Adabashyan in an interview.
come to the theater, the child looks, empathizes, is involved in the action.Performance for children are often constructed so as to engage young audiences in what is happening on stage.They seek heroes, ask questions, ask for stamped or pat.This pauses (which is not on television and in cartoons), during which it is possible to understand what is happening.
Children's performance?It is interesting!
What should be the play of children, the desire to call again and again to come to the theater?
First and most importantly - it should be interesting and understandable.Therefore, we must take into account the age of the audience for whom the statement.Performance for children 6-7 years will be difficult and uninteresting for the three-year kids.Not to mention the teenagers who all these "Towers" and "The Princess and the Pea," the gift is not necessary.And the youngest viewers, on the contrary, lead to a better staging and preferably familiar favorite fairy tales.

Herringbone, burn!
alone among theater are New Year performances for children.This is a special genre that has its own laws.New production certainly should be fun, colorful and musical.It usually has the magic, intrigue and a happy ending with the singing and dancing around the Christmas trees.Children of pre-prepared to march on festive show: costumes or wear their best clothes, learn poems and songs.Therefore, directors and actors are trying to do everything possible to keep this joy in the soul of the child: include performances of dance and circus, light effects, skaters and so on.

story should be simple and recognizable, especially if the "actors" are not yet enrolled in school.In addition, this formulation is necessary to consider several points.It is advisable to choose a scenario that will engage everyone.The characters should not be too many words, because the children are worried, tired.Be sure to consider the suits, or at least the attributes specific to specific characters (Little Red Riding Hood - in cap, apron and carrying a basket, cat - with ears, paws and tail, gnome - a pointed hat and so on. D.).Kids love to dress, and dressed it will be easier to get used to the role.
And most importantly - do not take it too seriously event: a grueling rehearsal, irritation and pressure of the adult "director" - all this will create fatigue and nervousness, but not the holiday spirit and the joy of creativity.More praise and encourage children kidding yourself enjoy the process.Then your performance will be held on the "cheers": actors and spectators will spend great time and will be glad to ever do it again.
