It is in the power of parents to direct energy in the right direction. Invite the children to play pantomime. For children, this will be a new experience and an interesting practice.
What is pantomime
This is a kind of art when an actor does not use words, but expresses all his thoughts and feelings with actions. Seems boring? This is wrong. If you watch the performance of at least one professional mime, it becomes clear how he conveys his feelings to people.
The first films, as everyone knows, were black and white and silent. As you can guess, they were played by mimes. Most of these tapes were comedic. It is understandable, to show a funny scene without words is not as difficult as to express sadness or longing. Pantomime for children today is used as an educational game. After all, it's fun. Children and adults, along with them, guess various characters, actions and emotions.
What are the types of pantomime
Children love games and often showcase their talents. Acting skill, the guys practice most often. It is understandable, because it comes in handy more often than others in everyday life. What are pantomimes for children?
- Dance. Here the children must dance to any set music. But for the task to be difficult, the guys must move around the impromptu stage in a certain way. For example, on socks or on heels.
- Classic variant. In this game, the child is given a word, and he must show the others without using sounds.
- Acrobatic. Here the child must show his talent as a juggler, jumper or gymnast. Such pantomimes are popular among athletes.
- Eccentric. Playing a comedic situation.
At what age can children show pantomime
You need to teach your child to play in public. Thus, it will be possible to remove excess shyness from the child. And most importantly, showing pantomime, children train their imagination and fantasy. It seems to a thirty-year-old man that it is easy to show how to sweep the floor. A four-year-old child can think about this task for about 10 minutes. Pantomimes for children can be invented from a very early age, from three years old. When the child already walks well and speaks clearly, he can be given easy tasks, for example, show how he collects toys or walks with the dog.
Dance pantomime
This type of entertainment will appeal to active children. Here you do not need to think much, but you need to complete tasks. For example, show the dance of little swans, but do not stand on your toes, but use your heels instead. You can ask a child to dance a waltz, but you need to walk on the floor not with your feet, but with your hands. Such unusual upheavals will help children develop their imagination, and most importantly, understand that you can always look at familiar things from the other side. What dance tasks can a child come up with? You can turn on the song of the dance of the little ducklings in reverse and tell the child to do the usual movements in reverse order.
Revived fairy tales
If there is more than one child in the family, or if friends with their children came to visit, you can play impromptu skits. The fairy tale pantomime for children is popular. Parents read any work of art, and children depict everything they hear. For such pantomimes, both fairy tales well-known to children and new fables are excellent. You can take assignments from a school literature textbook. Thus, it will be more pleasant for children to read boring books. And most importantly, depicting everything that the child hears, he remembers the meaning of the work.
"Alice"
One of the most interesting games for kids is Alias. for which are invested. What is the difference between the version for kids and the game for adults? The fact that there is only one task on the card and it is depicted by a picture. That is, even a small child who cannot read can play such a game.
What should be done? Depict animals, people and objects. For example, you might want to show a cow, a lemon, an apple, a cook, or puzzles. Moreover, in the children's version, all this diversity must be conveyed without words and sounds, only with gestures and grimaces. Alice can be played with both a purchased game and a homemade one. The advantage of cards that will be printed independently is that they can be periodically supplemented. After all, if you play Alice often, you can quickly remember all the tasks and it will not be interesting to guess them.
grimaces
An example of pantomime for children would be making funny faces. For example, you can play in the image of the emotion that appears on the face after eating: lemon, pear, strawberry, sugar or sea buckthorn. But faces can also be made to represent emotions. For example, a child may show fear, confusion, joy, pain, or inspiration. Of course, this version of the game is best played with preschool or school age children. Indeed, at this age, the child should already be able to not only be aware of their emotions, but also be able to demonstrate them.
Crocodile
One of the easiest entertainment for children is pantomime. The leader guesses the word, and the child must show with the help of actions what he was told. Older children can be taught to play crocodile without adults. But kids are not always able to come up with a task. Therefore, adults can control and direct children's thoughts in the right direction. If the child is lost and does not know what to think of, you can whisper in his ear so that he remembers what he ate for breakfast. It may be difficult to show oatmeal. But modern kids are sometimes smarter than their parents think they are.
It is very interesting to play crocodile in a company where there are both adults and children. In such a situation, the child is not always the loser. After all, adults will feel sorry for him and ask easy words. But the baby will not feel sorry for his parents and relatives.
Snowball
A pantomime scenario for children can be made from a well-known modernized game.
The first child pulls the task and performs an action, such as rubbing their hands together. The card is put off. The next child draws their card. He needs to repeat the action of the first player - rub his palms - and his own, jump on one leg. The third must draw a card, and then perform the actions of his comrades who have already drawn cards. And then sit down 5 more times. Thus, the game will continue until one of the children can complete all the tasks in order.
You can play snowball without cards. In this case, the children should simply come up with tasks, and their neighbors should repeat. For students, this option is quite acceptable. But for children who go to kindergarten, it is better to give cards.
Daily Workouts
The pantomime game for kids takes practice. The child will quickly come up with actions and tasks only if he has such practice. After all, you must admit that not every day parents pay attention to their child. But if you are not lazy and practice this funny game with your child for at least 10-15 minutes a day, the results will not be long in coming.
The Benefits of Pantomime
As from any game, a child can endure a lot from grimaces and a crocodile. His acting skills will improve over time. The child will quickly be able to portray any emotion. True, this is not always good for parents. After all, their child can lose touch with reality and sometimes flirt. It is necessary to explain to the child where it is appropriate to use their acting talents, and where it is better to refrain. After all, no one wants a child to make funny scenes in a lesson or in a store.
Pantomimes allow the child to improve memory. After all, playing such games often, you want not to repeat yourself and you have to remember how this or that animal was shown in the last game. Fairy tales that children beat are especially good at developing memory. After all, here the skill of doing two things at the same time is practiced. The child has to train auditory memory. After all, he needs to hear, understand and figure out what to show. If there is no time to read fairy tales, you can put audio books for children. This will be a good help to modern parents.
Pantomime trains the imagination. Indeed, in addition to the fact that you need to show some animal, you also need to figure out exactly how to do it. Moreover, it is not interesting to show, for example, a fox in the same way every time. You have to invent something new. In such a game, a child can train the skill to quickly cope with difficult situations. Moreover, with the help of pantomime, he can turn even the most difficult life situations into a joke. After all, the ability to defuse the situation is simply indispensable in difficult everyday circumstances.
PANTOMIME
PANTOMIME is a theatrical performance without words, in which the meaning and content of what is happening is conveyed with the help of gestures, plasticity and facial expressions. Elements of pantomime can be found in all primitive cultures where mime scenes are part of religious rituals. As an independent type of theatrical art, pantomime first appeared in Rome in the era of Emperor Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD). The Greek pantomimus meant "he who portrays everything" and referred to the actor and the art form in general. The Roman dancer Pylades of Cilicia was the first to perform serious solo numbers, playing pantomimes on mythological subjects. Unlike Pylades, his contemporary and rival Batillus of Alexandria entertained the Romans with merry performances. His favorite character was a goat-legged satyr dancing with beautiful dryads. As the Greek satirist Lucian of Samosata (125-180) wrote in his treatise On Dance (De saltatione), a good mime actor must have a flexible muscular body, an excellent memory, a deep knowledge of mythology, and a serious musical education. Performing pantomime, the actor wore a cloak and a silky tunic that reached to the ankles. His playing was accompanied by an orchestra of pipes, flutes, cymbals and trumpets. The choir talked about what was happening on the stage. Pantomime was a fashionable entertainment at the imperial court, in the reign of Hadrian (117-138) actors occupied court positions. However, in 534, at the insistence of Emperor Justinian, dances and performances were banned as immoral from the point of view of church morality. Church bans could not destroy the love of pantomime, and in the Middle Ages this art was preserved thanks to wandering mimes and minstrels. Pantomime flourished again in the 16th and 18th centuries. in impromptu farces by wandering Italian actors, called commedia dell'arte. From Italy, the comedians traveled across the Alps to France, Germany and Spain, playing in sign language that everyone understood. The protagonists of the comedies were usually the libertine Pantalone, an old Venetian merchant; doctor-pedant Gratiano; noble lady Colombina and her zanni servants (zanni): Harlequin, Pulcinella, etc. Under the influence of classical mythology and comedy dell'arte, D. Weaver (1673-1760), choreographer of the Drury Lane Theater, staged a pantomime in 1702. The English pantomime was more like a theatrical ballet. Plots borrowed from ancient mythology intertwined with the pampering of lovers Harlequin and Columbine. Such pantomimes were given as interludes in tragedies and comedies. Over time, having exhausted itself as a genre, pantomime became the basis for vaudeville. Today in England pantomime is a traditional entertainment at Christmas. In 1750, the choreographer J. J. Nover (1727-1807) presented dramatic ballets (ballets d "action) to the public. He abandoned the geometric alignment of the court ballet, the dancers of his theater conveyed mythological legends in sign language. In 1819, J. G. B. Debureau brought to the stage of the Funambul Theater in Paris (1816-1862) Pierrot, a rejected lover, emaciated, pale, in a white robe, who became a classic pantomime character. Children of Paradise (Les enfants du Paradis, 1944) In 1933, J.-L. Barrot and his teacher E.-M. Decroux began to work on a new art of pantomime, “built on silence.” They believed that pantomime loses if the actor "plays" words with gestures, instead of using plasticity as a self-sufficient language. Barro's ideas were embodied on the stage by M. Marceau (b. 1923). The famous tramp Bip, the hero of many of Marceau's sketches, evoked the same kind and slightly sad laughter from the audience as
An actor does not always need words to convey his feelings and thoughts to the viewer. He can do this with the help of gestures, facial expressions, plasticity. A kind of stage art where the characters express themselves without words, only through body language - that's what pantomime is.
The art of pantomime has been known since ancient times. Its beginnings can be found in the pagan religious rituals of primitive cultures. In Rome, during the reign of Augustus, she stood out as an independent type of theater, becoming a fashionable entertainment at the imperial court. In the Middle Ages, pantomime began to be persecuted, but it continued to live and develop in the performances of itinerant comedians around the world.
There are 4 types of pantomime:
- Dance pantomime - originates in the culture of primitive society, some elements are still preserved in folk dances among people of different nationalities.
- Classical pantomime - originated from the spectacular performances of ancient Greece and Rome, includes three components: poetry, music, action.
- Acrobatic pantomime - originally from the theaters of the East, accompanied by jumping and juggling.
- Eccentric pantomime - based on a comic situation and using grotesque props.
Any genre is available to the art of pantomime: from tragedy to humoresque, from a sharply satirical miniature to a dramatic novel. It is very difficult to define the boundaries between them, they are often closely interconnected and seem to penetrate each other. Pantomime can be performed by only one actor or by a whole group of mimes. One thing remains unchanged: without a single word to convey the story to the viewer, to recreate the character, to laugh or excite.
Development of the art of pantomime in Russia
In Russia, the art of pantomime originates in folk rituals and holidays, which could not do without games, dances and songs. People dressed up as animals, parodied various characters. The games were often accompanied by elements of pantomime, when the words of the songs were explained with movements and gestures. Such scenes were often found in rituals dedicated to the holidays: Maslenitsa, Christmas time, Christmas. Examples of pantomime games can be seen in amateur performances dedicated to various events: the end of the harvest, matchmaking, weddings, etc. Gradually, elements of pantomime began to penetrate into various areas of art:
- to the Russian professional ballet theatre;
- on the farce stage of theater squares;
- circus arenas;
- drama theaters;
Over time, moving from the square to the stage, pantomime acquires technical virtuosity, enriched with expressive techniques. Stanislavsky and his great students turned to the art of pantomime, among whom were the titans of the theatrical education system Vakhtangov, Meyerhold, Tairov.
Pantomime began to be widely used in the theatrical environment during the training of actors in the skill of impersonation. With its help, they learn to express thoughts and feelings without words, focusing on inner sensations.
In the days of the Soviet Union, pantomime went through a difficult path, sometimes even simply consigned to oblivion. Because ideology needed most of all a conversational drama. In the post-war period, there was practically one small platform at the All-Union Institute of Cinematography, where the traditions of pantomime art were preserved.
It was only in the 1960s that there was a trend towards its revival. A striking example of this is the pantomime "The Girl, the Hooligan and the Balloon" performed by the artists Natalya and Oleg Kiryushkin. The number was shown in 1973 at the gala concert of the World Youth Festival in Germany, broadcast live and was a huge success.
The pantomime lasted only 6 minutes, where a bully boy in red caulks and a fragile girl play a touching story about the eternal problem of good and evil. The audience applauded and did not let the artists leave the stage for 20 minutes.
Watching the video of the pantomime "The Girl, the Hooligan and the Balloon" it becomes clear how expressive plasticity without a single word can convey feelings and thoughts. A fairy tale is born before our eyes: a young girl appears with an ordinary balloon in her hands. The girl dances, enjoying life. Suddenly, a hooligan appears, confident in his strength, trying to take the ball away. But a miracle happens, which even the old filmed video conveys well. The ball becomes heavy, and the guy is not even able to lift it from the ground. Then the girl explains that the ball needs love and respect. Gradually, the bully realizes that the ball cannot serve evil and violence, but only good. They leave holding hands. The video of the pantomime was broadcast on screens for more than two years, and Soviet viewers still remember it well.
Thus, pantomime art returned to people, despite the fact that officials looked at it with some apprehension.
Pantomime for child development
Pantomime art has found wide application not only on the stage. It is very important for the development of children: preschoolers and schoolchildren. Pantomime solves several problems:
- develops creative thinking;
- teaches the correct expression of feelings and emotions;
- expands the horizons of children;
- liberates, relieves stiffness;
Depending on the age of the children, tasks or scenes with elements of pantomime are selected. It can be a competition, a game, even a whole performance, which will be based on a pre-written script.
When a child does not attend kindergarten and the mother takes care of him at home, it is especially important to use his leisure time to good use. If it’s autumn outside, it’s cold and raining, and the TV is tired, a game of pantomime without words will come to the rescue. Babies under 4 years old can be offered simple tasks, for example, to show how mom does this or that job:
- sweeps the floor;
- hangs clothes;
- washes dishes, etc.;
For preschoolers, they offer more difficult tasks: to play individual scenes on a specific topic. On the theme "Autumn" show how to pick mushrooms in the forest or hide from the rain. On a winter theme: skiing, playing snowballs, making a snowman. If there are a lot of guys, there is an opportunity to play pantomime funny scenes, for example, based on fables. An adult will read the text, and the children will portray the characters and their actions.
Schoolchildren can already be asked to depict not only movements, but also feelings:
- show the person who received the good news;
- it's cold outside, it's autumn, it's slushy and it's raining;
- when a huge dog rushes towards;
For schoolchildren, teachers can give a variety of creative tasks:
- portray what professions they know, or who they want to become;
- show gait: chicken, turkey, goose, penguin, etc.
Children's holiday: birthday or New Year is another reason to play pantomime. New Year's pantomime for children may also include various collective scenes and tasks:
- depict astronauts in orbit, who dance around the Christmas tree;
- pantomime a flashing garland of light bulbs;
You can come up with quite a lot of such tasks and competitions, it all depends on the imagination and desire of adults to make children's leisure time useful and exciting. A talented teacher can create a pantomime theater for children.
In recent years, the popularity of pantomime art has been growing. A mime actor, like any dancer, needs to do exercises every day in order to perfectly control his body. In addition, he must have great charm, a sense of humor and hard work.
PANTOMIME(Pantomimos in translation from ancient Greek: the one who depicts everything), the art of creating an image with the help of facial expressions and plasticity, a theatrical performance without words.
The origins of pantomime go back to pagan religious rituals, to the art of ancient Greek mimes. As a type of theater, it appeared in the Roman Empire in the Augustan era (27–14 BC). In the Middle Ages, pantomime was banned by the church, but continued to live in the art of itinerant mimes, histrions, jugglers, buffoons and minstrels. It flourished in the 16th-18th centuries. in the improvised commedia dell'arte, a theater of itinerant Italian actors that included a wordless interlude in the performance. The first pantomime was domestic (love) melodrama, harlequinade . In the 18-19 centuries. harlequinade has become a favorite genre of French farce theater.
In the theater of modern times, pantomime first appeared in the form of a theatrical ballet (pantomime D. Weaver at the Drury Lane Theater in London, 1702). During the 18th century existed in theaters as interludes in tragedies and comedies, becoming the forerunner of vaudeville. In 1750 pantomime became an integral part of J. J. Nover's dramatic ballet.
A milestone in the development of pantomime was the work of J. G. B. Debureau at the Fontambulle Theater in Paris (1819), when he brought Pierrot to the stage, and Pierrot became a classic character in pantomime, and Debureau laid the foundation for lyrical poetic pantomime.
At the end of the 19th century pantomime is developing in European music halls and theaters of miniatures as separate pop numbers. In the 20th century the Marseille school of pantomime was born, led by L. Ruff . In England, Ch. Chaplin performed for the first time in the troupe of F. Carnot. In Germany, M. Reinhardt was engaged in pantomime.
The rise of pantomime in the second half of the 1950s is associated with the emergence of non-objective pantomime based on the legacy of Deburau. In 1933, J-L. Barro began to use plastic arts as a self-sufficient language. M. Marceau (1923–2007) invented the Bip the clown mask The modern mime has a perfect command of the body and knows the language of ballet, he is an acrobat, a juggler, a dramatic artist. He is a philosopher: his art of facial expressions and gestures has a breadth of generalization, a wealth of associations and shades of mood ( Horse barro, In the mask workshop Marceau).
Types of pantomime: dance(came from the culture of primitive society, preserved in the dances of many peoples);
classical- from the spectacles of ancient Greece and Rome, combines action, music, poetry;
acrobatic(came from the oriental theater, combined with jumping, juggling);
eccentric(based on a comic situation using grotesque props).
The last two types of pantomime are actively used in the circus, there are also such types of circus pantomime as battle, zoo pantomime, adventure and water extravaganza with stage effects and mass scenes. Pantomimes with special effects and mass scenes are the highest achievement of the arena art, they always become an event in the circus ( October in the arena (1927), Moscow is on fire (1930), Shot in a cave(1954), Equestrian Ensemble of the Don Cossacks (1947), Bear Circus of V. Filatov (1957), Bumbarash (1977)).
Genres of pantomime: Everything is subject to pantomime: tragedy, drama, short story, pamphlet, fairy tale, myth, poem, pop miniature. It can be a pantomime of one actor or a group of mimes. The laconic, metaphorical art of plastic art has access to the same depth of philosophical generalization, the same richness of colors and halftones that dramatic art possesses.
In Russia, the origins of pantomime were Christmas time, Shrovetide, various rituals (matchmaking), and also, as in Europe, farce fair theaters and clownery.
Since the 1910s, dramatic pantomime arose in the work of modern directors (K. Marzhdanov Tears, N. Evreinov false mirror, V. Meyerhold Columbine scarf, A. Tairov Pierrette's bedspread,Toy box). The pantomime traditions of the theater dell'arte were aesthetically rethought and stylized from the standpoint of the director's theatre, accompanied by music, poetry readings, and choreography. In the 1930s and 1940s, the development of pantomime in Russia slowed down, the priority of the word was cultivated as an art that was more understandable to the masses. Even in circuses, mimes have been replaced by talking clowns. But in those same years, pantomime began to occupy a significant place in ballet. Drama ballets, choreodramas by L. Lavrovsky, R. Zakharov appeared, in which pure dance performance was supplanted by pantomime.
The traditions of pantomime have been preserved in the work of the Chamber Theater actor A. Rumnev, actors P. Alekseev, A. Raikin, K. Raikin, mimes S. Kashtelyan, N. Pavlovsky, R. Slavsky.
The rise of pantomime in the second half of the 1950s is associated with the acquaintance of the Russian public with the art of non-objective pantomime by Decroux, Barrot, Marceau, as well as with the work of Debureau, which Soviet viewers learned about from the film by M. Carne children of raik(1944). Such works of the Russian pantomime genre appeared as Pearl A. Rumneva, star Rain L. Engibarova, paper soldier And Fads of the mime A. Zheromsky.
Both in the West and in Russia there are two types of pantomime - with the participation of one actor (L. Engibarov, A. Elizarov, A. Zheromsky, former "actors": R. Gorodetsky, Petersburg, N. Terentiev, Chicago , S.Shashelev/Chora, L.Leikin and V.Keft, USA) and theatrical pantomime with a group of actors, scenery, script (Experimental Theater-Studio under the direction of A. Rumnev, Moscow Theater of Mimicry and Gesture of the All-Russian Society of the Deaf and Dumb under the direction of P.A. Savelyev, Moscow Theater of Plastic Drama OKTAEDR under the direction of G. Matskyavichus. , mime clown theater "Litsedei", Theater of V. Polunin, theater of the former "actor" A. Adasinsky "Tree" , Dresden).
Pantomime also exists in the form of separate performances on the stage (V. Arkov, E. Konovalov, I. Rutberg, A. Chernova and Y. Medvedev, a plastic duet that created a performance based on the songs of B. Okudzhava at the Taganka Theater Work is work, S. Vlasova and O. Shkolnikov, B. Amarantov, N. and O. Kiryushkina).

Creativity Marceau aroused interest in pantomime. Mimic troupes began to appear all over the world, each of which had a unique charm. The popular American actor R. Skelton hosted a weekly television program in which the spirit of commedia dell'arte reigned. It takes years to master the technique of classical pantomime. Like a dancer, a mime needs to perform a whole range of exercises every day in order to master the body perfectly. A modern mime, like a dramatic actor, seeks to reincarnate as his hero, to convey his feelings. The actor must master the techniques of classical pantomime, as well as ballet pirouettes and arabesques. The need to convey the idea of the performance with the help of bright, expressive gestures made pantomime one of the most attractive types of theatrical art.
