Alla Grigorievna Kigel (Алла Кигель) (born 1932) was a Russian theatre director.[1] She was one of a few female directors in the Soviet Union during the 1960s. Her work followed Stanislavski's system. Her father, Gregory Lvovich Kigel (Григорий Львович Кигель), was a theater designer.[2]

Education

In 1945, Kigel made her directorial debut at her school with Balzac's Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes and an adaptation of Pushkin's The Gypsies.

In 1950, she was refused admission into the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts. Kigel instead pursued a career as a criminal lawyer, and gained a master's degree in law, from Moscow State University in 1954. In 1956 she enrolled in Shchukin Theatre School.

In 1993, Kigel took a course in Public Relations at Columbia University.
