It’s Friday morning) in Stockholm. The preparations for the premiere of the familjemusikalen ”Peter Pan 2 – the Captain of the Kroks revenge” is in full swing. The elements of the ensemble, consisting of 10 adults and 16 children, sitting in the lobby, and also öppningsnumret. The children’s bright voices can be heard the most.
the Next is Intimans husregissör kålle is talking Gunnarsson and clapping their hands in rhythm to the catchy tune.
most of The kids in front of him is a 12-year-olds. In spite of his young age, many of them have already appeared in productions at Stockholm stadsteater, Folkteatern, and the Intima.
this is no beginner when it comes to the hiring of the children of his or her pieces. During his more than 20 years in the industry, he has solely set up family performances, often with a child in the leading roles.
” I’m trying as much as possible is to hire actors of the same age as the characters. Because of this, they don’t need to play to a certain age, but it may be in itself. It will be more genuine and real, then, ” he said.
The biggest benefit in , with the young actors, their spontaneous joy, ” he said. While the adults are in the years added to them with the way the children have a natural and natural course of action. However, there are also disadvantages, as do the five repetitionsveckorna to the next level.
” a Scratch, a scene of two, three or four times with the adults, it is. With kids you have to repeat the same scene ten times or so. In time, it is more of a challenge, ” he said.
he was as demanding on the children, and the older cast members.
” We, the pet is absolutely not with them. I can tell a chick is on the skarpen, just like I do with most adults. I think the children will love it. They know that we are taking them very seriously, and that they have confidence in to take care of.

five days a week, from Wednesday to Sunday. In the days of the week, they start at around 14.00, and the end is usually not until after 21: 00. On the weekends, it is full day.
in Order to keep up with the busy schedule they have been given time off from their school three afternoons a week, is not completely out of trouble.
“Some of the schools have been a bit long-winded, and I got to sit in the meetings with the school principals and teachers, in order to explain how we work and how much the kids are developing,” says kålle is talking Gunnarsson.
but it argues at the same time, in order that the children should have as little homework as possible during the repetitionsperioden.
” After school they are at the theater, and when we are finished, they need to get to bed quickly. Some of the teachers say that the children are at risk of falling behind in school, if they don’t get the homework done. However, I do feel that the kids are learning a lot here as well, “says kålle is talking Gunnarsson, and says:
” We are working on the text all of the time. Why is this in the script. They are learning English, places, and ideas. The pronunciation and the articulation. Then the dancing and singing we are the same. It can be anything from language and geography to do, and the music. However, not all teachers understand this.

” I’ve never seen it. We’re very, very sensitive and put a lot of weight and they have lots of fun here. We do lots of fun exercises, and anything else that strengthens the community. And I am calling for the adult actors to engage with and support their children. My goal is that the children are going to love it here, and I think that they are doing just that.
this is a nine-year-old daughter, and He is. She is one of the lost children, who helps Peter Pan fight the evil pirate, Captain Hook.
“Kimberly, hold, Zara Larsson, who their greatest role model, and when asked about her future career, she answers with lightning speed.
” I want to be an artist, and teaterstjärna.
She was already well on the way, made his debut at the age of seven, and ”Peter Pan 2” and is in her sixth class.
the Kimberlys mom, Karina Rydberg, who was up against Michael and the ”Stranger” in the Eurovision song contest in 1983, said that her daughter is busy throughout the fall and next spring.
“Then,” I say still ‘ no ‘ to a lot of things. First of all, I think that she is now a professional, in which case you will have to pay for the work. It is also very important that there is a child-friendly production, ” says Karina Works.
but also affects the Kimberlys school. Karina-He tells me that the teachers at the school, supporting the child’s initiative, under the condition that she has work to catch up on what she is missing.
” I see school as very important, but right now, it is a little bit in the second. We have been discussing this at home, and that’s a hard question. Kimberly has been singing since she learned to walk, and she loves to be on stage. Sometimes it feels like she was born to it. But if you want to be as good as she wants to, it’s not enough with the talent. Many people are born with a tremendous talent, but it is very, very hard work, ” says Karina-He said:
Now Kimberly, with a great vocal coach in London. His name is Johan Jämtberg and trained by Zara Larsson when she was a young girl. He is very friendly and helpful. The most important thing for me is the fact that she’s surrounded by good people, like john, kålle is talking.

right now, the focus is also a city on a puppet show. At the beginning of september, Eric Schmidt, up to the Russian playwright Anton chekhov’s classic ”the Seagull” is from 1896. In holmström’s a processed version of the be played all of the roles of the twelve and of the local sjätteklassare.
” There is a gap between the children on the stage, and the roles they play, and it’s fascinating to look at. When a child is crying, and says: ”You will never get back the time that had been” so clear in anything. My understanding is that you start to take a closer look at themselves, ” says Eric Schmidt.
During the four-week rehearsals, thought he was above the level of ambition, which were reasonable to meet.
” We were after school, so the days were long and arduous. Sometimes, the kids were tired and I was nagging a bit. There have been nights where I asked myself if I’ve gone too hard with the front. At the same time, I have been jättetydlig with the fact that they are going to tell me, the producer, or his parents, if something feels like a chore. However, when the parents came, they said, is always that the kids were so happy with them, ” he said.
– Eric Schmidt was also in the last year, just for this ensemble. Then, he set up the ”Scenes of an adult life”, in part inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s ”Scenes from a marriage”.
” It was a great day. The newspapers wrote about it, and the kids were really proud. It felt like they really grew and got more in the back. When I realized that I wanted to do, ”the Seagull” e-mails I have parents asking if their children were interested in to make a purchase. They all said ‘yes’. It confirms my feeling that the children are happy and feel joy in all of our projects, “he says, and continues:
” I think that children should be able to be part of this kind of thing. They are a bit of a test. Our society says that we need to be very careful with the kids, and of course, it is a reasonable one. However, in my experience, the kids in the scene is that they think that it is pretty cool to be in a professional context.
