“…In addition to a growing range of new productions designed specifically for babies in different parts of the world, a new line of research has emerged on the aesthetic experience of babies during the shows (Fletcher-Watson et al, 2014; Nagel, & Hovik, 2016; Rodrigues et al, 2016, 2018a; Schonmann, 2006; Young, 2004). The insights and anecdotal records of babies’ behavior during the performances corroborate the idea that babies are ready to understand or to get engaged in artistic performances (Fletcher-Watson et al, 2014; Rodrigues & Rodrigues, 2017b).…”

Music theater performances (MTPs) in the early years provide stimulating environments for babies and their caregivers and have spawned intriguing questions about babies’ ability to be engaged in different modalities of art. The aim of this study was to assess babies’ engagement in an MTP designed for children aged 0–3. A video microanalysis of recordings of eight babies, who attended performances of AliBaBach by Companhia de Música Teatral, was made through a coding system designed to quantify a set of behaviors that indicated engagement. The videos were coded on a 1-s time base for (a) babies’ engagement with the performance, caregiver, environment, and self-engagement and (b) five indicators of engagement with the performance: gaze at the performance, positive affect, negative affect, vocalizations, and body movements. The results indicate that engagement with the performance was the most prevalent type of babies’ engagement (62%). The most prevalent indicator of engagement with the performance was gaze. These results suggest that babies were highly engaged in the performances, mostly through visual attention. Babies’ engagement was more evident in scenes that were narratively structured, scenes that were based on musical repetition, and scenes that sped up.

“…As theatre makers and researchers, we are familiar with a wide range of other theories related to dramaturgies for very young children (e.g., Fletcher-Watson 2013, 2016Fletcher-Watson et. al 2014;Hovik 2015Hovik , 2019Nagel and Hovik 2016;Patel 2020;Patel, Schnädelbach and Koleva 2018;Wartemann 2009), and a range of relevant theories and approaches related to play and playfulness. 3 Given our context in Alberta, however, where early childhood educators use Flight to develop their emerging curricula and to understand children's meaning-making, adapting Flight to drive our PBR makes sense.…”

Practice-based research that meaningfully engages with very young children (ages eighteen months to five years) as co-researchers presents wonderful opportunities to co-imagine possibilities together, but it also presents challenges related to communication, a democratic process, and children’s agency. In this article, we discuss how The Urban Wildlife Project uses Flight: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework to help our creative team have a relationship-centred process. We discuss how Flight’s core values of play and playfulness inform our process, how Flight’s “Cycle of Co-Inquiry” and emphasis on understanding children’s meaning-making honours children as citizens, and how several key concepts--including “co-,” a specific conception of children and childhood, play and play-informed meaning-making, and making magic--enable us to include very young children as co-researchers in our co-creation and co-imagination practices.  To illuminate how the process works, we offer two examples of how we are using Flight to inform our practice-based research processes with the early years demographic, and to create meaningful immersive theatre experiences for all participants.

“…The listener's ability to imagine what is happening in a story is helped by the storyteller's use of a diverse language, using both the body, the vocal and the verbal. The listener is present with an inner participation [Nagel & Hovik 2016].…”

To Remember Is a Risk of Forgetting – Mimesis and Chronotope in Artistic Process

A performing storyteller is completely depending on the memory. In the process of making a performance the storyteller must make some choices regarding the memory. This article is based on a musical storytelling performance. Through using the research question: what possibilities does the chronotope and mimesis provide in an artistic working process towards an oral storytelling performance? the author looks at the concept of mimesis as a process and chronotope as a clarifying term. According to Catherine Heinemeyer, a chronotope is applicable because it is not only about the artistic experience, but the metaphor places the artistic work in contemporary political, economic, and social tendencies. This helps identify ways of behaving in a practice [Heinemeyer 2020]. Paul Ricoeur (1913–2005) relates. Aristotle’s mimesis to poiesis, which means art, and it is therefore only within the art that mimesis is effective [Ricoeur 1991]. The author has used examples from the storytelling performance to understand the concept of mimesis and the metaphor chronotope better.
