Study and job
Andrij Kritenko was the son of the theater actor and director Jurij Kritenko ( Юрій Григорович Крітенко ; 1938–1997) and a ballet dancer in Kiev. After graduating from high school, he studied from 1981 to 1987 at the acting department of the State University of Dramatic Arts in Kiev. The first two years he was in the class of Arkadij Hashinsky, a student of Tarkhanov, who had been the leading actor in Konstantin Stanislavski . Then he moved to the directing faculty in the workshop of Eduard Mitnitskij (a student of Leonid Warpachowski, who in turn was a student of Vsevolod Meyerhold), the director of the "Academic Theater of Drama and Comedy" in Kiev. Kritenko made his debut in this theater in 1986 as a director with the play "Zwei Baba Jagas ", which is still in the repertoire of the theater today. During his studies he completed a one-year internship in Moscow with Anatolij Efros, the main director of the theater "Na Taganke". Since 1986 Kritenko has directed various theaters as well as in the independent theater scene that was flourishing thanks to perestroika . From 1988 to 1989 he did military service in the dramaturgical department of the "Central Theater of the Soviet Army" in Moscow as a dramaturge under the leadership of the well-known Russian director and professor of the GITIS Institute in Moscow, Leonid Kheifets. After the collapse of the Soviet Union , Kritenko worked as a director with independent theater groups in Manchester and London (1992). From 1992 to 1994 he was also a lecturer in acting theory and practice at the State University of Dramatic Arts in Kiev.
From June 1, 1994 to December 31, 1995 he was a scholarship holder of the Stuttgart Akademie Schloss Solitude . There he got to know many German and international artists and freelance theater professionals, with whom he realized a number of projects.
From 1996 to 2005 he was a permanent member of the theater ensemble of the Theaterhaus Stuttgart as a director and actor. For reasons of immigration law, Kritenko was not allowed to work as a freelance director in Germany until 2001. In 2000 he became a member of the German Center of the International Theater Institute . From 2001 until his death in 2019 he had a teaching position for role and basic lessons at the University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart .
