Relation between dramatic text and inscenation
Kryzová, Lucie ; ULLRICHOVÁ, Daria (advisor) ; HANČIL, Jan (referee)
Lucie Kryzová in her thesis addresses the issue of the relation between dramatic text and inscenation. The work is divided into two parts ? theoretical and practical. Firstly, used terminology is defined in the theoretical part. The author deals with crucial theories of Czech theater science (Jiří Veltruský and Otakar Zich?s work). Subsequently, she explores when a controversial relation between dramatic text and scenic piece is created, addresses the directors? apriorism and investigates the question of stylization of visualized theater. The second part has rather personal touch as it deals with author?s personal experience. Lucie tries to apply the findings from the theoretical part in her own work. She describes six semesters of her undergraduate studies of Directory-Dramaturgy.

Ivan Vyskočil and his Pedagogics
Petelíková, Eva ; ČUNDERLE, Michal (advisor) ; HANČIL, Jan (referee)
In this thesis I try to couple my own experience gained through contact with
prof. Ivan Vyskočil's pedagogy with the theoretical points of view concerning with
an audience reception. My thesis consists of two parts.
First part is dedicated to a phenomenon of spectatorship. I focus mainly on the
ontological principle of theatre production and on the feedback in the relationship
between a spectator and an actor related to that principle. My work is based on
the thesis of Otakar Zich, Eduard Bullough, Jaroslav Etlík, Max Herrmann and
notably Erika Fischer-Lichte. I mention the physiological basis of perception
relating to the so-called mirror neurons. I attempt to contextualize the theatretheoretical
and the neuroscientific view on a reception as a psycho-physical
experience.
In the second part of my thesis I concentrate on the conception of study
developed by prof. Ivan Vyskočil (who is a founder of the Department of
Authorial Creativity and Pedagogy at The Theatre Faculty of the Academy of
Performing Arts in Prague) that is grounded in a cultivation of psychosomatic
fitness and in a training of self-reflecting creators-actors, who are spectators as
well.
At the end of my thesis I try to highlight a connection between a cultivation of
psychosomatic fitness itself through the study of acting at the Department of
Authorial Creativity and Pedagogy and a development of certain audience
competence that is closely related to a quality of aesthetical experience and its
reflection and even to the work of theatrical critic as well, which is one of goals of
the study at the Departement of Theory and Criticism at DAMU.

Johnny´s journey: Observation of a young disciple of acting
Večeřa, Jan ; HANČIL, Jan (advisor) ; RUT, Přemysl (referee)
In my thesis, I deal with the acting discipline in the context of what I have learnt during my studies at the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (The Department of Authorial Creativity and Pedagogy) and in the context of what I have learnt during my life in general. Thus, the work is, in many instances, a personal confession on the theme of acting rather than an academic or scientific paper.
Each chapter is opened with a new theme which I attempt to analyse and explore from the adept of acting point of view. The themes I touch upon are, among others: the personality of the actor, his authenticity, spontaneity, his acting self-consciousness etc.
The language of the analysis is my own and the results are compared with existing theories. The main theme of my thesis could be defined as interconnection of the human and the actor´s existence, in other words, the relationship of the actor with life-his own and the life of people around him.
I am searching for a relationship between life and acting and I attempt to relate both in some context. When exploring the themes, I refer to my experience and memories from childhood (and memories of others as well), growing up, adulthood, my studies etc. In some sections, I reflect upon my acting experience and I relate them to particular performances or roles.

Acting as Intention Process
Švestková, Marie ; TICHÝ, Zdeněk (advisor) ; HANČIL, Jan (referee)
What have an influence on communication between actor and viewer (from the actor´s point of view)? This work does not have an ambition to fulfill this topic. It has intentionally intuitive going.
Main inspiration for it was my own self-centeredness and lack of author´s courage.
Another inspiration - I and Thou from Martin Buber ? was replaced by Postdramatic theatre from Hans-Thies Lehmann in closing stage.

Authorial Acting and its changes during the therapy of addicts
Křesadlová, Václava ; HANČIL, Jan (advisor) ; CHRZ, Vladimír (referee)
In my dissertation, I try to reflect my own experiences with application of authorial approach to acting in therapeutic community for drug addicts. I work as a therapist for twelve years in therapeutic community Magdaléna. I guarantee nonverbal technique program and I lead a theatre project once a year periodically.My dissertation is divided to two main parts. First I focus on questions about authorial acting and its pedagogics. I try to explain specifics that are brought by authorial approach to acting. I also describe acting with the inner partner and drama propaedeutic based on free playing and collective improvisation. These dramatic experiments help participants during their own building of psychosomatic condition, which is core of studies on Authorial acting and pedagogics department, DAMU in Prague.Second part of my dissertation is dedicated to my own work with drug addicts. I try to describe problems of therapy in community, especially the questions connected with dramatic expression of the clients. As I told before, I lead nonverbal technique program in Magdaléna community and I created my own conception of such program and it is described enough in my dissertation. I also try to explain drama projects preparations in community and show such cooperation in eleven specific performances we did with different clients during the time.Finally, I reflect relationship between authorial acting and psychotherapy. I perceive the ability to act creatively in direct contact with the others as the most important thing in both cases. That is why I demur at the question of a self-experience in therapy and psychosomatic condition in authorial acting and their mutual relationship.
