How is children's play formed?

Tongzi Opera is a local opera in Nantong, which was originally Tongzi Opera and originated from Shangtongzi.

The so-called "boy wizard" is a folk professional wizard. It is another branch of ancient wizards that originated in Chu and Yue, blended and homogenized with local dialects, cultures, customs and people's feelings, and gradually formed a distinctive Nantong local color, namely Nantong boy.

Although the boy's acting skills are too simple and rough, he still retains the original and simple style. This is a true and typical folk drama with hundreds of thousands of audiences. It has long-lasting performance.

After the founding of New China, Tongzi Opera abandoned the superstitious content of offering sacrifices to gods and exorcising ghosts, and performed modern drama in the form of rap, bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new, and gradually turned into ordinary drama, which improved in choreography, performance, music, stage art and so on.

The accompaniment of copper drama is simple and primitive, with percussion music as the main music. The singing is rough and simple, and the lyrics are easy to understand, which is deeply loved by local people and shows the original features of Nuo culture in China.

The classic plays of copper drama include Chen Ying Selling Water, White Horse Carrying Corpse, Huazi Street, Li Zhaoting, Good Secretary and so on. 192 1 year, old boys, a children's troupe, organized a class to perform children's drama in Bachang Street, Nantong.

After the founding of New China, professional writers and artists in Nantong city and county selected and compiled some children's drama scripts, and helped to sort out and process them. Later, some old children in Nantong County formed Nantong Experimental Troupe to perform in the suburbs and the west of the county.

After the reform and opening-up, some opera artists and fans have successively established eight troupes, including Hero Township Troupe, Qinzao Township Troupe, Si 'an Township Troupe, Pingtung Township Troupe, Shinan Township Troupe, Xingfu Township Troupe, Xinlian Township Quyi Troupe and Zhaodian Township Troupe.

Tongzi Opera has only three main melody features, and "Tongzi has three melodies, and the upper plate is not close to the eye" is an ancient style of Tongzi Song. Tongzi Opera reformed the traditional vocal cavity and accompaniment, introduced the single accompaniment of traditional gongs and drums into folk songs, minor tunes and hymns, and borrowed music materials from local operas such as Luxi Opera.

In terms of creative techniques, Tongzi Opera has absorbed the rules of Peking Opera's banqiang, and has a tendency to integrate banqiang, Qupai style and couplets. Created a variety of banqiang and aria suitable for performances in all walks of life, overcame the homophony of men and women, and the actors began to adapt to the standard of setting the tone.

The roles in Tongzi's plays are becoming more and more clear, including Xiao Sheng, Hua Dan, the old student, the clown, the colorful Dan, the wicked Dan and the colorful face. The crew broke the situation that the old artists dominated the country and absorbed the young amateur drama team.

The former club was invited to be a body teacher, and Zhou, the former vulgar Peking Opera Troupe, was invited to be a makeup and clothing teacher. The director of Yue Opera was introduced, which combined the styles of drama, song and dance.

Tongzi drama aims at modern drama, rehearsing the modern drama "Red Seed" and creating the repertoire "Shanghe Gong".

After the establishment of Nantong Experimental Troupe, it rehearsed modern dramas such as Good Secretary, Die Well, White-haired Girl, Blood and Tears, President's Daughter, Red Flowers in the Green Field, Li Shuangshuang, Seize the Print, After Harvest, Capture Luo Genyuan alive, Carpenter's Wedding, etc. The costume dramas Wang Qingming's Contract, Zheng Sanlang's Journey to the West, Chen Ying's Selling Water, Hua Xian Fruit and Borrowing the Year were adapted and arranged.

At the same time, more than 40 costume dramas of Peking Opera and other operas have been transplanted, such as Yuan, Qin Xianglian and Princess Huanzhu.

On the basis of inheriting the old tune of Tongzi opera, the experimental drama strengthened the reform of vocal cavity, and carried out a series of experiments through the modern drama White-haired Girl and the traditional drama Chen Ying Selling Water. The same drama draws lessons from and integrates the performance techniques of Beijing opera, traditional opera and drama, and explores the dramatization of new local operas.

Nantong Cultural Center began to resume copper drama activities, and Nantong Cultural Bureau set up a copper drama reform group. 1980110 In October, the Jiangsu Provincial Bureau of Culture held a meeting to observe and perform modern operas in Nanjing. Nantong musical "Who lives in this room" participated and won the prize.

In Qinzao Township, Si 'an Township, Shinan Township of Nantong City, Wu Shan Cultural Center of Chongchuan District, Chengzhong Cultural Center, Jiuhua Township of Rugao City and other places, old artists and young amateurs have formed a half-agricultural and half-artistic drama team.

Soon, artists freely formed a loose folk performance team. Accompaniment abolished the national orchestra and still accompanied by gongs and drums, so the performance venue was mainly the village stage. The repertoire of modern drama is gradually decreasing, and the traditional drama is the main one, which alienates the exploration and practice of experimental drama and returns to the traditional routine of Tongzi drama.

The exploration and practice of children's drama has injected new vitality into tunes, repertoires, performances and stage art, and promoted the emergence of new historical dramas, such as Wei Erlang and Huazi Street.

In addition, more than 20 tapes, such as The Journey to the West by Zheng Saburo, Pearl Tower, Wang Qingming's Contract, and Chen Ying's Selling Water, were published in the name of copper drama, which is essentially a drama with a distinct imprint of experimental copper drama.
