Baby Theater is a direction of modern theater that is extremely in demand today and therefore requires professional research. Artists, dancers, circus and theater directors – not just puppeteers – are fond of it. Theater managers and parents, who introduce their children to the arts from infancy, are equally interested in it. What tasks inevitably confront the production team and how are they solved so that the theater remains a theater, and the actor remains an actor, without imposing on the child the known laws and conventions of theatrical performance.
A performance for kids is like a river: you can enter it and swim with the current or against it, you can watch it flow, you can lie down, look into it and just listen to the sound of the water.

Lecture by Anna Ivanova-Brashinskaya with video fragments from performances for toddlers.
