"Embedded in interculturality and transculturality, this paper focuses on the actor’s training, on facing, understanding and assimilating the theater lessons of the Far East, especially those of the Nō theater, based on the constructive encounters with them by practicing the Tadashi Suzuki (b. 1939) method, Japanese martial arts, researching Zen philosophy and the writings of Zeami Motokiyo (1363-1443). This article points out the similarity between certain paradigms of the Western theatricality with those of the Far Eastern one (holism, body-mind, here and now, flow, imaginary) as well as their fusion with other paradigms due to the interdisciplinary transfer existing between martial arts (aikidō and iaidō), Japanese culture, and the art of acting (shin-waza-tai, shoshin, ichigo ichie). The way in which fixed forms relate to imagination (kata), specific to both Far Eastern theater and martial arts (aikidō and iaidō), is also very important. This research highlights the essential nature of the fixed form for the impulses of imagination and creative freedom. Keywords: interculturality, art of acting, Zen, Nō theater, martial arts, holism, body-mind, imagination."

Studie zkoumá Ostrčilův význam pro šíření Fibichova díla. Fibich svého žáka Ostrčila pověřoval revizemi svých partitur před vydáním, a dokonce mu svěřil části některých svých děl k instrumentaci. Vedle toho Ostrčil již tehdy upravil několik Fibichových skladeb pro klavír. Poté, co Ostrčil nastoupil svou vlastní kariéru skladatele, dirigenta a uměleckého ředitele, věnoval i nadále svou pozornost hudbě svého učitele. Ostrčil byl upravovatelem a korektorem Fibichových skladeb vydávaných u F. A. Urbánka, dirigentem jeho oper v Národním divadle včetně dramaturgie fibichovských cyklů, věnoval se propagaci Fibicha v zahraničí, kdy například provedl předehru k opeře Pád Arkuna ve švédském Göteborgu.

The paper is based on the preserved archival documents as well as field research, and maps the history of the workshop of the stone sculptor Jindřich Náplava from Buchlovice. It is documented that he was active between 1884 and 1899, while working together with another master stonemason from Buchlovice, Ludvík Kozák. The work is not limited only to describing the recognised work of the author but also attempts, based on the knowledge of the period, to establish the personality of Náplava in a wider socio-cultural context. It also touches on the topic of the authorship of the Buchlovice cornerstone for the National Theatre.
