Theatre mask and make-up as an artefact and a process
Šonková, Monika ; PETIŠKOVÁ, Ladislava (advisor) ; KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ, Zdeňka (referee)
This work represents a process of a search of a relationship to the theatre mask and costume, it is an evidence of the process of enquiry mainly through theatrical experience.
The first part of the paper is introducing historical development of a mask, however it?s goal is not to describe the journey of a mask, ritual and theatre, it only sometimes refers to such anthropological studies. The next part is related to active application of mask in all aspects of human activities. Further work describes the finding of its own way of application and work with a mask and a costume and is reflecting on the authorship performances. Also the pedagogical methods of using a mask are being mentioned. The end of this work is dedicated to a research of a mask and a masked person in the context of theatrical work. In the appendix, there are the interviews with some of the contemporary artists related to the acting with a mask and use of mask in theatre plays.
The discovering of a need and an effect of a mask through a play, through a possibility of change, that is a question for an actor. A mask is also an aesthetic component of theatre, it is a part of a costume, a part of scenography. But for an actor, mask is a partner. It is a chance to extend the limits of an expression into imaginary dimension. This work is a search into what exactly mask is, if the make-up-covered face of actor is a mask or an aesthetic supplement, if it can change the actor?s identity, if he needs it, but above all ? how can he approach it and make it his own.

Movement as my journey to authorial acting
Moravec, Ondřej ; Kratochvílová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Kroschlová, Eva (referee)
This thesis tries to grasp my own journey to movement and authorial performance. Its first part is focused on space, rhythm, tempo perceiving, energy, internal movement and the actual movement in the lessons of acting with inner partner. The second part represents my experience with movement in the lessons of Zdenička Kratochvílová - working with mask, pantomime basics and work on Beckett´s Play without Words II (Acte sans paroles II) that was our public presentation performance. It the second part, I also recorded my experience with contact improvisation in the lessons of Monika Rebcová from HAMU. The last (third) part reflects my authorial performance "Jano, nestůj tu jak štafle!!" ("Jane, don´t stand here like that!!") that topped off my work at KATaP. Here I monitor the gradual development of the performance - the initial ideas, the origination and changes of the text (see attachments), public rehearsals, movement improvisations, search for expression and character representation. The performance was a search for my own authorial stand and came into existence in cooperation with Nastja Astashina. The thesis is accompanied by a DVD with the presentation Beckett´s play and my authorial presentation "Jano, nestůj tu jak štafle!!" ("Jane, don´t stand here like that!!")
