Rajnišová, Natálie ; SMOLÍK, Robert (advisor) ; KRÁLOVÁ, Andrea (referee)
In this thesis I will deal with a phenomenom of an analog image in a theatre. I will try to reflect this theme through an author project Chambre of minds on which I ve’been working during the last year of my studies at DAMU. In introduction I will illuminate a meaning of the analog image, in the first part I will focuss on a photography, film material and everything which is related to this in a theoretical but also technical way. Then I will introduce all this material in a context of the theatre, I will focuss on inspiring artists, who are touching this topic. In a practical part at first I will mention fundamental thoughts and specifics of an artistic movement Art brut, which is in my project deeply connected with images and fotomaterial. Then I will explain a basic concept of Chambre of minds, from now I will describe technological principles of used objects. Afterwards I will deal with a global proccessus of our creation during two last semesters and with a question of performance. The last step will be photography as holder of an idea in the theatre and I will apply it on an immersive theatre Pomezí. I will compare both of these projects from the point of view of using the analog material and principle of photography in the theatre. In conclusion I will summarize all my experiences and I will try to outline a result of my research in analog image.

This thesis presents the staging of performance TAJENKA. It's preparation took place

first original production, and describes the whole procedure of the story creation. She

how she has been evaulating the importance of individual fragments, and also the way she faced the work with sound engineers and directing, which ment a brand new experience for her. The thesis contains a description of all the phases of developement of the story, even those ways which were impossible, and justifies those obtions that were chosen. It offers insight into the artist's way of thinking and in the end this way is exposed to an evaulation, trying to reveal weaknesses, which are to be improved in future projects.

Motif of Fear in Children´s Production
Lenártová, Andrea ; TÄUBELOVÁ, Kristýna (advisor) ; SMOLÍK, Robert (referee)
Master's thesis deals with the children's production, which use fear as educational or entertainment aspect. The intention is to find these aspects in children's production and review their effects and impacts. It considers the comparison of these two aspects.
Selected problem is solved through author's own reflections, based on her childhood or her experience gained through working with children. It analyzes the children's production, as well as feelings of fear and anxiety.
The thesis provides an opportunity to get familiar with unconventional production for children. We found out that the production for kids must be more flexible than for adults. It is not always easy for parents to accept. This thesis can help beginning authors, interested in production for children, to become familiar with this issue and inspire them.
A part of the master's thesis is the author's reflection on her own artistic performance and moments of practical implementation, through which the author tries to complete theoretical approaches. The photo attachment is included in the text of thesis. In the end of the thesis is text attachment. There is also a CD-R included, on which there are records of some stagings mentioned in the text.

DRAWING + STAGE
Bartůňková, Tereza ; SMOLÍK, Robert (advisor) ; TÄUBELOVÁ, Kristýna (referee)
In my master’s thesis I narrow the subject of illustration in relation to set design, as described in my bachelor’s thesis, to the topic of drawing in performing arts. The work is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part aims at defining key concepts for the selected topic. Subsequently, I situate them in the context of theater, outlining the historical development of the use of drawing in performing arts and citing contemporary examples from this artistic field. In this part I mention some specific works, artists, and artistic groups concerned with these expressive means. The second part of the thesis is a practical reflection of my own theatrical work that was created during my graduate studies. Using my own experience and knowledge I attempt here to substantiate the claims made in the theoretical part.
