Teatr i dziecko jako osoba

Abstract

+eatre for young people should help children in their individual development and also prepare new, intelligent and open theatrical audiences for the future. +is is very important in a world endangered by the unification and cybernation of human beings.+eatre involving children can be manifested in two different ways: theatre for children and children’s theatre. +e first is created by adult artists for a young audience. It treats art as a source of knowledge about culture, civilization and the spiritual condition of people. In this respect, theatre for children is a part of art for children. Children’s theatre is created by children. +e emphasis is placed on the process of creating the show and not on the effect. For that reason, children’s theatre is a part of pedagogy. +e text presents 4 examples of theatrical creation termed “interactive theatre”. Such theatre engages the audience much more fully and activates their imagination and creative thinking much more than traditional theatre does.
