Zicháčková, Magda ; HRDINOVÁ, Radmila (advisor) ; TICHÝ, Zdeněk (referee)
The thesis "Jan Mikulášek and his directing" deals with one of the most outstanding contemporary Czech theater directors. The author attempts to explain the life and work of Jan Mikulášek by analyzing his directorial processes for specific productions which she has seen. Author picks up the threads of the bachelor thesis entitled "Cooperation between director and stage designer: J. Mikulášek and M. Cpin", where she analyzed Mikulášek directorial processes especially on the production of Heda Gablerová. The list od Mikulášek productions is rich so the author chose for her analysis a particular section of his work which she, among other things, compares with his previous works. She deals with Europeana, Nenápadný půvab buržoazie, Šedá sedmdesátá aneb Husákovo ticho productions in detail and especially with the Hodní chlapci production in which the author participated as a dramatic adviser.

Working in creative team versus working with directors solitaires.
Venclová, Tereza ; MATÁSEK, Petr (advisor) ; ŽIŽKA, Tomáš (referee)
In this dissertation I am concerned with my role of a stage designer in a particular creative team, whose members are: Jakub Vašíček ? director and author, Tomáš Jarkovský ? dramaturgist and author, Tereza Venclová ? stage designer, Kamil Bělohlávek ? stage designer, Ondřej Müller ? composer. In individual examples of realizations of inscenations I compare the method of working in teams and working with directors, who I call solitaires. The solitaires are: Dodo Gombár, Jiří Jelínek, Janek Jirků, Ondřej Pavelka, Ivan Ramont and Martin Tichý.
I research aspects which determine the quality of cooperation with solitaires and the team from my own experience, as well as advantages and disadvantages of working in collective.
Since I am not a theorist, I consider the creation as a focal point of my work. So that my aim is not to create a comprehensive research dealing with general rules, but to inform about how my thinking of my own creative work has been developing in the time of my studies and where I got. I believe in making a good use of this reflection in my future work.

Reflection of Ingmar Bergman's life and personality in his selected productions
Krsová, Lenka ; VINAŘ, Josef (advisor) ; SÍLOVÁ, Zuzana (referee)
This thesis is focused on the main sources of inspiration of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, how they stem from his personal life and how are those reflected in his film and theatre productions.
A closer examination of films of Ingmar Bergman shows strong recurring autobiographical elements. I wondered whether we can find a common starting point for them in his personal life. After thorough investigation of literature I found out that director?s childhood, upbringing and complicated family background were essential for the constitution of his personality. These are the sources from which Bergman?s dreams, fantasies and ?demons? came from. This thesis altogether introduces them as the important sources of inspiration and the means through which should be Bergman?s works looked on as well.
Emphasis is also focused on August Strindberg?s importance in Bergman?s life and his A Dream Play, which connects the personal life, film and theatre works of the Swedish director. This thesis tries to point out how the influence of Strindberg on Bergman is reflected in his selected films and theatre career, which is further elaborated. Common motifs and themes of dreams, fantasies and ?demons? of both authors and big influence of A Dream Play on Bergman?s work are documented on his two films: Wild Strawberries and After Rehearsal that both summarize Bergman?s life.
Because of the scale of this thesis the topic cannot be covered in its full scope, therefore this work may be perceived as a platform for further in-depth exploration. In my opinion, Ingmar Bergman?s theatre career due to his global significance deserves more detailed study.
