MINISTERIAL GREETING
For the program booklet of the international festival and seminar
„Glitterbird – Art for the very young”
"I have accepted the invitation of Kolibri Theatre wholeheartedly, as well as the patronage of the „Glitterbird – Art for the very young” international festival and seminar. On the basis of research we very well know what an important role the mother and the family have in creating contact with the baby even before its birth, and why it is important that they talk to the baby in the mother’s womb, and tell the little one stories even previous to his or her arrival."

FOREWORD OF THE MINISTER
"Dear Reader!
As the story goes, the Chinese empresses were only allowed to see, smell and listen to good things when they got pregnant, so the child would also be beautiful and balanced."

DEAR FRIENDS,
The bigger kids who go to kindergarten and primary school play theatre, thus passing on a centuries-old tradition. At their age the children’s songs, folk rhymes, children’s poetry and dramatic games can still rival the lifeless characters of the virtual computer-world.

SURPRISES WITH HAPPINESS HORMONES
When János Novák, the director of Kolibri Theatre talked to me about playing for tiny little children between 0-3 years of age, I was impressed that Novák, as always, was so enthusiastic and had a pet subject again. But basically I regarded the whole thing as amiable nonsense

CHILDREN NEED ART
A Case for Aesthetic Education and Future-oriented Cultural Policy
No one will argue with me when I say that „Children need art“. When I state it as a question “Do children need art?” again, next to no one would say no. Of course children first need food and drink, a roof over their heads, healthcare, and social services. These are essential, but even so, not always implicit in our world.

RENDEZVOUS ON THE PONTS DES ARTS
Lucie and the “Swing-Stick”
That day was different for Lucy. She still wasn’t five. At that time she used to retire to the whitewashed wooden bridge behind their house, and played “swing-stick” on the small river. From one side of the bridge, she threw a stick into water, and then rushed to the other side to see it turn up. The stick danced and tossed and turned to the rhythm and melody of the water.

ARTISTIC EXPERIENCES IN THE FIRST YEARS OF LIFE
(Support material for the stage productions created within the Glitterbird program)
I have seen a great variety of productions meant for children, both as a mother and as a teacher dealing with small children, especially the age-group that are taken to infant nurseries. Within the productions there were ones which were real experiences and other less memorable ones.

Children’s theatre – with adults
Following the thousand machinations of “black” or “toxic” pedagogy we successfully wean our children from the habit of following their inner commands dictated by their emotions. If we succeed in discouraging them from all individual initiatives, we can get after school lessons started. All that they might have learned happily and effectively following the impulse of their own senses will be learned without happiness and with little effectiveness under constraint.

THEATRE FOR TINY TOTS
This essay introduces infants and toddlers as audience of theatre. The first question that arises is whether it’s reasonable to speak about theatrical experience at this age? Instead of simply saying yes we would like to depict infants as their developing mental abilities make them sensitive/docile for the perception of a dramatic experience
