(2) Artistic research into the creation of theatre productions featuring actors with Down syndrome
as an effective means of social inclusion
The project was prepared at the end of the period under review and subsequently successfully
supported by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic under the ÉTA programme.

project. Application of the project results is guaranteed by several organizations: Society of Parents
and Friends of Children with Down Syndrome (Společnost rodičů a přátel dětí s Downovým
syndromem, z.s.), Special Kindergarten, Special Primary School and Practical School Ibsenka Brno,
p.o. (MŠ speciální, ZŠ speciální a praktická škola Ibsenka Brno, p.o.), Kociánka Centre (Centrum

The goal of the project is to verify procedures, methods and principles of working with actors with
Down syndrome through the realization of theatre productions and to contribute to a better

(3) Development of communication competencies through new educational methodology based on
an objective assessment of performer and recipient biosignals
The project was prepared at the end of the period under review and subsequently successfully
supported by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic under the ÉTA programme.
Implementation period: 05/2019 – 05/2021. The Theatre Faculty acts as a coinvestigator besides the
Brno University of Technology, which is the main investigator. Another coinvestigator involved in the
project is Masaryk University in Brno.
The main goal of the project is to create a teaching methodology for the development of the
performer’s communication competencies in the area of convincing and persuasion. The proposed
teaching methodology should be more effective than conventional approaches to the training of
communication skills, because the verification of knowledge about the interaction between the
performer and the recipient is based, among other things, on an analysis of their physiological
manifestations.
