Developmental possibilities of theatrical art. Organization of a theater group at a preschool educational institution

Theater Club

Many teachers working in the field of arts will not agree with the fact that actors are trained.
In order for a child to become a sought-after actor, he must be taught theatrical skills, cultivate a sensitive nature, able to correctly express his emotions and thoughts, empathize and sympathize. It is necessary to teach a young connoisseur of beauty to respect theatrical art and clearly understand it. To make it easier for parents and children to achieve the desired result in mastering acting skills, a theater studio comes to the rescue.

Theater arts classes are not mandatory, however, with their help, children will gain invaluable experience that will definitely be useful in a bright future. If the teacher is truly a professional in his field, then he will provide support to every child: both those who are overly proud and, on the contrary, those who are too shy, in finding their own “I”, will help to show their talents and hide their shortcomings.

A performance is, first of all, interaction in a team. The ability to work in a team, take responsibility, correctly use the freedom that is provided in certain circumstances, respect for one’s own feelings and the feelings of others - teachers teach all this in the theater club.

Who needs it?

Interest in theatrical art is explained primarily by the study of national culture. In addition, the game can develop observation skills, schoolchildren and preschoolers learn to focus attention on specific objects, and stage imagination will not hurt anyone. The theater club, the program of which is unique for each class or group in the garden, is thought through from start to finish, so that after visiting it, children can learn the features of theatrical upbringing and education.

What do you mean by drama club?

The traditional age at which a child can be accepted into a drama club is 6 years old . But there are studios that teach the skill of transformation to children almost from infancy.

Theater arts lessons for children over a year old are conducted in a playful way and include teaching the following actions, which are initial theatrical sketches: growl like a tiger cub, meow like a kitten, and others. Based on all of the above, it is concluded that the age that is suitable for learning acting does not matter.

It is very difficult to understand what a child really needs, since no one except the baby himself knows this. Providing choice is what parents should be guided by when choosing classes that their young talent will attend.

Moreover, this applies not only to theater clubs, but also to any other sections. Putting pressure on a child is the main mistake that leads to undesirable results.

Active search and frequent change of clubs is not forbidden, because the child chooses which activities he will like and which he will never go to again. However, after each unsuccessful attempt to find what is needed, it is necessary to analyze the situation with the child and identify the reasons why the search was not successful.

It is difficult to predict whether a child will like to transform into characters from different works and perform in front of a large audience on stage. But it is important to appreciate and understand what classes in a theater studio mean for a preschooler.

Theater instills in children many vital skills, among which the most notable are:

Drama Club Program

Contents of circle work.

Main content

The theater group's activities consist of work on the stage implementation of the play. It is based on the principles of realistic theatrical art. This is a necessary condition for solving the entire complex of artistic and educational problems. It is necessary to help schoolchildren act in stage conditions authentically, logically, purposefully, and enthusiastically reveal the content of the roles available to them and the entire play in action and interaction with each other. Genuine stage action requires constant reference to life, comparison and evaluation of what is happening in stage conditions with similar life phenomena. It is important to develop students’ interest in such comparisons, to help them realize that the criterion of truthfulness and authenticity of behavior on stage is life. Particular attention should be paid to the ability to act with words, since, first of all, the thoughts, feelings, relationships, and aspirations of the characters in the play are revealed through the word.

Effective acquaintance with legends, traditions, rituals, games and

holidays of the Russian people: Christmas, Maslenitsa, Red

slide, Trinity expands the inextricable connection of art with life, with the origins

Russian people. Introduction to Russian folk genres: fairy tales,

songs, games, proverbs, teasers, counting rhymes.

Forms - improvisation of games, round dances, fairy tales, KVN.

• Forms and methods of work.
  Drama club classes include, along with work on a play, conversations about art, including traditions, methods and forms of national stagecraft. Joint viewing and discussion of performances, films, visiting exhibitions of local artists and the national theater. Schoolchildren perform independent creative tasks: oral stories based on books they have read, reviews of performances they have watched, essays dedicated to the life and work of one or another stage master, including actors of Mordovian theaters. Conversations about theater introduce circle members in a form accessible to them to the features of realistic theatrical art, its types and genres, to the work of a number of figures in the Russian and Altai theater; reveals the social and educational role of theater and Russian culture. All this is aimed at developing the spectator culture of the circle members. It is advisable to begin practical acquaintance with stage action with games-exercises, improvisations, etudes that are close to the life experience of the circle members, which find an emotional response in them, requiring creative activity and imagination. It is necessary to discuss sketches, cultivate interest in each other’s work and self-criticism among circle members, and formulate a criterion for assessing the quality of work. It is useful to carry out etudes-improvisations of an educational nature not only at the initial stage, but also later - either in parallel with work on the play, or during the rehearsal process itself. Educational etudes-improvisations, which are not directly related to the play being rehearsed, can also serve as a good emotional release and help to increase creative activity and the general tone of the work. Work on the stage embodiment of the play is based on its in-depth analysis (identification of the theme, the main conflict, the ideological aspirations and actions of the characters, the conditions and circumstances of their life, the genre features of the play, the author’s style, etc.). It includes a preliminary analysis of the play; work directly related to stage performance.

Theater is not just for actors

You should not think that there is nothing to do in the theater for those who do not see themselves on stage in the future. Theatrical art improves intelligence, trains memory and concentration. Numerous studies have shown that children who once took part in theatrical productions become harmonious individuals in the future. The world around them and people are perceived by them in a variety of manifestations. Creative individuals are distinguished by tolerance. All these qualities will be useful for modern children.

The main goal of drama club leaders is to provide children with the opportunity to:

As multimillion-dollar surveys have shown, no matter what field of activity is preferred in the future, one thing is clear - theatrical experience is never forgotten and only helps in mastering a particular profession.

The theater is a unique place, captivating with its special atmosphere and immersing you in a completely different world, distinguished by its era, costumes, and behavior of the people who lived at that time.

Theater gives you a chance to liberate yourself in the company of other people, get rid of existing complexes, and reveal hidden abilities and talents. In addition, a person studies the rules of eloquence, improves his diction and masters a secret technique, which consists in the ability to attract and interest listeners.

Working in a team helps you easily understand colleagues, get rid of difficulties that arise when communicating with other people, and find your place in a new environment.

Why is this necessary?

The large-scale goals of any theater club include the following tasks:

1. To expand the general artistic horizons of children and practically introduce them to the elements of stage literacy and the characteristics of a particular national culture.
2. To form correct ideological and aesthetic assessments of situations that are understandable and age-appropriate for children.
3. To develop the creative abilities of children, to cultivate their powers of observation, attention, strong-willed qualities, imagination, and creative initiative.
4. To foster in children a sense of collectivism, emotional responsiveness, the ability to feel and understand beauty, and demand for themselves and others.

All this can be solved by an interesting theater club. The program, according to the Federal State Educational Standards, should focus primarily on the ability to translate a work of art on stage, taking into account the rules of theatrical art. Let's look at several work programs aimed at teaching theater skills to children of all ages.

How to organize the work of a theater group.

During the circle’s classes, it is important to create conditions, a field of active activity in which the child’s feelings, experienced by him while reading fiction, would find their application, so that he could assist and really sympathize.

So, first we choose a fairy tale with the children and I write a script based on it. The difficulty lies in the fact that there are many children in the circle, but few heroes. Therefore, we have to add new heroes. Then I read the script to the guys, and we analyze what we read. It is very important that every child can express their point of view. At the end of the discussion, we find the main idea of ​​the text and the main idea that the author wanted to convey to us. After discussion, we assign roles. I try to take into account the children’s wishes and their capabilities. In the next lesson we read expressively. If there are incomprehensible words in the text, we explain their meaning and select synonyms to make it easier for children to memorize the text.

To convey the idea of ​​the work to the audience, actors must speak their lines clearly and expressively. Expressiveness is based on thoughtful analysis of text and the application of the fundamental principles of the art of reading, promotes the mental and aesthetic development of students, and also contributes to the development of their artistic abilities. Expressive reading is an integral part of any lesson in primary school. It has a huge impact on the overall development of children. It helps to improve the culture of oral speech, the formation of poetic taste, and helps to perceive a work of art as a work of art! If there is such an opportunity, then in classes I use the live word of an actor (recording). A big reward for me is reading a line correctly.

What about schools?

Schools, according to Federal State Educational Standards, should also conduct classes in theater clubs, and many teachers go further and combine literature lessons and theatrical elements within their classes. Such circles direct their activities to realize the artistic and aesthetic perception of children during extracurricular activities and comply with the Federal State Educational Standard. This is exactly how the theater club (2nd grade) is conducted. The work program in this case is a combination of several educational programs. During the classes, children will get acquainted with different types and genres of theatrical art, learn how a performance is prepared, and learn to evaluate the specifics of acting. The main objective of the course is to develop the child’s personality and his ability to work with a team.

The relevance of literary and theater circles is that it is possible to use theater pedagogy to develop a child’s personality, optimizing the process of development of speech, sense of rhythm, and voice. The educational program involves an interesting educational and cognitive process, when various areas of work are involved:

1. The foundations of spectator culture are being developed.
2. Performing skills develop.
3. Knowledge about the theater is accumulated.

Already the theater club program in the senior group introduces children to most concepts and knowledge, and at school this knowledge is improved, thanks to which students can overcome psychological inertia, develop creative activity, learn to compare, analyze and draw conclusions.

Features of the classes

The plan for a theater club should be drawn up depending on the psychological characteristics of the children and their age. Classes will allow children to develop in various directions: musical, theatrical, choreographic, psychological. Also, such classes will teach the child to think creatively, develop memory, and gradually achieve the goal.

A theater group can make a child fall in love with it; in the end, after several classes, only the most interested children will remain in the created group.

Program Goals

The main goal is to introduce children to spiritual and moral values ​​and develop personality through theatrical performances. The main objectives of any theater club include the following goals:

1. To cultivate humane feelings in children, forming in them an idea of ​​such important qualities as honesty, kindness, justice and their opposites - cruelty, cunning, cowardice. Develop the ability to correctly relate to your own and others’ actions. Develop a sense of self-respect and responsiveness.
2. Cultivate collective feelings. Children must be able to act in the moral interests of the team and behave correctly during the preparation and staging of the performance.
3. Develop creative abilities and introduce children to theatrical art. This is expressed in introducing children to different types of theater, stories about the features of theatrical play, because the main task is to interest them in this action.

Work with children

Class planning plays an important role in achieving your goals. Therefore, the theater group must work in combination of various types of arts. You shouldn’t divide your activities like this: today we sing, tomorrow we dance, the day after tomorrow we play. Each lesson should be filled to the maximum with all types of art, so it will be more interesting for the child, and the result will be achieved in a shorter time.

The theater club program should include reading with children based on the roles of classical works, plays, tales, and ready-made scripts. This way, the teacher will be able to immediately assess the situation, work with each child separately, and choose for each the role of the future performance according to his capabilities.

Tongue twisters have a good effect on speech development. To make it more interesting, you can put the children in a circle and give them a ball. The game is simple: whoever gets the ball in his hands says a tongue twister. The ball must be in the hands of each member of the circle for everyone to participate.

Option 1

We invite you to familiarize yourself with one of the work programs that are successfully implemented in the middle group of kindergarten. Theatrical activities allow children of this age to plunge into the world of fairy tales and magic, learn to transform, and this will have a beneficial effect on the development of children and their emotional sphere. It is necessary to introduce preschool children to the theater by preparing and showing dramatizations based on various works of art, and it is better to do this using the example of children’s favorite fairy tales. The work program of the theater club in kindergarten involves attention to such famous fairy tales as “Kolobok”, “Teremok”, “Turnip”, “Snow Maiden”. Each fairy tale has its own characteristics, each has its own idea, and preschool children must understand it through play and dramatization. Theatrical activity is an opportunity to influence the emotions and feelings of a child, and due to their natural impressionability, they absorb all messages like a sponge.

Who should attend the club?

The children's theater group is suitable for everyone, without exception. For example, a child may not like music school, or he may not have the predisposition or talent for singing or playing musical instruments. The sports section may also be completely different from the area in which the child would like to develop. The theater club will appeal to almost everyone, regardless of age, hobbies and preferences.

For modest, repressed and inactive children, classes in a circle will liberate them, teach them to love themselves, and increase their self-esteem. Quiet children will learn to develop leadership skills.

Hyperactive children will find exactly the activity they need in a theater club. After all, they play there, run, sing, jump, roll on the floor, “walk on their heads,” “stand on their ears,” and do other useful things!

Hooligan children here will learn discipline, friendship, the ability to work in pairs and a large team, independently achieve their goals, commitment, and kindness.

Fragment of the article “Play, Harmony!” from the newspaper “Vidnovskie Vesti” dated December 27, 2005.

“Play, accordion!” Harmony is a cheerful, speaking, sounding, melodious word! And if you look into the history of distant pre-revolutionary Russia, at a time when Russian merchants transported furs, leather, silks, chintz, Khokhloma dew, guns to overseas countries, one of the most prominent goods were balalaikas and accordions. Foreigners were especially surprised by the accordion: two wooden boxes connected by leather or furs emitted cheerful melodious sounds. Different provinces of Russia had their own unique masters - Tula, Shuisky, Vyatsky, Saratov accordions were in great demand. In those distant times, bazaars and fairs were held, peddlers walked, strong men and wrestlers came out, teams of troikas were harnessed to trotters - and in large Russian villages, both old and young, boys and girls, danced a square dance to the accordion from evening until morning. This is how folk holidays were born, which are still celebrated today. What are ditties without an accordion-talker, what is a song without a button accordion, what are dances? Come out, sing and dance, and the accordionists throw their fingers from top to bottom and in order. Party with all your heart, people.

How to choose the right script for a school theater?

So, after two or three months of stable classes, children remain in the circle who are interested in further classes, self-development, and they are ready for real rehearsals. Also, during this period of time, the teacher will become familiar with the potential of each member of the school troupe. It's time to choose a script.

The most important thing that the leader must remember is that the play for the theater group is chosen in such a way that every child gets a role in it with words, and there are no children left who will play silent people in the crowd.

Naturally, the choice of play must be justified and correct. Small children will not be able to participate in the production of classics, for example by Dostoevsky. They need something simpler, for example, the fairy tale “Cat House”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, and others. Children in the middle age group can already cope well with longer and more complex fairy tales, such as “The Frog Princess” and “The Tale of Tsar Saltan.” It will be interesting for high school students to stage classic works.

The script for the theater group must correspond to the event. For example, to participate in a talent competition, you need to choose positive and humorous ones, because people like to laugh. But such productions are not suitable, for example, for Victory Day; a calmer and more soulful performance is needed here.

The distribution of roles should also be carefully considered. Of course, you need to start from the wishes of the child himself, but also take into account the following point: give the children roles that are vastly different from their own character (a tomboy should try to embody the image of a calm and reasonable character, and a modest child should try to play the role of the main character or villain).

Common mistakes of a circle leader

Very often, a production ends up with incorrectly chosen musical accompaniment, or it occurs too often during the performance. It is worth remembering that the music should emphasize the main points, the genre should correspond to the chosen theme of the performance.

There are times when the director chose the wrong piece. In this case, children simply will not be able to perform the role well, play feelings and sensations with which they are not familiar, or generally understand the meaning of the production.

It is necessary to exclude complex sentences and incomprehensible words from the script; children simply will not be able to remember them. Replace with figures of speech that are more understandable and accessible to children’s knowledge.

It happens that the material is completely unsuitable for the audience.

Often, teachers, in order to improve acting skills and introduce a kind of humor into the performance, give male roles to girls, and boys get female characters. Only high school students can cope with such a task, and not all of them.

For the junior theater group, as we have already said, it is worth selecting scripts for children's fairy tales. But they should not be what they are used to seeing. It is necessary to make adjustments to the images of the heroes, for example, to make them more modern.

Stages of preparing a performance

A children's theater group should work at least three days a week so that young actors do not have time to completely forget all previous rehearsals and theater lessons. This is very important for creating a complete and interesting performance.

So, what needs to be done to make the production memorable not only for the audience, but also for its participants themselves?

Immediately from the very first rehearsal, the circle leader must seek from each actor a believable performance and correct interaction with the other characters. If you initially allow incorrect play, then in the future it will be very difficult to correct it, since children very quickly remember both movements and manner of speaking. Show yourself how to move and communicate with your stage partners correctly.

Features of working with high school students

The drama club at school should not be like serious lessons. Teenagers who attend classes are already tired of the complex curriculum, and there they are children to teachers. The leader of the circle should trust his actors more, listen to their opinions, and not work on the fact that the main leader here, and everything needs to be done as he said.

Ask the children to help select a piece to perform. Select several of the most interesting scenarios and vote together for the one you will stage on stage. It’s also worth involving the guys in the selection of musical accompaniment. Young people know better what their peers like. Such teamwork will unite the team even more, and each participant will be proud of their contribution to the performance.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that teenagers are impulsive; do not allow quarrels between them. Try to teach children to find alternative solutions that will suit everyone.

Program directions

The work program of a theater club in kindergarten involves the following activities in the classroom:

1. Theatrical and gaming, the task of which is to develop the play behavior of children, to develop their ability to communicate with peers and adults in one or another life situation. In this block, the teacher conducts games and exercises that develop the ability to transform, organizes theatrical performances, which allows children to develop their imagination, and performs poems and fairy tales.
2. Musically and creatively. At this stage, the teacher includes musical, plastic, and rhythmic games that develop the natural psychomotor abilities of preschoolers. In this block, the exercises are aimed at developing the motor abilities of preschool children, their dexterity, mobility, and sense of rhythm.
3. Artistic speech. This type of activity involves playing games and exercises that will improve speech breathing, form correct articulation, intonation expressiveness and logic of speech.

The theater circle should pay great attention to the basics of theatrical culture. The program should help children understand what theater is, what its essence is, who the actors are and what role they play.
