How to choose one and only one from the many options for names for a theater group? It depends on what you decide to focus on: the age of the participants, the audience, an approximate repertoire plan. You may want to choose a professional term or bet on the name of a well-known character.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a name for a theater group, be guided by the age of its participants. The children's team (up to 14 years old) would be appropriate to name one of the names of fairy tale characters ("Cipollino", "Pierrot", "Ole-Lukoye"). Young theatergoers and members of the circle may not be against "Hamlet", "Don Quixote" or even "Figaro". Do not use the names of characters in books and films, whose authors are in good health, without their written permission (which is sometimes very problematic to do due to various legal subtleties, material costs, or, for example, a language barrier).
Step 2
Think about who will come to your performances. If you plan to perform mainly in front of children, then the name of your theater group should be understandable to the kids, causing them positive emotions. For example, "Jolly Carlson", "Buratino and Company", "Sisters and Brothers Grimm". However, the teenage and youth audience is quite finicky. In this case, you do not need to choose a too fanciful name. And at the same time, it can be unusual and even shocking. For example, "We Are Together", "Light and Performance", "Steps Behind the Scene".
Step 3
Take your future repertoire as a basis. So, if you are going to stage sketches, reprises, parody plays, then it is possible that you will like the following titles: "Jester with us", "Regulars", "Balaganchik", "Dominoes". If you are going to focus on serious dramatic works, then the name of the circle should be appropriate: "Sphere", "Mirror", "Theme", "Situation", etc.
Step 4
Choose the names that spectators and members of the circle associate with the theater, namely: - names of genres ("Drama", "Reprise", "Miniature", "Intermedia"); - names of structural units of works ("Phenomenon", "Prologue", "Exposition"); - terms related to the work on the production and stage design ("Mise-en-scene", "Props", "Decoration"); - terms related to the arrangement of the stage and auditorium ("Ramp", "Backstage", "Gallery", "Parterre").
Step 5
Decide if it would be appropriate to name the theater group after famous playwrights or their plays. On the one hand, this means that you are striving to meet a given level. But on the other hand, it may seem too pretentious, especially if the productions are not successful.
Step 6
Do not choose too long names and try to do without quality adjectives (big, small, beautiful, beautiful, new, old, funny, sad, etc.). Or at least use them in such a way that the resulting phrase has at least some relation to art. For example, "New Age", "Small Hall", "Sad Image".
