Time Lapse of the Jump
Tůma, Daniel ; MAZÚCH, Branislav (advisor) ; TEJNOROVÁ, Petra (referee)
Time lapse of the jump
I try to specify the starting point for my author's work through my experience from the Department of Alternative and Puppet Theater in my diploma thesis, which led me to interest in the creative work as which I try to formulate on the example of our performance EVEN PEOPLE HAVE SOUL.
The whole thesis begins with the chapter called Background, which mentions the benefits of block teaching and its contribution to my further creation. This chapter is subdivided into two subchapters. The first is a reflection on the function and ability of contemporary theater at the time of the digital-technological prosperity, and the second is about the use of these multimedia as a tool whose task is to expand our platform and space for the creation itself as opposed to when the theater tries to come out of the dead end using empty illusion. Continue with an chapter called the Simple Space chapter and its supporting force, paraphrasing Jerzy Grotowski and his interpretation of Poor and Rich Theater and specifying the starting points for the theater space and consequently the creation as such. In the next chapter I am devoted to the anthropological approach serves which me as a mentor and helper on the way to authenticity on the stage. With the other chapters I try to describe what a living process of rehearsing which is complex and linked as one organism means to me and what are the associated contexts in the way of specifying my authorial approach. Then I get to the chapter about the performance EVEN PEOPLE HAVE SOUL itself, where I try to formulate our own way of creating and how we think about it. On a particular scene, I approach the synthesizing approach to theater and other key fragments of form that interests me. I follow with the chapter named Sarajevo, which is the title of one of our clausure works, where I describe the theater, which is able to maintain its authenticity, despite the fact that it deals with a topic like war and events with it that are not easily translatable in to a theater that generalizes is to me and put back these into the context of my views of the theater.

Kateřina Jandáčková in her diploma thesis THE LIFE OF IMPULSES, The Hidden Role of Coincidence and Intuition in a Creative Process examinates the phenomenon of intuition through her own experience. She percieves intuition as something that helps her to capture and to preserve all the external and internal random impulses that originate during collecting of material and searching for a theme for prepared production, or during rehearsals. Each chapter has a title of one of her own seven productions. In those chapters the author of this thesis reflects her previous knowledge and conclusions. Also she reflects certain problems conected with this theme that she dealt with during rehearsals. In the end she finds common thematic link that connects all her productions up to date and which also responds with her social opinion.

Mechanisms of the Creative Process
Hadušovská, Michala ; HAVELKA, Jiří (advisor) ; TOMÁNEK, Karel František (referee)
In the thesis entitled Mechanisms of Creative Process, the author examines and reflects her own creation and creative process. The purpose of this study is to discover the internal order and logic of the creative process, respectively to discover the mechanisms and tools with which it works. Knowledge and awareness of the used techniques should serve to make the tools know better, consciously grasp and, above all, develop. The most important aim of the thesis was to try to follow the phases and transformations of the creative process from the creative idea to the realization of the performance. For better orientation, the process of creation and the text of the thesis are divided into four phases and two wider circuits. The first circuit deals with the period of preparation,
the second part is the reflection of its practical part, the theatrical rehearsals.
Tracking her own path and distinctive way and approach to creation from
a distance, has given the author a clearer picture of how the mechanisms and tools work inside the process. Their knowledge and development gives them the ability to transform the thoughts, ideas and visions into reality more consciously and purposefully.

Unconscious Inspiration
Holubář, Patrik ; MAKONJ, Karel (advisor) ; MIKEŠ, Vladimír (referee)
The meaning of this work is the explanation of a particular life expression, which is presented by moment of now, that inside itself encapsulates cause and consequence.
The focus of this work is to define the influences which have effects during artistic creation which is a compilation of physiologic and psychological phenomenons of a particular person.
For this purpose I reflected on my activity to date as an artist, secondly I looked up and read relevant literature and met with people, who willingly helped me with this work.
The finding of my continuous and retrospective cognition is that artistic creation is closely related to life experiences, individual perception and subjective benefits and experiences.
Therefore, a person can set out his lifelong goal of whom he wants to be and what he would like to achieve. He would know almost automatically, what he should do in accordance with his deep-rooted and previously tested abilities and thus he would behave as such at a present moment.
It is desirable to pursue one´s chosen vocational skills, preferably most of one´s free time to ensure one´s professional growth in a particular field. However, it is necessary to pay attention to one´s personal life, which can have the deciding impact on the final consequence.

ACTING IN THE LIFE AND THE LIFE IN ACTING
Müller, Richard ; PLEŠTILOVÁ, Miroslava (advisor) ; ŠIKTANCOVÁ, Jaroslava (referee)
This thesis deals, in general, with the topic of theatrical experience of a young person, and examines everyday life influences on his artistic life and on the development of art within the person self. It poses questions and looks for answers to some of those questions in the specialist literature, or by deducing from personal experience.First, numerous influences that affect a person during his studies are presented, the importance of a person’s psychological profile, as well as his understanding of himself, and of the world around him. Later on, personal experience from professional carrier is described. I am disclosing character work in the DISK theatre and I am trying to find reasons for my feelings, both, good and bad, during the rehearsing processes, and the cause of my successes and failures. Acting, on stage as well as in front of the camera, is described from an unusual point of view, focusing greatly on details that are oftentimes overlooked.The new perspective from which I am trying to present acting and the life of an artist consists not only of the professional tools for mastering the craft - such as learning new parts, adopting the technical skills, etc. - but emphasizes humanity, underlines its importance, and searches for a threshold between professional and personal life of an actor.

THE INFLUENCE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CULURE IN MODERN DANCE
Müllerová, Kristýna ; DIATTA-REBCOVÁ, Monika (advisor) ; OVSOVÁ, Libuše (referee)
This thesis summarizes the history of colonization of the United States
of America, that was the main cause of its current diverse ethnic composition. It
reveals political, social and cultural environment, in which afro-american dance
style has been developed. One direction of this development searched for means
of expression for stage performances. These concepts were influenced
by Katherine Dunham, who has discovered the principles and roots of afroamerican
dancing patterns by combining her interests in anthropology, ethnology
and dancing. She identified herself with these principles a based her own art
work upon them. At the same time, she found new sources of inspiration
by examination of human nature and human origins, which can be used
in modern pedagogical practices.

MARGINAL MUSIC SUBCULTURES AND EASTHETIC CONNECTED WITH THEM AS A STARTING POINT OF THE AUTHOR'S PERFORMANCE.
Burdová, Barbora ; SMOLÍK, Robert (advisor) ; KRÁLOVÁ, Andrea (referee)
The whole thesis has been trying to have a look into marginal music subcultures
as a field of inspiration necessary with forming an author´s performance.
One of the main sources of that is the metal sub-culture which is divided into
other sub-sub-fields.
Author is fixing the blackmetal sub-culture into center of attention and she is
trying to undercover its possibilities by theatrical items. She is trying to look at
common values between theater and metal music and she is interested in how to
utilize music itself, which actually serves as sound curtain only.
During authors creation she is interested into expression means replacing the
text. Into the front position metal aesthetic is posted, as an outlet of
scenographic way of thinking and creating, and last but not least, it is the main
concern of interpretation of Sami´s culture and its transformation into theatrical
form.

Stará, Markéta ; LOTKER, Sodja (advisor) ; SMOLÍK, Robert (referee)
The main objective of my thesis is to present communication as a basic motivation for creative process and creative expression. The theoretical part is concerned on sources of inspiration ? why I decided to be on the stage and why the live drawing and projection were used as means for communication. The practical part is focused on analysis of two projects, Duel/Duet and Mouchoirs. In those projects, I have applied live drawing using the Tagtool multimedia kit for projection. I?m trying to find out how the communication influences the final form.
