Movement as my journey to authorial acting

This thesis tries to grasp my own journey to movement and authorial performance. Its first part is focused on space, rhythm, tempo perceiving, energy, internal movement and the actual movement in the lessons of acting with inner partner. The second part represents my experience with movement in the lessons of Zdenička Kratochvílová - working with mask, pantomime basics and work on Beckett´s Play without Words II (Acte sans paroles II) that was our public presentation performance. It the second part, I also recorded my experience with contact improvisation in the lessons of Monika Rebcová from HAMU. The last (third) part reflects my authorial performance "Jano, nestůj tu jak štafle!!" ("Jane, don´t stand here like that!!") that topped off my work at KATaP. Here I monitor the gradual development of the performance - the initial ideas, the origination and changes of the text (see attachments), public rehearsals, movement improvisations, search for expression and character representation. The performance was a search for my own authorial stand and came into existence in cooperation with Nastja Astashina. The thesis is accompanied by a DVD with the presentation Beckett´s play and my authorial presentation "Jano, nestůj tu jak štafle!!" ("Jane, don´t stand here like that!!"
