Peter pan kinder's play.

This is just a plus for the blog. As prefects we had to help tonight in the Kinder's Play. This year it was Peter Pan. And as i watched it I kept thinking about the play for next year, and this lead to several ideas.
1) There is a difference between a CHILDREN's PLAY and a PLAY FOR CHILDREN. there are many aspects about this:

• Mistakes: since the Peter Pan was a children's play and the actors were childs then it was reasonable for them to make mistakes, however, US doing a play for children it is not acceptable to make anymistakes, because they are not stupid, the audice (grown ups and kids) will notice if we make mistakes.
• Relationship with audience: how far can we go there? i mean, if there is a relationship with the children then how much of a Theatrical play will it be? will they still consider it a play? or a show (like the ones at Bembos) and if so...if that is a play to? AND also, if we treat the audience as stupid like "LOOK AT THE MOUNTAIN!+ point at the mountain +"do you see it?" sort of a Dora la exploradora thing, will they like it? personally, i wouldn't, i'm not stupid see? soo why treat me like one.
• Music & Dance: I still think it MUST be there,however later on i will talk about a play that we are going to see tomorrow so, let's see how does music affects the play. We need to learn to put the right amount of music to not bore the audience with too little but also with too much. I think that Disney movies will teach us HOW and WHEN to put music.
• Scenery: in Peter Pan it was just a telon painted but very COLORFUL. however, will that is a convention that we will follow?. I think it should be a real scnery and maybe not that "complex" in the sence of metaphoric or so, but still be a real/solid scnery.
• Effects: ok so the special effects to make them fly were awesome for a childrens play, but if we make it that way will they understand? or will they think that they were holding on to a rope. THIS IS THE TROUBLE WITH CINE, it shows what they want to show and it reduces the imagination of the audience, however...I really don't think this might be a problem (I'm trusting on the audience!!).
