The methods of acquiring comedy in child theatre

Up to now most of the philosophers claim different ideas about humor leading laughter deed starting with Plato whose ideas are moral. Philosophers mostly explain laughter with the theory of relaxation, superiority and discrepancy. None of these theories which try to explain the mechanism of laughter is seen to refute the thesis of the other; but one of them gets a head of the others. This can be clarified with the role of the laughter phenomenon in every theory. According to the modern philosophers, the basic mechanism that stimulates the laughter is the discrepancy. If the feeling of superiority is a reason which activates the laughter opposite a superior thing, the feeling of relaxation seems to be a result which refers to changes leading to laughter in body and soul. It is thought that people having positive humor own great acquisitions in physiological, psychological, sociological and academic aspect. The importance of humor and the action of laughter have been emphasized in these parts: the final sections of the studies about children, having a healthy spirit and body life, strengthening family and social relations, getting academic success, developing constructive critical point of view. People laugh at things that they perceive incompatible. Theatre also benefits from visual and aural incompatible images that are useful for comedy (comic) Children's emotional and physical developments are different from and adult. For this reason, it is necessary to consider humor understanding of children in the literature and implementations of child theatre. A child can't laugh and understand the inconsistency that are produced with concepts missing in his own vocabulary. This should be arranged like this: The inconsistency formed through shape, motion and sound shouldn't hurt the child shouldn't create fear and anxiety instead of laughter. Child theater benefits from the inconsistencies of shape and motion in addition to various verbal humor tools. Songs containing the message of the play, the sound effects used mostly used to obtain the laughter. Children can perceive the humor easily which is designed visually; therefore verbal humor designs should be supported visually as much as possible. When we view Turkish Theatre, it has been seen that verbal humor is acquired through different language tricks, metaphor and imitation, contrasts, idioms, proverbs, tongue twisters, taut phony lies, ironies, jokes and riddles. Clumsiness, mimicry, jokes, movements about violence and motions contrast to the statement or situation can be talked about at the first step of the humor methods acquired by motion. The director's and the actor's contributions are very important at the movements that are acted by the guidance of the text plays so as to be comic. Different movement types which aren't in the text and that aren't contrast to play's topic should be tried in order to acquire humor.
