Persons with hearing impairments in the dramatic arts
NOVOTNÁ, Michala
This bachelor thesis concentrates on issues associated with people with hearing problems and their relationship with theatrical art. The aim of this work is to introduce the problems of studying theatrical art by individuals that are hearing impaired, and also the problems associated with employment for these people. The specifics of being hearing impaired are described in the theoretical section, including communication and education of the hearing impaired. The next chapter addresses theatrical art in relationship to the hearing impaired people. It also includes the performance of university subject Educational Drama of the Deaf (further reffered to as VDN). Also the employment opportunities after graduation from this university subject are covered and chapters the Hearing Impaired as Artists and Hearing Impaired as Educators are included. There is a very limited amount of specialist literature available on this problematic. It was chosen qualitative research method by using half structured interview so the information in the theoretical part were specified or broadened so the reader gets the best possible overview about this problematic. The target group were hearing impaired graduates of the VDN subject, they have the greatest experience in this sphere and therefore they can pass on lots of important information. By the interest of these graduates it can be concluded, that educational subjects opened up for specific target groups is a positive move towards breaking barriers between people who have normal hearing and people who are hearing impaired. This subject could be a model for specialists and the public, on how to further broaden and improve conditions for all disabled people. As outlined above, the scope of this of this bachelor thesis includes an analysis of the concerns of the specifics of the Hearing Impaired Theatre, the analysis incorporates the theatrical performance of the VDN students from a hearing impaired point of view. This bachelor thesis can be an informative source of information for the normal hearing part of a population about the problematic of the hearing impaired and about the Hearing Impaired Theatre.
