Our Spectators Uczestnictwo dzieci Our spectators are children aged from 3 to 9 years. Our performances are designed for a relatively small number of spectators so it is easier to connect with the children's performance. It is also means more people have a chance to shake puppet-rabbit's hand, smell the gingerbread spices or throw woollen snowballs. In many performances we have props (e.g. bells, flowers) which we distribute among children during songs. In some stories they can taste delicious biscuits. Our goal is that children, as much as they are able to, take part in the performance - clap, repeat some words, answer easy questions, do simple gestures, etc. It depends on the children if the lion lets the mouse free or if the dragon takes the medicine which he hates so much. During some stories we ask older children to repeat a sound or phrase on hearing some words. For example, when children hear in a story words Santa Claus they are supposed to say "Ho, ho, ho". Knowledge of English The language of our performances is English, however
knowledge of the language is not essential. Illustrating the songs and stories with gestures,
props and pictures helps understand the content so that children stay focused during the play. |
