The main focus of the dissertation is 15th century Italian court dance, which was one of the prime manifestations of the emerging aristocratic society all across renaissance Europe. The dissertation draws on a detailed research into original dance notations and works on dance theory of dance masters Domenico da Piacenza, Antonio Cornazana and Guglielmo Ebreo/Giovanni Ambrosio and contains first-time Czech translations of important parts of these works. The text first addresses general issues (occasions and locations for dancing, dance education and the role of the dance master, functions of dance in a given historical period, intellectual and philosophical framework of early dance treatises) and moves on to analyse specific features of period dance theory and provides a description of ractical aspects of the realization of dance choreography (basic steps and movements, figures, spatial dance forms etc.). The dissertation contains a reconstruction of one such dance choreography. A certain journey into related fields and later historical periods are chapters on the aesthetic of movement (required posture, position of the head, facial expression, hand gestures etc.) and period etiquette (acceptance of social hierarchy in dance and beyond, ways of showing respect and greetings, asking to dance and...

Movement as my journey to authorial acting
Moravec, Ondřej ; Kratochvílová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Kroschlová, Eva (referee)
This thesis tries to grasp my own journey to movement and authorial performance. Its first part is focused on space, rhythm, tempo perceiving, energy, internal movement and the actual movement in the lessons of acting with inner partner. The second part represents my experience with movement in the lessons of Zdenička Kratochvílová - working with mask, pantomime basics and work on Beckett´s Play without Words II (Acte sans paroles II) that was our public presentation performance. It the second part, I also recorded my experience with contact improvisation in the lessons of Monika Rebcová from HAMU. The last (third) part reflects my authorial performance "Jano, nestůj tu jak štafle!!" ("Jane, don´t stand here like that!!") that topped off my work at KATaP. Here I monitor the gradual development of the performance - the initial ideas, the origination and changes of the text (see attachments), public rehearsals, movement improvisations, search for expression and character representation. The performance was a search for my own authorial stand and came into existence in cooperation with Nastja Astashina. The thesis is accompanied by a DVD with the presentation Beckett´s play and my authorial presentation "Jano, nestůj tu jak štafle!!" ("Jane, don´t stand here like that!!")
