The Child as a Reciter and Interpreter of the Text: On the Sidelines of the Children’s Interpretations Recitation Competition at the Tarnobrzeg Cultural Center – Reflections of the Instructor and Juror

Summary/Abstract: The article explores the issue of artistic presentation of literary texts by children. The author bases her work on her own experience as a theatre instructor and a juror in recitation competitions, including the ever-present Children’s Interpretations – a competition organised with the youngest performers in mind – children of primary school age. Her experience as an organiser, her work with young performers and her observation of the effects of the work of teachers preparing children for stage presentation is the starting point for a description of the most important aspects of the recitation process: from statutory issues to the final performance. The author discusses the aims of recitation, repertoire selection and factors conditioning it, analysis and interpretation of a literary work, means of artistic expression in recitation, coping with stress and stage fright, individual predispositions of children, regularity of work, obstacles standing in the way of good preparation of a child for the stage performance of a text. She draws attention to the lack of preparation of Polish language teachers to work on the artistic expression of literary works, and questions the sense of the work of instructors as well as the organisation of performing arts competitions.
