Authorial Acting as (Non)education towards a Self
Pártlová, Zuzana ; SUDA, Stanislav (advisor) ; MALANÍKOVÁ, Hana (referee)
This doctoral thesis explores the potential of authorial acting as a tool for open-ended
self-education. It focuses on the properties and the process of acquiring psychosomatic
capacity for presentation in front of an audience as a means of self-discovery and
self-realization through play (Dialogical Acting with the Inner Partner) and other
preparatory psychosomatic drama disciplines. The secondary subject of this thesis is
the relevance of this capacity to teachers and educators.
In the theoretical section, I present the essential terms and concepts as well as the
basis of my research. I explain why I use the expression "(non)education towards a
self” rather than "personal education” and how one's holistic and creative conditioning
relates to the skills of a pedagogue or educator in the broadest sense of the word. The
qualitative research section consists of three parts which correspond to three research
projects. The first part explores the "personal trajectories" of students of the two-year
“Creative Pedagogy-Pedagogical Condition” (CP-PC) study program. The exploration is
based on written reflections and a two-day encounter devoted to discussion and
creative work. The encounter involved practical workshops as well as talks with
I. Vyskočil and E. Vyskočilová and student discussions. The aim was to explore the
development of the individual psychosomatic “fitness" by means that go beyond
written subjective reflections and offer live confrontations with oneself and others in
workshops and discussions. The second part focuses on the issue of authenticity and
the triple actor-viewer-assistant relation. Using simultaneous recording with two
cameras and focus groups, we tried to analyze the moments of spontaneity during the
experimentation and to identify the essential features of authentic expression.
The themes that significantly emerged from the research were the theme of inner and
outer spectator and of body resonance and joy as main characteristics of authentic
presence.
In the third section, I followed up on the findings of the previous sections in 16 semistructured
interviews with students of the CP-PC program as well as regular and
external students at the department. These interviews were analyzed using the
method of open coding combining two perspectives: a broader, theme-focused
perspective and a narrower, notional one.
This research reveals the complexity of tacit learning processes which, in the context of
play and psychosomatics, foster a personal evolution towards an original, creative
personality, i.e. "becoming one's self”. Simultaneously, this research attempts to define
the essential "virtues” of authentic acting and outlines the benefits of Vyskočil´s
pedagogy for education of educators.

The dialog in the pedagogical process
Pellarová, Petra ; LÖSSL, Jiří (advisor) ; OSWALDOVÁ, Petra (referee)
The given master’s thesis deals with the process of learning which is based
on my own experience. I have taught the movement education in two primary schools, one time in a preparatory class and another in a first class.
The experience of acting with inner partner attained at the Department
of Authorial Creation and Pedagogy has been inspiring. During the classes I have used this predisposition to confirm that it can be used as one of the basics
in pedagogical practice. In this paper I map my journey of a pedagogue.
The emphasis is on the group and the role of the pedagogue in it. I am also taking into consideration the influence of movement education on the children and the way they learn through movement, which is a part of their personal growth. The interconnection between dancing and the pedagogical practice was essential for writing this paper.

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.

Towards a Fullfilled Communicatiohn
Hamzová Pulicarová, Irena ; ČUNDERLE, Michal (advisor) ; VYSKOČIL, Ivan (referee)
In this dissertation, the author questions the degree and quality of communicability and credibility of speech act and generally personal expression of six contemporary preachers of the Catholic Church. Their expression is studied primarily from the standpoint of criteria set by the psychosomatic approach to public performance. Its main principles are characterised in relevant categories as a readiness to consciously, creatively and dialogically exist in the public space. This also means to express oneself with one?s body, voice and speech consciously and physiologically as well as possible, the psychic being in line with the somatic. All this in relation to oneself, to the given speech situation (to the sermon/homily) and to those who are present to it.

Building a Relationship with Sapce as a Prerequisite for an Authorial Condition
Durdilová, Tereza ; KOUBOVÁ, Alice (advisor) ; CHRZ, Vladimír (referee)
In my dissertation, I? concentrate on the relationship between people and space. I? consider this relationship to be the basis of an authentic relation to a present situation, and also the condition to experience it fully in everyday life and most of all during a public performance.My dissertation is in two parts. In the first one, I? show the significance of this relationship across various fields, and introduce the genesis of my personal relationship with space. I? stress the importance of the conscious interaction with space and also the desirability to build one's? own inner space, which is necessary to reach the condition for spaciousness. I? consider this to be an essential part of psychosomatic condition as well as of the condition for public performance, which I? prove - among others - on the necessity of space for the work with breathing and voice.

Being a Body - Living in the Spirit
Machková, Markéta ; RUT, Přemysl (advisor) ; PILÁTOVÁ, Jana (referee)
The thesis deals with psychosomatical studies and mainly studies of the Acting with
the Inner Partner discipline by Ivan Vyskočil. In connection with the theoretical
dialogue principle in the work of Martin Buber and out of her own reflections of
practical studies, the author tries to touch spiritual lapping such disciplines might
offer. Through an essayistic form she is also looking around her own spiritual life path
and is asking about how much does one's experiencing of the spiritual grow out of his
own body awareness.
