Potencial of Authentic Space and its Limits
Koníčková, Tereza ; Matásek, Petr (advisor) ; Žižka, Tomáš (referee)
In this paper I have dealt with various perspectives on the premises, authentic space, which is inspirating by own information about itself, which is bringing spirit of the place, which maybe hide some story. It is question of strong feeling, which is saying to you - have breake here and try to see something. At first I am writing this text leaning on my own experience, followed by factual information and sources that touch on or have they dealt with other artists, art groups and directions. I try to outline the options and procedures that space offers such a different way can inspire you to create images, animations, public events, performances, workshops, dance ... My goal is to offer readers a taste of this work and a hint of manifold variety of creation, which is a authentic space associated. The key issue for me is my master's project Bathrooms, whom I dealt with in cooperation with Tereza Benesova last two years of Master's studies at Damu in Prague alternately in the Czech Republic and France. Verifying the potential of space as such and researching its limits.

In the last 3 years I was dealing with the question of the presence of personal in teh impersonal - as it could be read in the title of my thesis. This still what interests me the most - find a way to express our inner world in public spaces and therefore create aspecial way of theatre. In my thesis I represent the way lead me from the first meeting of alternative theatre to a real site-specific theatre performance I created with Krepsko theatre group.
I believe using necligent theatre spaces of the city is a huge opportunity for contemporary alternative theatre. Getting touch with the people in a special and easy way, creating a new kind of theatre and healing the ritten part of the city, bringing new life there are also the benefits if this kind of site-specific theatre.
