Abstract

The article considers the key characteristics of the children’s rehabilitation theatre which ensure the development of culture-leisure competences by children and youth with health limitations. The article offers an analysis of dynamics of involvement of pupils and students in artistic theatrical activities that can be observed on three levels: personal-adaptational, social-adaptational and inclusive. It is proved that within the space of a theatre every child has the opportunity to find his/her own way of learning, creative self-expression, mastering of cultural values. There is revealed the impact of the international integration festivals of life creation "Way to Success" in order to acquire the new social experience by pupils and to extend the communication circle. There is analyzed the technological aspect of a creative personality formation in terms of the children’s rehabilitation theatre, represented by the art rehabilitation technology. Owing to the organic association of the technology of various arts (theatre, literature, descriptive, choreographic, musical and vocal) and the consistent implementation of the five stages of the work (preparatory, diagnostic, design, realizable and final) there is achieved not only the high-quality leap of cultural growth of an individual, but the development of culture-leisure competences. The author argues the importance of individualized and statistic monitoring in the system of development of culture-leisure competences by children and youth with health limitations.
