The Alfred Jarry Pantomime
Plicková, Karolina ; Christov, Petr (advisor) ; Pšenička, Martin (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to employ a theatrological approach to the work of one of the most original and influential Czech pantomime troupes of all time, entitled Pantomima Alfreda Jarryho (the Alfred Jarry Pantomime, AJP). The company was established in 1966 in Prague by two young mime artists Boris Hybner and Ctibor Turba and existed as late as the political liquidation of the troupe in 1972 that came due to the process of the so-called normalization period in the former Czechoslovakia. The thesis consists of four major parts that are divided into several subsections. The first part deals with the historical contexts of the art of mime, both international and domestic. The AJP troupe represents the second generation of Czech pantomime that refused the style of the so-called modern pantomime expressed in the international context by Marcel Marceau and in the Czech context by Ladislav Fialka at the Theatre Na zábradlí (Theatre on the Balustrade). Since there is no monograph strictly based on this theatre, although it played a major role among the newly established small theatres in the sixties (and had an important influence on the poetics of the AJP troupe), we briefly introduce the poetics of both the pantomime company led by Fialka and the drama company led by the director Jan Grossman,...

Teaching of Mime theater in Slovakia
Kasprzyk, Tomáš ; HALAŠ, Adam (advisor) ; MUSIL, Dušan (referee)
Master’s dissertation about Teaching of mime in Slovakia is logical sequel to my
bachelor’s studies dissertation about Festival PAN. The dissertation begins with a
brief summary of some major slovak mimes and a new generation growing up at
Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. After pointing out the diversity and vitality of
slovak mime scene dissertation passes to the standing of mime art in slovak school
system, compares it with czech school system and ends with chapter about the
Association of professional mimes of Slovakia. My sources were mainly interviews
with slovak mimes and pedagogues of basic art schools, conservatories and
Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava and the official documents of Slovak and
Czech Republic concerning art education. My inspiration was the founding of AMIS
association and festival PAN Art, both of which shift the perception of mime closer to
mime of today. With my education, which I acquired on Academy in Prague and my
experience in art and pedagogy I am an active member of the association and I act
as judge at the PAN Art festival and my goal as well as goal of this dissertation is to
provide a new perspective in the view of slovak mime and it’s teaching methods.

MIMOZA
Vnouček, Jonatan ; BYČEK, Alexej (advisor) ; SOPROVÁ, Jana (referee)
The thesis focuses on the pantomime theater group MIMOZA in the political context of 1970’s and 1980’s and the influence of this historical period on the group productions. Thesis utilizes the method of semi-structured interview and it asks: to what extent the political situation influenced the production of the group. The thesis mentions an example of improvisation with the name of the play: Harakiri or ikebana. This particular play was performed only once and then banned. The example of this play shows that even though the members of the theater group saw themselves as apolitical, the political situation of the period did influence MIMOZA’s work.

Teatro salone italiano in Prague
Tillmanová, Hana ; Ottlová, Marta (advisor) ; Jakubcová, Alena (referee)
This BA thesis paints a portrait of one of the most interesting Vinohrady arenas, a permanent variety theatre founded by Italian theatre entre- preneur Eugenio Averino in 1875. The work partially departs from scarce entries in extant scholarship but mostly relies on independent source research, focused on a detailled study of the advertising and reportage tra- ced within contemporary periodicals and surviving theatre posters and programmes. The goal of the work is to provide as precise facts as possible concerning the theatre itself, its programme and the people performing in it and participating in its activity, with emphasis on a detailled differentiation of the individual stages of the theatre's development and with consideration for the theatre's position within Prague's cultural life.
