In this diploma thesis I´m trying to describe a process of working on an author
performance inspired by a book, threw analysis of my own author performance called Gog.
In the introductory chapter I try to outline some similarities between working on a
screenplay, as Jean-Claude Carriere speaks about it in his book Telling a story and working on a performance, if we are two, we are directors, actors, dramaturgists and we are inspired by a book.
In next chapters I speak about the theme and the form of the book Gog, and afterwards
I describe in detail what interested us and which main theme we chose for our performance.
In the main part of this thesis I describe in detail the process of rehearsing different parts
of the performance and I analyze themes that are present. Here I mention extracts from the book Gog and I describe how the text and the theme influenced our way of rehearsing and our way of choosing expression agens. I describe in detail our searching. I mention how we approached to the move, spoken word, animation and projection tasks that were our ways of expression. Afterwards I try to think about the balance of organizing different elements in the performance. Last part of this chapter is dedicated to elements of performance such a scenography, costume, music.
Next chapter I address to telling a story as an important element of communication
and sharing not only in theater. I am thinking about ways to communicate and about forms of telling a story. In next part of this chapter I aim to compare the attributes and possibilities of a literary work and theatre with regard to the book as an important element for our creative process.
In the penultimate chapter, which has three parts, I describe in detail the theme of
creation, subsequently: I reflect the collaboration in a couple, the experiences acquired during the process. I gather some unwritten rules from my experience connecting my thoughts with citations from the book of Jean-Claude Carriere. In the next part I speak more in detail about the working process and switching roles of actor and director. Afterwards I mention the importance of a feedback from somebody outside of the process, as a dramaturgical help and I mention some examples. In the last part of this chapter I analyze a question of style in author work and I try to speak about my own opinions about style.
In the conclusion I mention my view of a performance as an entity, which lives its
own life and I am thinking about some potential aspirations of my work. I appreciate the
freedom in creativity and I mention that all this takes along a big responsibility.
