Jaroslav Dušek
Jaroslav Dušek je v první řadě improvizátor, divadelní herec a režisér, dále pak filmový herec, moderátor, libretista a scénárista. Po gymnáziu učil autorské herectví a jevištní improvizaci na Lidové konzervatoři, dva roky byl asistentem Ivana Vyskočila, který svým pojetím autorského divadla Duška výrazně ovlivnil. Po roce 1989 působil na Konzervatoři J. Ježka. Učí na Famu, příležitostně na Jamu a Damu (mezi jeho žáky patřili například Ester Kočičková nebo Jiří Macháček). Duškovy aktivity se rozhodně neomezují jen na filmové herectví, ostatně jeho stěžejním projektem už léta zůstává divadlo Vizita, založené společně s Janem Bornou v roce 1981. Přesto je v posledních letech poměrně často obsazován, většinou do komediálních rolí. Jeho herectví lze těžko popsat jako civilní - nejpřesvědčivější je v rolích, které vyžadují jistou dávku stylizace nebo jsou dokonce až na hranici grotesky (Vorlův muzikál - rytmikál KOUŘ, VRAŤ SE DO HROBU). Velmi dobře se povedlo využít Duškův komediální talent Janu Hřebejkovi (neznámější role ve filmech PELÍŠKY s glosou "Přišel jsem s nabídkou kvalitního sexu", MUSÍME SI POMÁHAT, PUPENDO), objevil se také v oscarové nominaci ŽELARY, nízkorozpočtovém hororu CHOKING HAZARD nebo ve Švankmajerově filmu ŠÍLENÍ. Komu připadá Dušek zajímavý ve filmech, měl by se jít podívat na jeho divadelní představení. Bude nadšený. Již zmiňované divadlo VIZITA nabízí výjimečný zážitek, navíc pokaždé jiný. Během představení, která začínají jako čistá ...
