Lásková, Petra ; HRDINOVÁ, Radmila (advisor) ; TICHÝ, Zdeněk (referee)
In this bachelor thesis I try to capture the basic principles of work of director Jan Mikulášek and by specific examples show their main characteristic features and difficulties in relation to the dramatic text. The thesis is focused on the analysis of Shakespeare?s plays directed by Jan Mikulášek: Hamlet at Divadlo Husa na provázku and Macbeth at Divadlo v Dlouhé. The basic source of information for my work are critical reflection of performances, interviews with authors, literature, video productions, and my own experiences and theatrical texts of plays of William Shakespeare: Hamlet translated by Zdeněk Urbánek and Macbeth in Jiří Josek translation as well.

Jiráskův Hronov - background of festival
Cajtlerová, Zuzana ; PROKOP, Petr (advisor) ; TICHÝ, Zdeněk (referee)
My bachelor thesis will be focused on the festival of amateur theater Jiráskův Hronov, which is the longest lasting festival of amateur theater - in Czech republic but also in the world. Jiráskův Hronov is completely unique and an original phenomenon of Czech amateur theater for several generations.
I'd looked at this festival of organizational aspects in its current form and in the context of a wide spectrum of nationwide festivals that precede it. The work will cover production side of things - both during the festival and in its preparatory stages. Another significant aspect of the work will be mapping out its financial situation during the previous years, and particularly at a time when the financial issue very actual - this year, for example, led to a shortening of the festival itself. In addition to financial changes occurred due to the departure of the long-running festival director Milan Strotzer - and the arrival of the new director Simona Bezoušková - or even significant program changes and even changes in the actual course of the festival.
Apart from the main aim of my thesis - to provide a global picture of the organizational background of the famous Czech Festival - my work also raises the question of the specificity of amateur production shows in the context of a specific functioning of amateur theater in general. My hypothesis would be the question whether the ensuring of such a festival has some specifics - due to professional theater and its shows.

Balzerová, Adéla ; Etlík, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Tichý, Zdeněk (referee)
This text is dealing with the phenomenon that could be described as one of the major tendencies in the contemporary Czech theatrical dramaturgy, the theatrical movie adaptations on the Czech stages. It focuses on the approach of the theater artists to the given original movies, specifically on the way the directors are handling the specifics of the film and the theatre language. This thesis uses the example of the selected theatrical productions in relation to the original movies to show the approaches that can prove to be successful and functional within the theatre language, the approaches than cannot and to emphasize the fact that the very selection of the original movie can be finally difficult to adapt. This thesis uses the various staging approaches to draw some general conclusions that might be useful to theater artists who want to address this issue in practice.
Keywords: Theatrical movie adaptation. Theatrical adaptation. Theatrical and cinematic language.

In my bachelor work I document the process of my own way of staging of V.Dyk´s play Ondřej and dragon (Ondřej a drak). The work includes researching results of historical and literary sources about this drama and also the description of dramaturgy work including my way of adaptation of the text, which is attached. One part of the work is dedicated to the cooperation with actors, especially in the first weeks of making the performance. The final performance was influenced by these first key weeks. I focused on Dyk´s plays, Ondřej and dragon and Don Quixot´s getting wiser which are thematically similar. According them I also wrote short definition of grotesque expresionism of V.Dyk´s dramas. Grotesque was one of the most important aspects of my dramaturgy vision since the begining of the staging.

In my work I considered theatre inscenations in broader context of influence over the theatre producers and the audience. It contains analysis of three projects each of different theatre approaches: site-specific-theatre, musical-social-theatre and poetry-physical-theatre. I view these performances from the perspective of Theatre as communication, Theatre as testimony and Theatre as therapy. My work also includes the influence upon me as an actor, who performed in project called Titus Andronicus_Let mouchy (Titus Andronicus_the Flight of a Fly).

Enlightened Actor
Hajdyla, Jiří ; Krofta, Josef (advisor) ; Tichý, Zdeněk (referee)
I am convinced that the theatre phenomenon is closely linked with light and its theatre performance characteristics. I am convinced that the first catharsis in the theatre history was the moment when a spectator experienced an awe while looking at the sunset and realizing his smallness. I am convinced that the wholeness of the creation of our world including its smallest details is based on theatre principles. Shouldn't theatre be the mirror of life? Is not man created as an image of God, according to the Bible?
Isn't nature with all its action and principles an image ? a mirror ? of something hidden, great, but intimate to us? In this respect, I would like to name the light as the agent of all these pictures. Light is a kind of informer of hidden things for the man ? things that man cannot see but the light tells him about them. The world is one great light theatre. It is a God's theatre in which we as well as all things around us are the theatre props and where the light enters as God's actor. For this reason, I as an actor see light as my colleague from whom I can learn a lot. Recognizing the possibilities of light in a theatre performance is a prerequisite for becoming an enlightened actor, an actor who desires to draw from the light, to be the light and to manage the stage space similarly to the light?

The Process of Staging a Play - Tennessee Williams - This Property Is Condemned
Riedlbauchová, Veronika ; Šavlíková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Tichý, Zdeněk (referee)
Abstract (Summary)
Riedlbauchová, Veronika: The Process of Staging a Play - Tennessee Williams - This Property Is Condemned, B.A. Thesis, Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, Theatre Faculty, Prague 2006, 46 pp.
The B.A. thesis reflects the process of presenting a one-act play "This Property Is Condemned" by Tennesse Williams, which was opened on the 29th of April in Řetízek (Řetězová ulice, Prague 1) as part of the summer semester 2004/2005 final exam, onstage. In this production, made in co-operation with the pedagogical staff and under the supervision of professor Josef Krofta, the second year students of the Alternative and Puppet Theatre Department - Veronika Riedlbauchová (direction - dramaturgy), Kateřina Štolcpartová (stage design) and the actors Miroslava Venclová, Jakub Prachař, Veronika Khomová, Luděk Smadiš and Jiří Chvalovský - took part.
The paper is divided into five chapters, each pursuing a different aspect of the process of theatre production, from the choice of text to the staging itself. The first chapter works up a detailed analysis of the play, which makes a growing point of the dramaturgical intention. Chapter two presents the dramaturgical process: choice of text, accentuation of the subject matter, the play´s structuring and process of scripting. The third chapter, concerned with scenic designing, gives description of the search for scenic expression and imagery from the first version to the beginning of the realization itself. The process of realization and its individual components are recounted in chapter four. The authoress tells us what problems and changes happened to occur during rehearsals and in what way these influenced the overall look of the play. She also comments on communication during rehearsals, i.e. co-operation with the actors, the stage setter and others. The fifth chapter finally gives summary and evaluation of the whole process of staging.
