WORKING DIARY
Svobodová, Veronika ; ADÁMEK, Jiří (advisor) ; KRÁLOVÁ, Andrea (referee)
The text is conceptually divided into four segments. In the opening part I
reveal ideological basis, i.e. initial ideas, stimuli and main sources of
inspiration for my artwork. Next section exhibits free associations of thoughts
and follows my stream of consciousness as an author. In the interior
monologue I create network of essential and formative experiences and
encounters that has shaped my approach to creative work. Third part
presents theoretical background of the thesis and I deal with the nature of
perceptual experience and the dominance of visuality in the contemporary
technological and mass popular consumer culture. The chapter also briefly
outlines possibilities of displaying visible objects along with the historical
development of perspective in visual arts. The final part is dedicated to my
own practical outcomes, specifically installation BU (festival Arijuli 2015 in
Norway) and sensory theatre performance Močeradek gre čez cesto
(Lutkovno gledališče Ljubljana 2013) based on work of Slovenian poet Srečko
Kosovel. In these projects, I have dealt with the questions of how to create a
platform on which the viewer and artistic artefact could meet or how to ideally
accentuate space and time in order to encourage audience to stay actively
participating. Both projects are intentionally reflected together with the
description of immersive theatre. At first I describe fundamental principles of
the relatively new phenomenon, in particular the need of complete immersion
of the viewer into the artificial environment/fictional world that is arranged by
special medium aiming to influence his/her senses. The main goal of the
thesis was to uncover practical guidelines related to the issue of creative
methods in the field of immersive theatre. Hence my concluding statements
provide elementary instructions and "rules of game" for both audience and
author.

UDĚLEJ SI SÁM - divadlo Handa Gote. Opakování témat a motivů.
Bakalova, Elitsa ; ADÁMEK, Jiří (advisor) ; BEČKA, Marek (referee)
In the contemporary world that undergoes constant changes, theatre is changing with certain pace as well. It is only natural as it is an integrant, inseparable part of the society and its make-up. New theatre groups are being established ? some of them last longer and turn into steady regulars on the stage, others are more short-lived due to a variety of factors (art, financial or personal ones). The development of the groups in question could help us outline some of the current tendencies in the theatre world and could contribute to getting a broader and fuller understanding of it.
