Čižinská, Lucia ; ŠPLÍCHALOVÁ, Kateřina (advisor) ; ADÁMEK, Jiří (referee)
The aim of this work is to investigate the process of acting, specifically during
rehearsing of graduation performance Barunka is leaving in DISK theatre in context
to yoga psychophysical training. The researcher would like to verify how such a
training can help acting and on the contrary how it can limit it. Psychophysical
training can help concentration on the stage and also during the process of
rehearsing performance. Another aim of this work is to discover whether regular
practise of yoga can help with consolidation in circle of public solitude, how to do
these specific exercises as well as how it could work not just in context of introverted
concentration. In this work I will also focus on eventualities of applying yoga during
rehearsals according to exercises applied by Constantin Stanislavsky and Jerzy
Grotowski. In the past, already quite a few people from world of theatre incorporated
yoga. The most important for my experience is C. Stanislavsky and J. Grotowski.
Therefore, this work analyses approach, which they both pursued, as well as which
resources inspired them, and what led them to search for answers in yoga
excercises.
The main contribution consists of an analysis of studies about applying of yoga
during rehearsals and trainings of C. Stanislavsky, J. Grotowski. This knowledge can
be applied during the rehearsal of theatre performance or with individual or colective
actor training.

It is complemented by the possibilities of cultivating actor's freedom and, at the same time, it deals with mistakes that do not lead to it. Basic principles crucial for rehearsing and performing comedy are further revealed. The author intersperses practical experience with the positives and negatives of repetitions and compares them with professional literature. The subtext and requirements necessary for a deeper understanding of character's psychology are described as well. Character's actions and the conscious choice of body language are both discussed. In conclusion, the author's view on the topic of stage aesthetics and self-observation is compared with that of highly regarded actor. The subject of the thesis is an attempt at self-reflection.

The Director as a Shifting Role
Burianová, Zuzana ; ŠIKTANCOVÁ, Jaroslava (advisor) ; BURIAN, Jan (referee)
The present master's thesis focuses on relationships between the director and the other creators of a theatre production and on the ways in which these relationships develop during the creative process. The author describes and reassesses specific practical examples from her directorial and dramaturgical experience in years 2012-2015. The first part is devoted to those productions in which the author collaborated also on the playtext. It seeks to identify specific primary impulses which had inspired individual projects and to track any subsequent evolution of these impulses, a process which the author defines as assignment formulation. The second part concentrates in more detail on collaboration with actors and explores the circumstances in which a free creative process can be established, the border between the actor's creation and the director's direction of the actor. The third part addresses the interaction between three theatre professions, namely the director, the dramaturgist and the set designer.
