Razím, Daniel ; PROVAZNÍK, Jaroslav (advisor) ; BERGMAN, Aleš (referee)
ABSTRACT
Diploma Thesis Theatre-Poetry? examines a specific type of Czech alternative theatre, based on the creative author's work with literary texts. It deals with its characteristic, defining the genre and problems associated with a non depictive title, which defines this area of theatrical production. Collectively it describes its scenic resources and stage techniques. It traces its past associated with history of so called artistic recitation and the avant-garde art movement of the interwar years, from the beginning until the recent past and present (which has not been systematically described and evaluated). It recalls sources of inspiration and period context of the development of this kind of theatre, gives an overview of productions and related theatre companies, and important creative figures. It presents many scholarly quotations and authentic materials, especially period reviews and eyewitness´s memories. It contemplates the meaning, the artistic benefits and risks related to this method of theatre work and its future prospects - especially in relation to creative work with literary texts and their artistic presentation to the public and in connection with pedagogical activities and interests of Drama in Education.

Turning nonsense poetry into a performance
Šteidlová, Kateřina ; MARUŠÁK, Radek (advisor) ; MACHKOVÁ, Eva (referee)
This bachelor thesis describes the process of staging a performance with two adolescent girls who attend drama classes at art school. Nonsense poetry became the subject of our interest. Both girls had worked on interpretation of this type of poetry in their recitation classes. However, creating a poetic production was new experience and an opportunity to explore staging possibilities.
I drew on their skills and experience gained in previous drama studies as well as their knowledge of other fields of art. Thus, in the performance, we made the best of the ability to work with hyperbole, use physical expression, and evoke the atmosphere by sound and music.
In respective chapters of the thesis, the students I worked with are introduced both in terms of their experience with drama studies and in terms of developmental psychology. Moreover, I analyze our subject, explain the dramaturgical and directorial concept and describe our work on developing outlined situations. Furthermore, changes in initial concept and their causes are detailed. Finally, I take performance re-runs into consideration and examine their effect on the final version of the production.

The Art of Living Word
Harčaríková, Marica ; MARUŠÁK, Radek (advisor) ; BERGMAN, Aleš (referee)
In the first part of my thesis which consists of two parts - theoretical and empirical - I concentrate upon the ways of "word reviving" through human voice, speech and their artistic ways of expression, namely declamation, recitation, artistic recitation - where beside structuring of recitation I focus on collective recitation. Interpretation is a part of meaningful work with the word. I deal with its meaning from the point-of-view of its relationship with literary work. I deal with the concept of poetry and theatre, for closer specification of theatre form of poetry theatre and for fuller understanding of its content. I focus on the issue of poetry theatre, as an independent theatre form which has developed in the Central European region, especially in the non-professional theatre, in certain theoretical anchorages and historical connections. I mention a nationwide competition of artistic word and poetry theatres - Hviezdoslavov Kubin - especially with the children poetry theatre, within the category of children reciting groups. And last but not least, in the second part of my thesis I concentrate on the creative process with a children group, on the possibility of working with lyrical text.
