Improvising with puppets in kindergarten

Abstract

Lutkarski izrazi pojavljuju se na razvoju svjetskih kultura te sežu u najstarije civilizacije. Lutkarstvo u Europi počelo se više razvijati u XVI. i XVII. stoljeću. Tada je bilo u rukama putujućih lutkara i postalo obiteljski zanat. Vrlo važnu ulogu u preporodu europskog lutkarstva odigrala je djelatnost sanjara, talentiranih pojedinaca ili grupa. Na početku su to bili amateri, a s vremenom su se usavršili. Hrvatska je išla u korak s Europom u povijesnim, ali i kazališnim oblicima. Prvi kazališni zapis potječe iz XI. stoljeća, a u XVI. stoljeću počinje autentičan kazališni život na području Dubrovnika. Scenska umjetnost, koja je slična glumačkom kazalištu, gdje postoji posrednik: lutka, naziva se lutkarstvo. Lutka je neživo biće koje čovjek, odnosno animator oživi. Animator različitim pokretima lutku oživi tako što se ona kreće. Svijet lutaka je izmišljen, stiliziran, pun humora, poezije, satire, ne poznaje granice. Osnovna je forma lutkarskih igara improvizacija koju izvodi odgojitelj prepušten svojim kreativnim mogućnostima. Improvizacija treba biti originalna, zaigrana, odisati nježnošću, govor čist i jasan te podsjećati na dječju igru.Puppetry expressions appear on the development of the world cultures and reach to the oldest civilizations. Puppetry in Europe started to develop in the 16th and 17th century. At that time it was in the hands of puppet makers and very soon became a family craft. A very important role in the revival of European puppetry was the activity of dreamers, talented individuals or groups. In the beginning, they were amateurs, and as the time passed by they made it perfect. Croatia has been in step with Europe in both historical and theatrical forms. The first theatrical record comes from the 16th century. At the same time an authentic theater life began in the area of Dubrovnik. Scenes art, similar to the acting theater, where the mediator is a puppet, is called puppetry. The puppet is an unliving creature animated by the person or the animator. With different movements the animator revives the puppet. The world of puppets is fictional, stylized, full of humor, poetry, satire and without boundaries. The basic form of puppet games is the improvisation that the educator performs using his creative skills. The improvisation should be original, playful and refined with gentleness, the speech should be clear and remind on the children's play
