Entertainer is ... Known in Russia entertainer

Entertainer is an entertainer of a variety genre, performing the role of a liaison in concert programs. From his professionalism depends the success of the whole concert. The ability to fill pauses between numbers is the high art that distinguishes a true artist.

Recipe for success

The host-entertainer should be eloquent, fluent in literary language, and most importantly - the actor needs wit. A sense of humor and the ability to joke in time are the key to a successful performance on the stage. Concert numbers follow one after another, the audience in the hall is always waiting for the continuation. However, the following statement does not always look like a continuation of the previous one. And for the concert to be organized, a leading entertainer enters the stage. Its task is to tie together the performances of all the artists participating in the performance.

Creativity

The best entertainer is an artist capable of improvisation. Most often he has to perform between numbers in a concert, and in order for the audience not to lose interest in what is happening on stage, he must switch the spectators' attention to himself, give out some reprises, tell a short funny story, make sure that those present in the hall do not Bored.

For the first time, the entertainer as an art form appeared in the middle of the 19th century in Paris in Montmartre, cabaret and cafe. The entertainer is, above all, a good dramatic actor, capable of leading the audience. He must also perfectly master the art of dialogue.

Psychology of the genre

In addition, the entertainer is a psychologist who feels the mood of the public. Ideally, the artist must take hold of the attention of the entire auditorium and hold it tightly in his hands. If he does not have enough talent for this, he should at least entertain the audience while they wait for the next performer to enter the stage.

The entertainer should be aware of all political events of the last days, since the best reprises are jokes on topical topics. A good memory should help the artist memorize the main events that have taken place in the world lately, as the entertainer, among other things, is the bearer of news, which he shares with the audience during pauses between concert numbers.

Tent programs

A special talent must have an entertainer in a circus, since his duties include not only the announcement of program numbers, but also participation in clownery. He, as the manager, has to restrain not to the extent of zealous "rugby" and constantly call them to order. "Carpet", or "red" - are circus clowns, filling the breaks between numbers. The entertainer in the circus, or, as it is also called, the Sprehshtalmeister, leads the whole show from beginning to end.

Eduard Apollobov

In some cases, the role of the host of the concert program is performed by the entertainer - the doll, if the presentation requires this. Miniature actors in the puppet theater are better combined with the same leading - on the thread. For example, the entertainer of Obraztsov Theater - a famous character Eduard Apollobov - is a magnificent doll with the voice of People's Artist Zinovy Gerdt, who copes with the role of the presenter no worse than the present.
