The National Theatre in Prague during the Nazi Occupation: The Foremost Theatre Scene between Oppression and Resistance. (A Historical-sociological Analysis) ABSTRACT The submitted dissertation, based on historical-sociological analysis, describes and explains the status, reaction and functionality of the National Theatre in Prague during the hardest times of our modern history - the occupation of the Czech lands by Nazi Germany, the so-called Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (1939-1945), the era when the National Theatre, as the top cultural institution, consolidated its artistry, its permanent values and interpretation efforts of its ensemble to defend the right of our society to preserve its own culture, its own existence.

The Nazis viewed the National Theatre in Prague as a potential instrument for fulfilling their plans...

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.

Prague theaters in the profit sector
Jordan, Hanuš ; PROKOP, Petr (advisor) ; SRSTKA, Jiří (referee)
This thesis is mainly focused on a detailed study of three theatres in
profitable bussiness sector in Prague. Considering sensitive nature of the
economic data, some of the information about the for-profit theatres
presented below are actually published for the first time.
The author also studies Mestska divadla prazska (City Theatres of Prague),
a contributory organisation of the city of Prague.
On academic level, the author of this work suggests a dissolution of the
union of the City Theatres of Prague. He proposes that the space of once
freed ABC Theatre should be rented to a new keeper with a profitable legal
personality. Thanks to this, the city of Prague would get considerable
financial savings and could keep maintenance of the representative theatre
in the very center of metropolis at the same time.
The author actually offers three possible models of operations for this
newly-emerged subject. He prepared programming and budgets for two
theatre seasons for the three cases.
In the last chapter he considers the most eligible model. Is it possible to run
this bussiness model with profit? On what conditions?

Bachelor thesis titled Deaf in Slovakian pantomime, with the tagline Theatre of
Quiet Sparks, discusses the use of mime in dramatic education of deaf but also
their creation that is represented by artists of Silent Sparks Theatre. A
substantial part of the thesis is the view of the teaching activities and the use of
mime as an educational method drama by therapists and educators. Based on
watching the performances and interviews with deaf actors I got the opportunity
to compare the uptake and use of pantomime at present. Finding common and
distinctive characters by expressing silent art is enriching knowledge for hearing
and deaf actors. With searching for these characters I got forthcoming help from
artistic director of the theater Quiet Sparks Peter Vrťo. The work contains many
quotes from interviews i have been given by the members of Silent Sparks
Theatre. Overview and description of the creation of a single professional deaf
theater in Slovakia, through the eyes of a professional mime and disinterested
spectator is the second part of the thesis. Interviews and meetings with deaf
actors were for me as the author bachelor thesis huge enrichment not only of a
professional but also personal terms.
