Structured drama Bran
Svobodová, Barbora ; MARUŠÁK, Radek (advisor) ; ULRYCHOVÁ, Irina (referee)
In this thesis I would like to describe the planning, realization and reflection of a two two-day structured drama workshops named Bran. I put those into practice with two different groups. I would like to discuss the processing of literature, the planning of the activities and practice based on the objectives set, the development of the mentioned realisation and its conclusions. Furthermore I would like to focus on drawing a comparison between the two workshops because of the difference between the average age of the two groups involved, which was exactly 10 years. The younger group of players has an aríthmetic mean of 13,5 years of age, the older group of 23,5 years of age.

Turning nonsense poetry into a performance
Šteidlová, Kateřina ; MARUŠÁK, Radek (advisor) ; MACHKOVÁ, Eva (referee)
This bachelor thesis describes the process of staging a performance with two adolescent girls who attend drama classes at art school. Nonsense poetry became the subject of our interest. Both girls had worked on interpretation of this type of poetry in their recitation classes. However, creating a poetic production was new experience and an opportunity to explore staging possibilities.
I drew on their skills and experience gained in previous drama studies as well as their knowledge of other fields of art. Thus, in the performance, we made the best of the ability to work with hyperbole, use physical expression, and evoke the atmosphere by sound and music.
In respective chapters of the thesis, the students I worked with are introduced both in terms of their experience with drama studies and in terms of developmental psychology. Moreover, I analyze our subject, explain the dramaturgical and directorial concept and describe our work on developing outlined situations. Furthermore, changes in initial concept and their causes are detailed. Finally, I take performance re-runs into consideration and examine their effect on the final version of the production.

The Art of Living Word
Harčaríková, Marica ; MARUŠÁK, Radek (advisor) ; BERGMAN, Aleš (referee)
In the first part of my thesis which consists of two parts - theoretical and empirical - I concentrate upon the ways of "word reviving" through human voice, speech and their artistic ways of expression, namely declamation, recitation, artistic recitation - where beside structuring of recitation I focus on collective recitation. Interpretation is a part of meaningful work with the word. I deal with its meaning from the point-of-view of its relationship with literary work. I deal with the concept of poetry and theatre, for closer specification of theatre form of poetry theatre and for fuller understanding of its content. I focus on the issue of poetry theatre, as an independent theatre form which has developed in the Central European region, especially in the non-professional theatre, in certain theoretical anchorages and historical connections. I mention a nationwide competition of artistic word and poetry theatres - Hviezdoslavov Kubin - especially with the children poetry theatre, within the category of children reciting groups. And last but not least, in the second part of my thesis I concentrate on the creative process with a children group, on the possibility of working with lyrical text.

The Meaning of Scenography in Children´s Theatre
Čmelíková, Barbora ; VOSTÁREK, Karel (advisor) ; MARUŠÁK, Radek (referee)
This diploma thesis presents a theoretical contemplation of scenography in children´s theatre supported by examples from the author´s own experience. It confirms scenography to be closely connected with the dramaturgical and directorial part of the whole creative process and to be a full-valued component of every single inscenation´s preparation. The work analyses the theatre space, mutual relations between the stage and the front, particular scenographic elements and the objective factors that influence creation of stage setting in children´s theatre. The thesis shows that the most determining of these are the specific characteristics of the children´s group and the personality of their teacher or leader. It also examines how technical as well as material conditions affect the choice and creation of stage setting. This diploma paper comes to the conclusion that limited conditions may obstacle the way to a theatre performance and mainly its scenography, but in the end they represent a challenge to search for creative solutions.
