Authorial Acting and its changes during the therapy of addicts
Křesadlová, Václava ; HANČIL, Jan (advisor) ; CHRZ, Vladimír (referee)
In my dissertation, I try to reflect my own experiences with application of authorial approach to acting in therapeutic community for drug addicts. I work as a therapist for twelve years in therapeutic community Magdaléna. I guarantee nonverbal technique program and I lead a theatre project once a year periodically.My dissertation is divided to two main parts. First I focus on questions about authorial acting and its pedagogics. I try to explain specifics that are brought by authorial approach to acting. I also describe acting with the inner partner and drama propaedeutic based on free playing and collective improvisation. These dramatic experiments help participants during their own building of psychosomatic condition, which is core of studies on Authorial acting and pedagogics department, DAMU in Prague.Second part of my dissertation is dedicated to my own work with drug addicts. I try to describe problems of therapy in community, especially the questions connected with dramatic expression of the clients. As I told before, I lead nonverbal technique program in Magdaléna community and I created my own conception of such program and it is described enough in my dissertation. I also try to explain drama projects preparations in community and show such cooperation in eleven specific performances we did with different clients during the time.Finally, I reflect relationship between authorial acting and psychotherapy. I perceive the ability to act creatively in direct contact with the others as the most important thing in both cases. That is why I demur at the question of a self-experience in therapy and psychosomatic condition in authorial acting and their mutual relationship.
