Theatre or theater is a collaborative form of performing art that uses live performers, usually actors or actresses, to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, often a stage.

In theatre and performing arts, the stage (sometimes referred to as the deck in stagecraft) is a designated space for the performance of productions. The stage serves as a space for actors or performers and a focal point (the screen in cinema theaters) for the audience.

A theatrical production is any work of theatre, such as a staged play, musical, comedy or drama produced from a written book or script. Theatrical productions also extend to other performance designations such as Dramatic and Nondramatic theatre, as well as Dance theatre.

Theatre Production: From the Script to the Stage

• Find a Script. Naturally, the first step is to decide which play you will be producing.
• Figure Out the Nitty Gritty. This step involves several smaller but equally-pivotal steps:
• Casting.
• Rehearsals.
• Publicity and Opening Night.

There are three basic forms of play:

• Solitary Play. Babies usually like to spend much of their time playing on their own.
• Parallel Play. From the age of two to about three, children move to playing alongside other children without much interaction with each other.
• Group Play.

There are 16 different play types. These are: Communication Play, Creative Play, Deep Play, Dramatic Play, Exploratory Play, Fantasy and Imaginary Play, Locomotor Play, Mastery Play, Object Play, Recapitulative Play, Role Play, Rough and Tumble Play, Social Play, Socio-Dramatic Play, and Symbolic Play.

In fact, one playtime can include different play types. For example, playing pirates can include rough and tumble play, symbolic play, dramatic play, communication play, social play, fantasy play and imaginative play!

Symbolic play

You can help encourage them by being the one to play with them first, but allow them to run the playtime show. You can then show them sharing and interacting skills by doing it yourself! If you’re concerned about your child’s development, chat with an expert like their pediatrician or a teacher.

Set out several toys or activities that are the same. This will encourage the kids to play near each other without grabbing or fighting over the toys. For example, set out 2 of the same dolls or a handful of the same toy blocks. Give them toys that stimulate their imaginations or allow them to build and create.

When children play near other kids without interacting they are engaging in what early childhood development experts call “parallel play.” To provide an example, if you see your child approach a group of children, pick up a doll, and play alone –without having the doll “talk” with other dolls or something similar– then …

Parallel play is very important for the 2½- 3 year old age range as it helps children to learn peer regulation, observation skills, working with and getting along with others as well as working independently. Parallel play is not only normal, it’s an important first step in learning how to interact with others.

Unoccupied play They remain relatively stationary, and their movements don’t appear to have a purpose. Singing, rocking, tummy time, or playing with brightly colored rattles are all appropriate activities that can help with important developmental skills.

Solitary play is often first seen in children ages 0–2, before they start interacting and playing with other kids. Independent play is also a stage that older preschoolers and children choose to engage in after they know how to play with others, proving just how valuable this skill is.

Unoccupied play primarily occurs in infants, from birth to three months. This is the first stage of play, and to the untrained eye, likely doesn’t look like play at all. However, infant activity of observing their surroundings and/or displaying random movements with seemingly no objective is actually unoccupied play.

Mildred Parten’s stage theory describes the ways children interact with each other. During solitary independent play, children play alone with objects without interacting with others even when they are near. Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory says that children socially construct what they know by using language.

Having studied Jean Piaget’s theories on play, Smilansky expanded on Piaget’s categories of play and proposed four types of play, which contribute to a child’s development and learning: functional play, constructive play, games with rules, and dramatic or pretend play.

Parallel play (adjacent play, social coaction) – when the child plays separately from others but close to them and mimicking their actions. Cooperative play – when a child is interested both in the people playing and in the activity they are doing.

In Vygotsky’s cultural-historical theory, play is an important part of early childhood. Vygotsky believed that play promotes cognitive, social, and emotional development in children. In Vygotsky’s play, role-playing and the imaginary situation are planned ahead and there are rules for participating in play.
