Theatre as a fine art medium
Täubelová, Kristýna ; Kalfus, Pavel (advisor) ; Preková, Jana (referee) ; Matásek, Petr (referee)
In my thesis I am analyzing scenographic creation from the point of view of the fine artist, who is working with tools typical for the theater, which means that they are using theater as a fine art medium. This also touches upon a specific trend in contemporary theater practice, in which there is an intermingling of fine art and theatrical elements

Movement Theatre, Dance and puppets in the Czech
Hayashi, Yumi ; Matásek, Petr (advisor) ; Täubelová, Kristýna (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on a search of using puppets possibilities
of Movement Theater and on study of the Czech and Japanese puppet tradition.
It is divided into two main parts. The first part summarizes the theoretical knowledge of the importance of puppets and Puppet Theater in the Czech
and Japanese culture. The second part describes the Red Dream Červený sen performance formation accompanied by stage design proposals, costumes
and puppets.
The chapter concerning traditional Japanese Puppet Theater explains Japanese mentality and philosophy and religion influences. From the Czech Movement Theater the phenomenon of Cirque Nouveau is described. There is also
a comparison between the Japanese and Czech approach of using puppets.
From the knowledge of both cultures come sources of mutual inspiration.
The Červený sen (Red Dream) dance performance began as a joint project
of the Academy of Music (HAMU) - students of choreography with the intention
of acting and dancing options of puppets. The story concentrates on powerful women's emotions in three acts: desire for love, the desire for beauty and desire for power. The main roles of three women in critical life situations
are Caren from the story of Hans Christian Andersen The Red Shoes,
Yaoya Oshichi from the Japanese legend of disappointed love and
Lady Macbeth from William Shakespeare's tragedy. Short stories are connected
by a symbolic red color. The teenage girl watches the fate of three women
and learns a moral lesson.

To be Alice
Stránská, Marianna ; Kalfus, Pavel (advisor) ; Täubelová, Kristýna (referee)
The inscenators have no ambition to illustrate the original text literally, but to do their best in offering to spectators a journey into the land of fantasy so wonderfully inspired by the original text. Or - at least - to show the way how to get inspired by.
The B.A. presentation (To be Alice) works with such themes as: imagination, childhood experiences, remembrances, associations, with memory, with space and objects, but first of all it is focussed towards the spectator himself. The presentation seeks ways how to activate the spectators´s imagination and how to work with it, to use it.
The B.A. work is of three parts:
A. Introduction - how the idea was born, and the script of the performance
B. Theory - common definitions of mentioned notions
C. Practise - the analysis of the author´s performance Kabaret luknja

An Object in a Dancing Performance
Koníčková, Tereza ; Kalfus, Pavel (advisor) ; Täubelová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Tománek, Alois (referee)
This work relates to the play which is called Mirar mucho tiempo tus
valles. The production originated in London in 2009 during my exchange
studies at Rose Bruford College in cooperation with a Spanish group of
my exchange colleagues as actors and a director. The main topic of my
essay is an object in a dancing performance. The piece deals with
distorted relations of four characters who are intertwined to each
other. This production has become for all of us an experiment of
actions. It has been for me an experience with space and objects on the
stage.
I consider this to be the most interesting and inspiring project I have
ever done so far. With this experience I have found another ways for my
future work as a stage designer.

Author Work and Creative Meaning of Material
Benešová, Tereza ; Kalfus, Pavel (advisor) ; Täubelová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Smolík, Robert (referee)
As a part of DAMU studies I participated on several various projects as a designer and a performer. Although they were different in many respects, in most of them was possible, and I think even appropriate, to use original work with material as an important source of inspiration. This has been the case in case of stage design for the performance Three months' Vacation, which is the practical part of my thesis. The first part of the text includes introduction to the topic of production of Three months' Vacation and a more detailed explanation of its creative solution. The second part deals with creative meaning of material with regard to other projects, which I took part in within study of scenography at the Department of alternative and puppet theater of DAMU and which are related to the topic.
