincere relationships inside. The participants themselves say: “Europe is happiness!” And looking at happy faces after hard rehearsals, where each dancer feels himself to be the main link in the creative process, you understand that such people who are in love with their hobby will have an interesting and vibrant life.
Dmitry is happily married, his wife Julia lives in France. There she works, studies and designs clothes. She doesn’t want to return to Russia, so Dmitry lives in two countries, because, being away from his homeland, he begins to yearn greatly.
