Adopted text on the work: School of performance is a part of an extensive project called School of avant-garde which Avdej Ter-Oganjan started in 1995 and which continued until 1998. The first group of students he worked with included students of different ages with non-artistic backgrounds and their cooperation did not last long. The second group included mostly Avdej´s son´s David´s friends who were of more or less the same age. The project was an experimental introduction of inexperienced and naïve teenagers into the world of art. A couple of years later, after Avdej who had been persecuted in Russia received political asylum in the Czech Republic, several students (David Ter-Oganjan, Alexandra Galkina, Piotr Bystrov, Pavel Mikitenko, Ilja Budraitskis and others) founded a group Radek Community which soon became very successful throughout Europe.
