Acting: Journey to be an actor, journey to play a character
Volavá, Zuzana ; VELDOVÁ, Apolena (advisor) ; SÍLOVÁ, Zuzana (referee)
This Thesis describes my journey towards the theatre and personal and professional developement during my studies of classic theatre acting at the Academy of Performing Arts. I worked with my experience, to compile experience in overcoming obstacles to study specific roles. I touched upon the problem of how to combine internal and external components of actors in confrontation with feedback, defining rules and common objectives of acting. What are the risks, blocks and distractions of how to create and how to fight them? What the acting world does with personality? The goal of this Thesis, after 4 years of study and practice in the theater DISK, is to find out what I could consciously bring into the theater, how it has an effect on me and how I understand the sense of drama and entertainment practice.

THE ACTOR-DIRECTOR COOPERATION ON CREATION OF DRAMATIC CHARACTER
Šanda, Václav ; TÖPFER, Tomáš (advisor) ; KORČÁK, Jakub (referee)
In my thesis I would like to describe the relationship between the two of the most cardinal professions that take part on the creation of a theatre production. A director is the person who creates and influences the most the idea, thoughts and genre of the production; and an actor is the one who embodies all of this on stage. I want to try to clearly demonstrate difficulties or, in the other hand, inspirational sources, which the actor is dealing with during creation of a role, depending and changing in relation with the director. As a basis of this work I chose my personal experience with two directors, whose stance during the work and relation to the actor is strongly different. First of them is Ladislav Smoček, director and playwright of Cinoherni klub. Then I would like to mention principles of cooperation with director Pavel Khek. In the first part of my thesis I want to make brief insight into history of direction and try to describe basic evolution of actor-director relationship. My goal is not to present comprehensive survey of direction history. My goal is to refer to different approaches and changes in actor-director cooperation.

Vaněk, Tomáš ; PAVELKA, Tomáš (advisor) ; NEBESKÝ, Jan (referee)
My thesis discusses not only an influence of dramatic genres and styles on the actor during creation of character and its performance, but also it is about options and differences in the acting stylisation, its understanding and theoretical overview.
It is expressed here through my own experiences with examples of my work from my study on DAMU, my previous and following works in praxis.
I'm trying to express my own opinion on styling actor in the genre, based on my experiences and I'm trying to figure out, how the experiences affected or could affect my creation.

CREATION OF ACTOR´S PART AND THE UNDERSTUDY
Horáková, Nina ; TÖPFER, Tomáš (advisor) ; KUDLÁČKOVÁ, Jana (referee)
I am particularly interested in the ways of developing a character. The description of actor?s work on the role starting from the read-through to the premiere and acting in the following performances. Where can actors draw inspiration from, how can they cope with the problems related to their preparation at rehearsals, how can they prepare their bodies or what are the limits of an actor's creativity? I am concerned with the creative process, which begins with analysing the drama, identifying its principal motif, as well as the main task of the drama. I deal with this topic on the basis of my own experience using a specific description of the work on the roles during my studies at the Theatre Faculty of Academy of Performing Arts as well as on the roles I performed in my one-year theatrical practice after my studies. The final part explores the issues of the understudies or covers in the theatre.

To be and to play
Losová, Anna ; VELDOVÁ, Apolena (advisor) ; DEÁK, Juraj (referee)
This thesis aims to thoroughly analyze and define terms associated with acting like an existence on the stage, experiencing, expressing and illustrating. The first part examines the difference between acting and being on the stage, followed by chapters about experiencing and pretending and potential negative aspects of such acting. Attention is also paid to the issue of repetition of acting performance. Overall, the work aims to reflect on the acting profession, taking into account personal experiences of the author, highlighting the common phenomena and demonstrating each of them, and how it was reflected specifically in her work during her studies at the Academy of Performing Arts. The theoretical part is supported by many quotations which depict precisely and support the author's thoughts precisely. The practical part focuses on the process of creating a graduate role of Raisa Gurmyžská in Ostrovsky's play The Forest.
