GENRE AND ACTING TOOLS
Nesvadbová, Annette ; PLEŠTILOVÁ, Miroslava (advisor) ; SALZMANNOVÁ, Eva (referee)
In my dissertation called "Genre and Acting Tools", I am focusing on the moments during my studies at the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts (DAMU) and at the Disk Theatre that were both significant and crucial to me. I am trying to outline the course of my work on different parts and the obstacles I had to deal with. In this context I am focusing on the differences in the acting tools for different dramatic genres and how they apply to the selection of graduate plays at the Disk Theatre.

Actor and HIs Fear
Roleček, Vít ; OTČENÁŠEK, Štěpán (advisor) ; SALZMANNOVÁ, Eva (referee)
In my master thesis, I am trying to name the origins and signals of an actor`s fear. I have came from my own existing stage experiences previously and whilst studying classical acting at the Dramatic Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, and also from my first experiences with differing professional groups from theatres from around the Czech Republic. My thesis is supported by professional literature, with which one I have read during my studies at the Academy, and it is inspired by talks and by consultation with people who are active in an artistic field. In my work I reflect my mental prosesses, states and blocks, not only during stage creations, but also in my personal life. I think that a fear can rule an actor and cause stage fright. This is why I have decided to choose this subject for my thesis.

Actor's character at theatre and film/TV - tools and creative process
Josefíková, Eva ; SALZMANNOVÁ, Eva (advisor) ; MRKVIČKA, Ladislav (referee)
The goal of the thesis set by a student is to summarize her studies at
DAMU as well as to reflect her later experience of hosting in professional theatres
and short engagement in Kladno theatre. Appearance in front of the camera is
addressed as well.
The thesis describes the school dramatic seminars, stage or film and
television projects, which helped to change her reasoning about the work as an
actor. These projects taught her new processes and allowed her to professionally
evolve. Based on this experience, she tries to find and define mainly the
common ground for both disciplines, what resources do they require and in which
way they can influence each other.
Considering the fact that acting in front of the camera is not being taught
at DAMU, she describes her search by trial and error, or rather by collecting and
improving her experience from one project to the next. Her findings are
supported by citations from foreign literature on film acting, so far not published
in Czech Republic. Quotes are therefore her own translation.

Actor´s creation of character in a graduate production and in professional theater
Anděl, Matěj ; SALZMANNOVÁ, Eva (advisor) ; ŠIKTANCOVÁ, Jaroslava (referee)
This Thesis examines the issue of character creation from the actor's point of view. As each actor perceives the process of creation differently and applies his own specific methods, I made the decision to concentrate on my individual approach: Which acting techniques do I use, which problems have I encountered and how have I found solutions to individual situations. I additionally strive to identify certain perks and downsides of the acting profession within the scope of the Thesis, particularly those likely to be encountered by an aspiring actor transitioning from a student theater to a professional troupe. The practical differences of these two environments are substantial and bring along multiple complications while simultaneously presenting a crucial turning point in an actors life.
The Thesis primarily draws upon my personal experiences, lesson notes and my diary kept for the duration of my studies. The work is mostly based upon my graduation role in the Disk Theater staging of Punkrock. I further examine my first major professional experiences with the Masopust o.p.s. troupe, having participated on two production, the Steadfast prince (Vytrvalý princ) and Chupacabra. I then move on to Klicpera's Theater in which I had performed as a guest for one year and subsequently have been offered a company membership. From this experience
I have chosen the two most important productions: Richard III and Romeo and Juliet.
This work is mainly intended for students or fresh graduates of acting studies who could possibly benefit practically from some of my experiences on their own journey through the profession.

It addresses the development of theatrical space troughout different historical periods and the concept of site specific. It contains a summary of basic terms concerning theatrical space, spectator, auditorium and site specific. It is based on works of leading experts on the topic.The main objective of this study is to analyze my own acting experience gained in Univerzity Theatre Disk and other theatrical or non theatrical spaces, map the trends and development of auditorium and stage and their subsequent effect on actor´s performance and overall perception of the audience.
