The art of theater is collective in nature, uniting the work of actors, playwrights, costume designers and various stage workers. Since the twentieth century, the theater began to be called director's theater, because the appearance of the director in the theater contributed to the organization of the performance as a single whole.

The first performance at the Astrakhan Theater for Young Spectators took place 11th of March 1933. It was the play “A Distant Path” based on the play N. Ya. Shestakova. At that time the theater did not yet have its own building and the performance took place on the stage of the Trade Workers Club on the street. Belogorodskaya (now Lenin Street). The theater troupe at that time was unprofessional; it consisted of amateur artists and radio committee workers.

Typically, the curtain opens at the beginning of the performance and closes at intermission and at the end of the performance.

(slide9-11) - Scene- part of the theater, stage, place of the main theatrical action. IN ancient Greek theater initially it was a tent in which actors prepared for performances. Modern theater usually uses a closed type stage, which is called stage-box. Its main feature is the presence of an enclosed space, separated from the auditorium by a wall.

(slide 12-14) - Decoration- any artistic decoration of an object or room. . The decoration of a building should correspond to its character and style, not violate its basic forms, but, on the contrary, show them with the greatest possible clarity and beauty. The word “decoration” is most often used to refer to accessories theater, having as their purpose to produce illusion the place where the action taking place on stage takes place.

In a modern stalls, seats for spectators are placed in rows parallel to the orchestra barrier, and are separated by transverse and longitudinal passages leading to exits from the auditorium.

“The whole world is a theater, and the people in it are actors” , says the classic. Theater has a certain influence on any of us, directly or indirectly. Even if a person does not visit the theater, he - one way or another - is related to it. And at every age we perceive theater differently.

Experiencing life through emotions

A unique period of a person’s life is childhood, the time of personality formation. Exactly at childhood special role dedicated to theatrical performance. Our children are provided with the most different kinds knowledge of life. These are artistic and animated films, various computer games, colorful educational toys, all kinds of entertainment. What about the theater? Is it really in modern world has the theater lost its relevance, significance, faded into the background? In no case! Theater was, is and will be the best emotional school of life. He is also a source of information about the world, a powerful stimulus for the thought process and the formation of spirituality.

Both spectator and actor

Theater has many functions: aesthetic, entertaining, communicative, socializing, gaming... But the most important, especially for children, is the cognitive function. Role-playing knowledge of the world, mastering the skills of coexistence with peers and adults, partnership skills, the ability to act in the circumstances offered by life, learning social experience - all this happens through images, colors, sounds, action. A child in the theater is either a spectator or an actor. At first glance these are fundamentally different positions in practice are interconnected and intertwined. The child never remains indifferent to what is happening on stage. His immediate reaction to what he saw and heard is manifested in the desire to help his favorite character, support him, and protect him from impending danger. Very often we observe how children begin to loudly tell artists that they should not trust a liar. They are upset when deception is still committed, and sincerely rejoice at the happy resolution of the conflict, and thus also become actors in the play. Children - best spectators, because they don’t hide their emotions. Directors of children's theaters are, as a rule, good teachers. When creating performances, they skillfully and consciously use a similar feature of child psychology, making the viewer a participant in the performance. Unique in this sense is the art of puppet theaters, where puppets play for children, and children communicate with the dolls. This is the closest relationship, because the toy and the child are inseparable. Puppet theater becomes the first theater in life for many children.

Professional opinion

Elena Osmanova, actress and actress Nizhny Novgorod Theater dolls, teacher of the theater school named after. E. Evstigneeva:

"Our theater is a world inhabited by puppets. Children believe in what is happening on stage, they perceive puppets as living beings with whom they can argue, help positive character and drive away the villain. Theater teaches children empathy, active participation, and this is the most valuable thing. Adults also enter the world of childhood and try to realize their emotions and experiences through dolls. They perceive their children differently, rediscovering them.

Theater for children is a source of knowledge, a way of interaction. Withdrawn children first communicate with dolls, and then begin to communicate with other children. A certain society of like-minded people forms in the hall. Theater is a kind, wise assistant, helping to find answers to questions, settle some of your problems, resolve internal conflicts. Children learn about the world around them through the prism of theater. Here we can see the moment of self-education, when the child says to himself: “I won’t do that”! The young viewer is left alone with what is happening on stage. Nobody puts pressure on him, he makes his own choice, and it’s always the right one. Theater is an ideal model of a world where good always triumphs over evil. It gives birth to the child’s conviction that evil must and can be fought. Through play, education is more productive, the conflict is brighter, there are no blurred lines.

In the early stages, it is important to convey to the child what good looks like, and where evil is hidden, under what masks it can be hidden. Children learn to distinguish tones and halftones in relationships, to recognize a beautiful doll in which the villain has hidden. They feel, hear, and see everything very keenly. This determines the main task of the theater - to evoke a response in a child’s soul, to teach empathy. Theater is a big emotional school."

Cultivating Kindness

There is something magical in theatrical art that gives a special atmosphere of joy and happiness. Each of us, having already become an adult, recalls with a degree of sentimentality our first visit to the theater (most likely, it was a puppet theater or New Year's performance); the first role in a kindergarten production (some kind of “Fly-Tsokotukha”); your favorite colorful Parsley, which you put on your hand and it comes to life. All this is so touching and unforgettable. There is so much warmth and nostalgia for the happy departed carefree childhood... And I want to do something good, give people love, make someone happier. Isn't this a miracle? Isn't this Magic power art! Theater for children becomes, first of all, a source positive emotions, he raises kind, honest, spiritual and sincere, beautiful and caring people.

Preschoolers are especially impressionable. They are easily emotionally influenced. Due to the figurative and concrete thinking of children, dramatization works of art helps to perceive their content more clearly and correctly. It has been noticed that a child understands the plot of the same fairy tale more deeply when watching a play than when reading a book.

Your child is a great artist

We can talk endlessly about the role of theater in a child’s life, but as the famous saying goes: “Less words, more action.” Therefore, dear parents, get ready, dress up, take your children and go to the theater. Enroll your precious children in theater studios and mugs. You will never regret it. At the very least, your child will become a great artist.
