What is a creative team? This term can include a group of amateur performances. The creative team can be called an organized version of the artistic, technological, pedagogical, and executive activities. The created group implements the sum of values and norms in accordance with the positions and functions of the joint activities of the participants and the leader.
Organization Principles
The creative team must cope with the tasks assigned to it. In pedagogical activity includes training, education, education of all its participants. The training is aimed at mastering the participants of theoretical knowledge and practical skills of working with various works of art, their performance.
The creative team is systematically expanding its horizons in the field of art and culture, is an active participant in public life.
Education involves the formation in its participants of aesthetic, moral, physical, artistic qualities.
Art technology
Creation of a creative team involves serious work not only of the leader, but of all its members. During their joint activity, the conversion of various source material into a stage work is carried out, which is presented to the "audience court". Executive activity involves various options: concerts, performances, holidays. For example, a children's creative team takes an active part in a variety of thematic evenings, music lounges, and festive concerts.
To create independent creative groups do not need special administrative orders.
Tasks and principles
The activities of the creative team are aimed at developing the individual potential of its participants. Its organizers must responsibly approach the formation and development of created associations, develop them taking into account subjective and objective factors.
The main point in the formation of a new group is to take into account the needs of society. The organization of a creative team involves a thorough preliminary study by its creator of all the real needs of people of different ages and social categories. It is necessary to take into account the material possibilities for the emergence of a new group. It will be difficult to create a full-fledged artistic and creative team without the material base and professional leader.
Important facts
A condition for the viability of an amateur group is a clear, well-founded goal. It is necessary to link with it the interests and desires of each participant. Only when solving this complex problem can we count on the absence of conflicts within the created team.
The leader must find a way to enhance the creative potential of all participants, directing him in the right direction. The method of work depends on the individual abilities, properties of the participants. In order to cope with this difficult task, the leader must know the physical, psychological, creative, artistic properties of each member of the group.
The development of the creative team allows us to provide opportunities for the disclosure of the creative potential of each student.
For a conscious and systematic direction of its activity, it is important to possess information about the quality features of its members, stages of development. The main quality of such an organization is intragroup highly developed relations with society.
How do large creative teams function? Moscow is a city of great opportunities, therefore, the created creative associations work closely with various social groups, showing them the products of joint work.
Education specifics
Is it possible to create full-fledged professional creative groups from amateur groups? Moscow is the capital of Russia, therefore it is here that the maximum number of diverse associations of an artistic orientation is formed. In order for a group to become a full-fledged "organism", certain conditions must be observed.
First of all, we note the existence of a common goal among all its members. At the education stage, special attention must be paid to cooperation between representatives of the circle, their ability to coordinate joint activities.
As favorable motives that affect participation in the new team, we note conscious motivation, the desire for communication between members of the circle, the desire to improve the reputation of the team, advertise your favorite pastime.
Joint action is built on mutual respect, setting as the main goal of development of the created team.
Working methods
In order to understand which creative teams will be successful, it is necessary to dwell on the methods of working with them. We must not lose sight of the fact that the main subject of any such association is art, and the main goal is to satisfy the spiritual and aesthetic needs of all participants. Pedagogical activity is carried out by involving performers in the socio-cultural and artistic-creative activities. It is implemented in the process of rehearsals, classes, concert performances.
The characteristics of the creative team are inextricably linked with the specifics of its activities. It’s not enough just to learn how to play some musical instrument, to sing, to master acting, it’s important to get collective skills, the ability to build relationships with other representatives of a creative association. Amateur performances do not imply “student” activities; preparations are immediately made for entering the real stage.
Action algorithm
The leader is faced with the task of developing special performing skills among the members of his association. First, acquaintance with the basics of art is carried out, aesthetic knowledge is instilled, then a smooth transition to performing practice is observed.
Classification of occupations
Depending on the specifics of the creative team, theoretical and practical types of classes are allowed. There is no single theoretical methodology by which theoretical classes for creative associations can be conducted.
In some cases, they are supposed to assign special hours, in other situations they are simply included in practical exercises. For example, when practicing dance movements, learning musical parts, participants first study the theory and only after that proceed to refine the information received.
This is especially true for:
- choral, orchestral associations in which the study of musical literature, solfeggio, musical notation, and performing art is carried out;
- theater studios, where it is supposed to study the culture of speech, the history of theatrical art, music literature;
- choreographic, in which acquaintance with the anatomy and physiology of man, choreographic art, history and features of folk costume.
Methods of Theoretical Work
Theoretical activity involves the application of certain working methods. Let us dwell on some of them. For example, an information story, description, conversation, explanation (verbal forms) help the head of a creative association to acquaint the team with the nuances without which it will be impossible to build a speech.
Visual types of work: a demonstration of phenomena, processes, didactic material, images, maps - contribute to the visual perception of the material in question.
Practical activities
The most effective is the display of real processes, individual movements, specific objects. Also, the work of creative associations is built on improvement, acquisition of skills. A variety of practical exercises are studies. These are exercises that contribute to the development and improvement of technical skill, acting technique.
The study includes several actions that are developed by the teacher.
To create their own repertoire, folklore groups use the design methodology, collecting material, selecting costumes for concert performances.
Description and explanation are suitable for those cases when a member of the collective does not “grasp” the essence of the movement, the characteristics of the musical part.
Mastering the technique of singing, playing instruments on musical instruments is carried out through their initial demonstration by the teacher (team leader).
Next is the development of techniques through systematic exercises, which leads to the development of skills. They suggest the possibility of performing certain actions on the basis of knowledge acquired earlier.
The level of abilities of each representative of the creative group is an indicator of the performing skills of the team. The chosen repertoire, popularity depends on it.
The head of the association in his work often uses educational games, trainings, periodically monitors and corrects the skills acquired by the wards.
Content
The repertoire means the totality of all works that will be performed by a creative team. It can rightfully be called the "face" of any musical or artistic association.
It is through it that the audience creates their first impression of the artistic and social significance of the creative association.
When selecting a concert repertoire, the team leader relies on a social request, the wishes of the artists, their capabilities.
The repertoire has an important educational function, not only for the audience, but also for the performers themselves.
Classification of collectives
There is a conditional subdivision of them into types according to various criteria:
- age features suggest the creation of youthful, children's, adult associations;
- organizational features allow you to create ensembles, studios, circles;
- taking into account the themes and repertoire signs, it is possible to create classic, modern, folk groups.
Also, when organizing a new creative team, the leader faces a crucial task - combining the individual characteristics of each team member, their skills, abilities and abilities. For example, in the repertoire, both solo and collective performances can be used. Combining several thematic numbers is allowed, for example, in preparation for a particular holiday.
Conclusion
Currently, issues related to the creation of creative teams are relevant, deserving special attention. Almost every educational organization has its own creative association, which has a certain line of activity. For example, more and more vocal groups appear in secondary schools among not only schoolchildren, but also their teachers. In medical organizations, doctors unite in amateur art collectives, fun and resourceful clubs.
Of course, primary clubs, associations are amateurish in nature, they are not professional creative teams. But you can give a lot of examples when creative ensembles with a high professional level were formed from a small group. Among the children's groups, known not only in Moscow, but also far beyond its borders, the vocal ensemble “Fidgets” can be noted.
This creative association has become a real "forge of personnel" for the professional scene. Of course, the merit of the stage professionalism acquired by young vocalists in the studio belongs to its leader. A variety of activities are actively used in the work of the children's team, the individual characteristics of each child are taken into account, special techniques are selected for personal growth.
Despite the computerization that is inherent in the twenty-first century, people did not stop attending various concerts, they enjoy watching performances by amateur and professional creative groups created in our country and abroad.
