This diploma thesis deals with the history of the Primary Music School of Jindřich Jindřich in Cheb in the years 1918-1990. Using mainly German written archive sources maps how the school worked between the First World War and the Second World War and also during the Second World War, when the Cheb region became part of the Nazi German. With the information from the chronicles the thesis tries to reconstruct the history of the music school after the Second World War - after the transfer of the German population, the Czech music school was the only music education institute in Cheb, which was later called the Folk Music School of Jindřich Jindřich. The thesis focuses on the operation of this educational organization from various points of view. Apart from the development of the number of students and teachers it pays also attention to the problems (e.g. space, finance, etc.) which they had to deal with in this period of time.

In the first chapter of my master's thesis I think about acting, resp. the problem of fixation in the actor's work as an anchor in the given circumstances of a stage act, in dialogue with my ideas of acting and the philosophical concept of the life of a creature, inclining towards the ideas of Martin Heidegger and outline of his "Dasein". In the second chapter, I focus on my personal experience of both studies and professional practice in the context of chapter one considerations.

This diploma thesis is dealing with the personality of Jaroslav Šaroun, contemporary composer, pianist and accompanist. It focuses on his artistic life and as well as his personal life. The main emphasis is on his artistic life, which is dealt with in several chapters. Those chapters describe his evolution from a young student to a piano player of Czech philharmony. Another important point is his view of music interpretation and of pedagogical activities and its principles, which he passed on to students, at the Prague conservatory as well as at HAMU. Furthermore a cycle of Four songs for baritone and piano with lyrics by Toquato Tasso is analyzed in this thesis and viewed from many angles.

The topic of the Thesis Acting and Trust is mainly the persuit of creative freedom. I will try to make the word ?trust?a key koncept, not just a vague expression. It should ideally only frame my work thematically rather than aiming for correlation in every chapter. The goal is not to reach a generally valid claim, which is not even possible due to the arbitrariness of the subject. I will try to formulate to which extent an actor is, or whether he/she even has the opportunity to be, an independent creator and to which extent the dependence on others and their decisions is actually frustrating. I would like my thesis to be conceived as a reflection on the sovereignty of acting as an artistic discipline.

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.

The master theses is concerned with the authenticity and veracity of actors’s utterance during the creation of characters from different genres. In the first part, the author relies on selected technical literature, through which we get acquainted with the ways actors can theoretically achieve the authenticity and veracity of their utterance using different well-known approaches to create the character. In the second part the theoretical knowledge is confronted with the author’s personal experience as a starting actor. The absolvent productions are used to demonstrate the author’s search for authenticity and veracity in different productions and genres during his work on the characters he embodied in the Disk theatre in the final year of his studies.

The diploma thesis deals with the searching of personal themes in the actor´s creation and their transfer to the spectator through an acting character, when the „personal theme“ in the form of „opinion content“ is, according to the author, one of the basic assumptions of artistic, personal and career development.

At the core of the work in the reflection on artist´s individuality and thenthe study of the relationship between the personal themes of the creator and the characters he creates. The author uses the knowledge gained from his previous experiences gained during his studies at DAMU, first contact with the professional stage and his views in general.The author also analyzes personal topics related specifically to his person as possible obstacles in performing the acting profession.

My thesis deals with lack of self-confidence and lack of freedom in acting that comes with it. It tries to search and denominate single aspects which can lead to stated issue or eventually to its intensifying. Furthermore it’s a subjective reflection of my entire studies at Theatre Faculty since my first year until graduation productions at Disk theatre
