Dario Fo´s Handbook in The Context of Drama Teaching
Berčíková, Anežka ; SIEGLOVÁ, Tereza (advisor) ; MIKEŠ, Vladimír (referee)
This thesis aims to familiarize the readers with the book by Dario Fo, an Italian playwright, called Manuale Minimo dell´attore (The Tricks of the Trade), published in 1987. My original motivation to write this thesis was the fact that this book had not been translated to Czech. The book deals with the life and acting and teaching experience of Dario Fo himself, Dario Fo is also the winner of the Nobel Prize for literature (1997). Furthermore, this thesis summarizes the formal structure of the Drama Handbook. Moreover, I cover various topics described in the Drama Handbook and I go on to compare them with the opinions of other playwrights. Those topics include improvisation, the conflict of content and form, inspiration by the Far East or work with the masque. The main benefit of this thesis is that the reader is familiarized with the book that had never been translated to Czech and thereby gets a chance to understand not only the approach of Dario Fo but also of authors with conflicting views.
