Art activities can enhance children's knowledge, cultivate their aesthetic feeling, strengthen their will, enrich their lives and guide them upward. Anyone who meets the above requirements, regardless of whether the content is ancient or modern, the incident occurred at home or abroad; The way of expression is stage, film or cartoon, even shadow play, puppet or Taiwanese opera. Performers, whether adults or children, can be called children's dramas as long as the content meets the needs of children's physical and mental development and according to the theory of children's physical and mental development.
Children's drama education is to let children experience the joys and sorrows of the characters in the drama through the medium of children's drama, and at the same time entertain themselves, enrich their lives and increase their knowledge.
1. Children's drama focuses on shaping the artistic image of truth, goodness and beauty and helping children establish life coordinates.
Because children are young, have poor judgment, have less opportunities to get in touch with society, have strong dependence on the external environment and have strong absorption psychology, there are few shadows of killing and hatred in children's dramas. The purpose is to establish an image of truth, goodness and beauty for children, so that children can follow this example and learn to imitate in life.
2. Simple structure and clear clues
The structure of children's drama can be divided into several stages: beginning, development, climax and ending (some have a prelude in front and an ending in the back). But the plot should be developed quickly, and the plot clues should be concise and not too complicated. Because children's self-control ability is poor and their attention is easy to shift, children's dramas firmly grasp the hearts of small audiences with compact plot structure and clear clues.
3. The plot is vivid and story-telling
Drama tells a story in the form of performance. When children appreciate the drama, they are most concerned about the story. They are used to understanding the nature of people and events in the process of story development. At the same time, they have a natural affinity for novelty. Vivid plots and strange stories will bring great aesthetic enjoyment to children. The audience of children's drama is undoubtedly a special group. They are sincere and natural, distinguish right from wrong, like to be angry, but they are also unstable, difficult to concentrate for a long time, and like relaxed and changeable art forms.
If the stories on the stage are interlocking, the actors have distinct personalities, the performances are naturally in place, and the beautiful dance design is brightly colored, which is properly integrated with the whole drama, then the reality will be forgotten and brought into the drama involuntarily. If the play is tasteless and artificial, the children can see through it at a glance. No matter how famous screenwriters, directors and actors are, no matter how much they spend on sound, light and electricity special effects on the stage, they will drink water, eat popcorn and go to the toilet immediately. Those well-designed plots and educational lines have long gone to Java.
4. Excellent movements and rich childlike interest
Action is the foundation of drama art Aristotle's expenditure in Poetics: drama must be expressed through the actions of characters. The intuition of drama art requires that the script must consider designing some suitable stage actions to better express the characters, unfold the plot and truly reflect life.
Children are naturally active, good at imitation and like dynamic scenes, so the action requirements of children's dramas are more prominent than ordinary dramas. Secondly, we should have children's interests. Children's interests are not simply fun, but express their temperament and interests through distinctive language and action images.
