Theatre decoration? Set design? Scenography?
Vöröšová, Markéta ; KOUBSKÁ, Vlasta (advisor) ; CÍSAŘ, Jan (referee)
This thesis focuses on and compares the theoretical perception of scenography in the works of Czech aestheticians Otakar Zich and Růžena Vacková.
The whole comparison is integrated into the context of Czech modern scenography. Several key productions were chosen to demonstrate new tendencies that appeared at the specified time point in our theatre history. The thesis mentions theatre authors together with their works that played important role in forming Zich?s and Vacková?s opinions and theatre conceptions.
Taking into account how versatile personalities Otakar Zich and Růžena Vacková were it was necessary to bring up all areas of their activities. I attempted to summarize their professional careers and their influence on followers and I also wanted not to omit their life?s history . I deal with the importance of Zich´s key work Estetika dramatického umění and I also focused on personality of Vacková and the circumstances of the creation of Výtvarný projev v dramatickém umění.
It is a compilation work in which I try to present two approaches to the visual component of theatre performances. I compare their terminology used. I try to describe some aspects of scenography which Vacková developed under the influence of her predecessor and teacher and also the aspects that she was not in accordance with. Further, I focus on the problems of the possible forms of set design, connection between scenography and painting or architecture, and also on how the authors conceived the ideal scene, on whether they attached greater or lesser importance to stage directions and also on the problems of light, costumes, masks, stage objects?
This thesis should be perceived as a mere starting point for further in-depth exploration. There is a possibility to go deeper into details and/or extend the view so as to cover also other representatives of the Czech theatre theory with their scenography conceptions. I hope that, in the future, I will be able to continue working on this topic and to cover the history of Czech set desing theory in its integrity up to present days.

The South Bohemian National Theatre in the 30th of the 20th Century
ŠVESTKOVÁ, Jitka
The main aim of this project is to introduce the developement of the national theatre in České Budějovice in 1930s. We got the important information by reading a few books and mostly from period magazines, newspapers and records stored in the National local archives in České Budějovice. Unfortunatelly, despite thorough search for information we cannot ensure it is all credible. However, we tried hard to create complete a complex overview of drama in those days. First, the project focuses on general description of the theatre conditions, who the manager was, how the theatre flourished as far as finance is concerned or how the drama activities were influenced by other industrial or political circumstances. Then, the other topic is dramatics in each season, choice of plays and their reception. The other parts deal with drama tours and Josef Stejskal, who shifted drama to a higher level in 1930s. In appendix you can find the registers of ensemble members, the overview of repertoire in Jihočeské národní divadlo in each season and also several period photos.

It describes the way the drama teach the children in an entertaining way to explore the world they are living in, to appreciate the literature of the past and to get familiar with the literature of the present. It explores further the contribution of drama in education which by the means of play and improvisation improves the child capabilities in terms of language, movement coordination and interpersonal communication. These aspects are depicted on a specific example of drama in education.
