Actor or Dancer
Šurková, Julie ; NOVÁK, Vladimír (advisor) ; TRPIŠOVSKÝ, Lukáš (referee)
This thesis is a theoretical description of my study of current and modern dance at the dance conservatory Duncan Centre. The description continues with my study at the Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. There is a comparison of acting and dancing. Both are close and, at the same time, distant areas of performance. The goal of the thesis it to identify the elements that are shared or unique between them. Specifically, there is a description of the difficulties for a dancer to become an actor and, on the other hand, for an actor to become a dancer. There is also a list of conditions that need to be met for somebody to be a full-time dancer and actor. The first part of the thesis describes my experience and my view of an actor and dancer. The term 'performer' is discussed as it should not be used for all the people who do more than one artistic area. The second part of the thesis deals with training that is needed for dancing and acting. There is a list of the requirements needed for a dancer to become an actor. The last part of the thesis focuses on a trial period and it finds events when the areas merge in one.
