Music director, music and software three agents of programing music in radio
Mayerová, Veronika ; Stöckelová, Tereza (advisor) ; Kocman, David (referee)
This work deals with the interaction of human and non-human actors in the creative process. Its basic point is the notion of a socio-technological order, which works with equal access to human and non-human actors in social processes. The work is inspired by concepts from the selected studies, science and technology (Science and Technology Studies). Research follows the interaction of human and non-human entities using the example of programming music on the radio, namely the Czech Radio station for young listeners, Radio Wave. Field research was based on monitoring the interaction of three key players in the process of programming: music, selector software (used for programming most music radio stations worldwide) and the music director. The observation of mutual cooperation, induced effects, pressures, manipulation and the transformation of actors provides a comprehensive look at the creative process in which the software is not just a passive tool in the hands of its active user and music is not just obedient material in the hands of the reigning human creator, the music director. The goal is to help challenge anthropocentric discrimination of technologies and their activities in contemporary society. Although the research showed that, at Radio Wave, although the use of software is limited by a greater...

Creative Confidence
Blechová, Eva ; CHRZ, Vladimír (advisor) ; ČUNDERLE, Michal (referee)
This thesis deals with the desire to create and how can the individual?s thinking about himself help to increase or decrease this desire, to keep it alive or let it die. In the tradition of qualitative research, I have conducted twenty-six semistructured interviews with creators and teachers of creative, in particular theatrical, disciplines. I analyse these interviews and propose classifications and models. These models are combined with my own experience as a creator and as a teacher, with relevant literature as well as with my own creative writing. Given the selected methodology, the text does not aspire to provide overall generalisation, but rather shows some principles that can be inspirational for creators and their teachers.

KEEPING DISTANCE AND COMPLETE FUSION INTO A CHARACTER
Radová, Marie ; ŠIKTANCOVÁ, Jaroslava (advisor) ; MRKVIČKA, Ladislav (referee)
This thesis examines my method of portraying theatrical characters throught the main ideas and dramatic theories of Denis Diderot, Konstantin Sergeyevich Stanislavsky and Bertolt Brecht. I perceive the themes of blending with a character and keeping a distance from a character as a question of sense and sensibility in theater, i.e. a question of conscious acting as opposed to acting which stems from the subconscious. While constantly rehearsing new roles and searching for my theatrical self, I came across three mutually contradictory dramatic theories and began to feel a need to confront them. In this thesis, I compare Diderot's Paradox of Acting, Stanislavsky's Method and Brecht's approach to one another while commenting on them from the perspective of my own acting experience. I further elaborate on my acting experience in the chapter about Letovisko, my second graduation play at the Disk Theatre. It is in this chapter where I answer most of my questions related to my acting. Another acting experience described in this thesis is my work on two productions of Bertold Brecht's Drums in the Night. I compare a version me and my classmates rehearsed in our second semester and a different, altered version we created four years later
