Studiové scény sedmdesátých a osmdesátých let 20. století - o nezastupitelnosti a inspiraci jednoho divadelního proudu : (vymezení studiových scén v teoreticko-historickém kontextu)

The study primarily focuses on the phenomenon of Czech studio theatres during the Normalization period in the 1970s and 1980s. Besides reflecting them historiographically, it, moreover, views them in a broader philosophical, theoretical, and artistic context. Attention is, above all, paid to the changing terminology (including terms such as unconventional, authorial, studio, open, or alternative theatre), individual aspects of specific aesthetics of the studio theatres as well as their social and artistic importance. Interaction and causality play a crucial part here, together with irregular dramaturgy and variable space that have all been symptomatic for the self-reflection and self-thematization of the studio theatres. Furthermore, the study aims at pointing out the tendencies to interdisciplinarity, non-theatrical and paratheatrical activities, all of which stood for the anthropological dimension of their experiences, encounters, and – simply – being. Finally, a question is asked whether the term studio theatre is connected exclusively to a limited group of theatres from the 1970s and 1980s, or whether it is possible (and plausible) to apply it also to the ensembles active in today's area of alternative theatres which tend to embody a similar "studio spirit" as their specific means of expression.
