Topic "The Puppet Theatre" from the Point of View of Art Therapy
ZACHOVÁ, Kateřina
The Bachelor's thesis focuses on the role of a puppet and puppet theatre in the art therapy for adults. It is based on the method applied to this phenomenon in the Roznov therapy. The theoretical part provides an overview of the principles on which the theme is based. It combines the approaches of art therapy with those of theatre studies. It analyses the theme of a puppet theatre as a specific theatrical genre and examines its metaphorical potential. Furthermore, the thesis elucidates the substance of drama therapy and Roznov therapy. Puppet theatre is unjustly neglected in the field of expressive therapies. Roznov Therapy is able to use it in the therapy of adults what is quite exeptional. But even there the puppet theatre is marginal. There are few written documents descripting its problematics. That is why I decided to summarise key data on the current state of the Roznov analysis of clients production focused on the puppet theatre, in my thesis. That was done based on interviews with eight experienced therapists. A marionette is a specific type of a puppet in terms of its construction. It has an exclusive status in the history of theatre and in the Roznov Therapy. Both the theoretical and practical part of the thesis attempt to answer the question why it is so and what therapeutic and analytical options it offers. That is why the practical part describes a pilot experiment aimed at establishing in what ways adult clients react to a puppet, with a special focus on a preferred specific type of puppet construction (marionette, mannequin, wayang). In the end, the practical part assesses the efficiency of a puppet as a carrier of lateralised transfer and the measure of correlation between a client's preference for a type of puppet construction and his or her personality traits. Pilot experimental screening discovered facts that, beeing proved in future qualitative and quantitative research, will be enriching for further developement of expressive therapies. The pilot experiment resulted in the revision of its form and establishment of hypotheses and a follow-up research directions.
