Three caves
Hnilička, Jan ; VOSTÁREK, Karel (advisor) ; SCHWARZOVÁ, Kateřina (referee)
For my BA Thesis I chose a creation process of theatre production based on novel Three Cave Mountain by Per Olov Enquist in Dagmar Theatre Studio in Karlovy Vary. I perceived this project as a chance to agglutinate a new group of students of different age and experiences and to offer them opportunities to evolve through theatre work. At the same time it was my goal to create simple and communicatory production with help of means of puppet theatre. In my BA Thesis I describe whole process of genesis of the production from initial conditions, through plans and visions, up to the actual rehearsing and reflection of the resulting theatre piece.

Pařízek, Aleš ; PROVAZNÍK, Jaroslav (advisor) ; VOSTÁREK, Karel (referee)
The thesis called The Costume in the Theatre Played by Adolescents attempts to get a look in a specific area which is part of any theatre production. In the theoretical sphere it looks at the concept of the costume from the point of view of the current theatrology, defines its function as one of the important signs of the theatre communication and perceives it as a significant style-forming element of any theatre production. It summarizes the development of the costume in different periods of the history of the European theatre and deals with its use in the context of the school theatre of religious orders. In the narrower point of view it opens up a question of the function of clothing as a costume in civilian life. It specifies it as an important manifestation of identification with the belonging to certain groups - subcultures and looks also at the issue of the use of costumes during experiential events such as LARP and Cosplay. The thesis demonstrates on specific examples of several theatrical productions different variants of the work with a costume in the theatre played by adolescents nowadays. The research section of the thesis offers a framework view on the issue of the use of a costume in theatre groups in elementary schools of arts and their public presentations.

The Meaning of Scenography in Children´s Theatre
Čmelíková, Barbora ; VOSTÁREK, Karel (advisor) ; MARUŠÁK, Radek (referee)
This diploma thesis presents a theoretical contemplation of scenography in children´s theatre supported by examples from the author´s own experience. It confirms scenography to be closely connected with the dramaturgical and directorial part of the whole creative process and to be a full-valued component of every single inscenation´s preparation. The work analyses the theatre space, mutual relations between the stage and the front, particular scenographic elements and the objective factors that influence creation of stage setting in children´s theatre. The thesis shows that the most determining of these are the specific characteristics of the children´s group and the personality of their teacher or leader. It also examines how technical as well as material conditions affect the choice and creation of stage setting. This diploma paper comes to the conclusion that limited conditions may obstacle the way to a theatre performance and mainly its scenography, but in the end they represent a challenge to search for creative solutions.
