ACTOR BEING
Krupa, Martin ; MÁLKOVÁ, Eva (advisor) ; MAZÚCH, Branislav (referee)
Bachelor thesis is focused on the Actor's being itself and its development. Thesis also deals with subjective point of view on actor's previous 7 years when he has studied on two other Schools of Arts and either participated Erasmus+ program. Furthermore, author of the thesis strives for development, knowledge, as well as stagnation of his own acting life while facing different educational surroundings and theatrical environments. It includes studies at Janacek conservatory, followed by entering Academy Of Performing Arts, continued with residency abroad at London's Rose Bruford College and additionaly, return to an Academy of Performing Arts. During this period, author engaged in two copyright projects - collective performance called Barunka is leaving and his second solo performance named Borderline-Syndrom. Admittedly, topic about actor's existence is purely subjective, self-knowledging. It creates a reflection, how studying acting influences whole artistic life, how it changes one's mentality, evolution in thinking and attitude of young man, actor novice.

What Does - To Be in the Beginning - Mean II.
Šimek, Jiří ; LJUBKOVÁ, Marta (advisor) ; MAKONJ, Karel (referee)
In this master thesis I am analyzing the process of two author performances
GoG & LONELiNESS & STUFF. I am trying to write down basic methods and assumptions
for my own author work without scenario where the beginning of the whole process is only a theme or a literally model (which is more likely main inspiration source rather than
pattern). All those methods and assumptions, I call Beginning which is a word that
represents them in the best possible way. That is also a reason for naming my thesis What does -to be in the beginning- mean, this name should represent my never ending searching of more sophisticated way of developing theatre performance.
The whole thesis begins with a chapter called Starting-points, which collection of
most important things I learned in the Department of alternative and puppet department. The chapter is divided into parts according to the teachers who took turns in leading main subject
Acting. In every part I tried to write about the way of influencing my approach to author
work.
Middle part consists of two chapters GoG and LONELiNESS & STUFF where I
describe my own work on concrete cases from process of rehearsing both performances. In
both chapters I describe my own new methods and experiences. Putting both processes in
context, and trying to explain differences. And I also try to find a connection between the
chapter Starting-points and concrete cases from my own author work.
The whole thesis ends by a chapter What does to be in the beginning mean
where I summarize and generalize issues which we were solving during our author work and I also try to establish requirements for really creative way of creating author performance.
Main message of this thesis is to look back on my own work. Also, from my point of
view, establishing ideal way of creative process and defining spectator as co-creator of
theatre performance. Where this ideal way of creative process doesn’t exist because the
point upgrades my own ability to constant adapt and change, act intuitively.

The World according to the Larp
Koubová, Karolína ; SLAVÍKOVÁ, Eva (advisor) ; MALANÍKOVÁ, Hana (referee)
In my diploma thesis I deal with the phenomenon of chamber LARP and through it I get to the reflection of my studies at the Department of Authorial Creativity and Pedagogy [KATaP]. My first approach to the writing assumed that the live action role playing (LARP) is based on similar assumptions and motivations as the basic disciplines of the department. The more detailed I looked at this game, I had to modify the original hypothesis of similarity. Process that I describe in my thesis has finally reverse trend. I do not describe LARP with regard to the experience of KATaP, but the LARP experience leads me to the reflection and exploration of the five-year study. Gradually, (Inter) acting With the Inner Partner, authorship and game become the subject of my research. I also think of the possibility of an authentic experience and try to answer the question of for what is the truth in own creation and access to myself. It is largely a subjective view and an offer of my personal experiences and experience from University and from the practice of LARP.

Ivan Vyskočil and his Pedagogics
Petelíková, Eva ; ČUNDERLE, Michal (advisor) ; HANČIL, Jan (referee)
In this thesis I try to couple my own experience gained through contact with
prof. Ivan Vyskočil's pedagogy with the theoretical points of view concerning with
an audience reception. My thesis consists of two parts.
First part is dedicated to a phenomenon of spectatorship. I focus mainly on the
ontological principle of theatre production and on the feedback in the relationship
between a spectator and an actor related to that principle. My work is based on
the thesis of Otakar Zich, Eduard Bullough, Jaroslav Etlík, Max Herrmann and
notably Erika Fischer-Lichte. I mention the physiological basis of perception
relating to the so-called mirror neurons. I attempt to contextualize the theatretheoretical
and the neuroscientific view on a reception as a psycho-physical
experience.
In the second part of my thesis I concentrate on the conception of study
developed by prof. Ivan Vyskočil (who is a founder of the Department of
Authorial Creativity and Pedagogy at The Theatre Faculty of the Academy of
Performing Arts in Prague) that is grounded in a cultivation of psychosomatic
fitness and in a training of self-reflecting creators-actors, who are spectators as
well.
At the end of my thesis I try to highlight a connection between a cultivation of
psychosomatic fitness itself through the study of acting at the Department of
Authorial Creativity and Pedagogy and a development of certain audience
competence that is closely related to a quality of aesthetical experience and its
reflection and even to the work of theatrical critic as well, which is one of goals of
the study at the Departement of Theory and Criticism at DAMU.

Johnny´s journey: Observation of a young disciple of acting
Večeřa, Jan ; HANČIL, Jan (advisor) ; RUT, Přemysl (referee)
In my thesis, I deal with the acting discipline in the context of what I have learnt during my studies at the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (The Department of Authorial Creativity and Pedagogy) and in the context of what I have learnt during my life in general. Thus, the work is, in many instances, a personal confession on the theme of acting rather than an academic or scientific paper.
Each chapter is opened with a new theme which I attempt to analyse and explore from the adept of acting point of view. The themes I touch upon are, among others: the personality of the actor, his authenticity, spontaneity, his acting self-consciousness etc.
The language of the analysis is my own and the results are compared with existing theories. The main theme of my thesis could be defined as interconnection of the human and the actor´s existence, in other words, the relationship of the actor with life-his own and the life of people around him.
I am searching for a relationship between life and acting and I attempt to relate both in some context. When exploring the themes, I refer to my experience and memories from childhood (and memories of others as well), growing up, adulthood, my studies etc. In some sections, I reflect upon my acting experience and I relate them to particular performances or roles.
