A puppet show for children

Diplomsko delo z naslovom Lutkovna predstava za otroke na podlagi strokovne literature, knjig, člankov in internetnih virov preučuje teoretične osnove lutke in lutkovne predstave ter njenega poteka. Lutke vključujejo in povezuje veliko področij. Diplomsko delo je teoretično. Delo obravnava lutke, lutkovno predstavo in njen potek, kar otroci spoznajo že v predšolskem obdobju. Z lutko se otroci počutijo varne in tako lahko postane njihova vsakodnevna prijateljica. Z njo lahko dosežejo ali odkrijejo nekaj novega ali pa obnovijo nekaj že znanega. Lutka jih popelje v svet domišljije in tako lahko z njo veliko lažje dosežejo zastavljene cilje. Pravljični liki pa se prek pesmi, barv, gibanja in besede približajo otroku in tako prenašajo pomembne življenjske vsebine. Z lutko vzgojitelji ali lutkovni igralci nastopajo pred otroki v vrtcu, v gledališču ali kjer koli, kjer si pripravijo oder za lutkovno predstavo. Predstave so otrokom prirejene glede na njihovo starostno obdobje in njihova dojemanja sveta, lutke. Za začetek in navdih pa si je mogoče ogledati kakšno lutkovno predstavo v samem lutkovnem gledališču. Najprej se je treba lotiti teme in besedila, kasneje pa izdelave lutk, scene, glasbe, osvetljave, ki se seveda vežejo na temo lutkovne predstave. Za nastanek le-te sta potrebna skrbno načrtovanje in priprava, da ob izvedbi predstave gledalcu pusti pozitiven vtis, vznemirjenje in ustvarjalnost.The following thesis A Puppet Show for Children is based on technical literature, books, articles and internet sources.
