Bachelor thesis titled Deaf in Slovakian pantomime, with the tagline Theatre of
Quiet Sparks, discusses the use of mime in dramatic education of deaf but also
their creation that is represented by artists of Silent Sparks Theatre. A
substantial part of the thesis is the view of the teaching activities and the use of
mime as an educational method drama by therapists and educators. Based on
watching the performances and interviews with deaf actors I got the opportunity
to compare the uptake and use of pantomime at present. Finding common and
distinctive characters by expressing silent art is enriching knowledge for hearing
and deaf actors. With searching for these characters I got forthcoming help from
artistic director of the theater Quiet Sparks Peter Vrťo. The work contains many
quotes from interviews i have been given by the members of Silent Sparks
Theatre. Overview and description of the creation of a single professional deaf
theater in Slovakia, through the eyes of a professional mime and disinterested
spectator is the second part of the thesis. Interviews and meetings with deaf
actors were for me as the author bachelor thesis huge enrichment not only of a
professional but also personal terms.

Looking for Theatre Space
Štourač, Pavel ; Vedral, Jan (advisor) ; Hančil, Jan (referee) ; Mikotová, Zoja (referee)
For the needs of this thesis I have focused mainly on the part of my work, which is connected with theatre creation in a specific non-theatrical space. Thus work, which is closely connected to the chosen space, which is not primarily allocated for theatre. For example old factories, industrial spaces, countryside, the surface of lake or moving train. Thus I have been following up the thoughts of what it means ?theatrical and ?non-theatrical? space and what it demands from actors and also how differently it is perceived and experienced by spectators compared to the traditional theatre environment

Theatre as an Invitation to Interpersonal Aesthetic Communication
Šplíchalová, Kateřina ; Klíma, Miloslav (advisor) ; Mikotová, Zoja (referee) ; Provazník, Jaroslav (referee) ; Valenta, Josef (referee)
THEATRE AS AN INVITATION TO INTERPERSONAL AESTHETIC COMMUNICATION (theatre activities with actors with mental diseases and professionals actors) In this dissertation, I wil start by offering a framework for understanding ?theatre in a specific theatre group? - with actors with mental diseases living in the mental home in general. I will then discuss possible variations of this theme in social interactions (arttherapy, drama education?). After laying these foundations, I will present several lines of research in this area that illustarate how special theatre work with mentally retarded can influence the professional and practical theatre research (interviews with theatre directors, dramaturgist, scenographer and actors). I will also describe a series of pilot performances that focus on principals of activities demonstrating collective theatre searching of mentally disabled persons. My findings demonstarate that theatre representations have a dramatic impact on fantasy, inner life and behaviors of all participants. I attempted to clarify the underlying process that leds actors with mental disess to play with puppets, to make an alternative theatre. I am engaged in a large artistic movement which would like to accomplish an integration of puppet theatre in asylums - hospitals for mentally disabled people. I have been working with mentally disabled actors for eight years already. I have always wanted to enter their imagination and to be able to understand how they think and why. We try to find different ways to come up with a concrete stage solution. It becomes important to understand the rehearsing processes underlying the self-representation of an actor with mental diseas - in terms of how it may impact ones´s own attitudes and behavior, as wel as how it may influence his interactions with others.
