  • (De)Forming Places
    López Rengifo, Israel Antonio

    In this thesis the author reflects on the process of creation of (de)forming places; a research project around space, perception and experience that concludes with three performative installations in specific buildings: (de)formation #1:Colloredo-Mansfeld palace, (de)formation #2: the National Library in Prague and (de)formation #3: The New Stage of the National Theater of Prague, Building B. Each installation was devised in a site specific format and served as a snapshot of the research process. The installations were framed as performative, as they allowed the space to perform. Space here, is defined as a mutable entity that changes with any interaction with the people that inhabit it. The project considers the possibility of transformations of the experience of a place by the encounter between the different perceptions of one same place. (De)forming places researches the use of sensory manipulation, as a staging element, using mechanisms of sound, smell and light, that modulates the perceptual set of the audience and therefore the experience of the atmosphere of the place. In this sense the installation is performing with the audience, not only as it is constantly transforming, but also by causing transformation in the audience’s perception; the place performs, not because it changes, but because its change affects the audience. In (de)forming places project, the author states that a shift of perception is a movement in space, while questioning our positioning as spectators. We live in an environment where everything is changing, yet if everything is moving, what does it mean to be here?
  • Politics of Performativity
    de la Mare, Bria Caitlin Louise

    Politics and Performativity is an exploration of theatre’s ability to act as a tool for socio-political change. The foundations of this text will be laid upon the performance/exhibition Popaganda; the final, thesis project created by a team of students from the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, opening for three days in September 2018 in an empty building in central Prague. Popaganda was a practical experiment which attempted to decipher which conditions might be necessary for a performative act to transform into a agent of socio-political change. Through considering key theories such as artistic activism, ethical spectacle and cognitive shock alongside the results of Popaganda, this text will aim to outline potential conditions for performativity to impact political change. Politics and Performativity will introduce the work of Popaganda and then consider three key elements of the performance; it’s content acquired through appropriation, the effect on the audience achieved through cognitive shock and its potential to effect change through a /consumer/product relationship. These focused topics will provide an opportunity to consider how Popaganda may have impacted some form of concrete change as well as how these elements may be improved and used in other conditions and situations of performativity.
  • Zvuk jako výrazový prostředek herce
    Švédová, Michaela
    (Akademie múzických umění v Praze.Divadelní fakulta, 2017)

    V první části své absolventské práce reflektuji svoji uměleckou cestu od hereckých počátků, přes studentskou skupinovou divadelní práci, až k postupnému přechodu k samostatné autorské činnosti, kde více vystupuji jako performer a hudebník. V druhé kapitole se zaobírám svoji předchozí hudební a performerskou praxí, která mne připravila na samostatnou tvůrčí práci. V třetí, nejobsáhlejší části, se věnuji svému absolventskému projektu s pracovním názvem Stroj vedoucí. Zabývám se jak technologiemi, které v projektu užívám, historickým vývojem i kontextem, tak otázkami, které mi přicházely do cesty v průběhu tvoření.
