The Profession of a Dancing Master in the 19th century Bohemia
Zilvarová, Daniela ; Gremlicová, Dorota (advisor) ; Kazárová, Helena (referee)
The thesis provides a brief survey of the profession of a dancing master in the 19th century Bohemia. Considering the wide territorial and temporal scope of the theme and difficult access to relevant sources the author's primary focus was Prague in the latter half of the 19th century. The thesis deals with demands an individual had to meet in order to become a dancing master.
An analysis of the profession in terms of activities associated with it is provided too; not only a dancing master was a pedagogue, he often acted as a promoter of dances at dance fetes, as a choreographer and sometimes even as a composer. A special attention is given to the institution "Klub tanečních mistrů v království Českém", unifying dancing masters at the end of the 19th century. The author also deals with questions and origin of usage of significant titles of dancing masters (Provincial, Estates). A brief outline of the impact of women on the profession of a dancing master is provided too.

Pollertová, Adéla ; Kazárová, Helena (advisor) ; Gremlicová, Dorota (referee)
Bachellor thesis ?Ballet of Pjotr Iljitch Tchaikovsky in Neumeier?s version?
gives overview on the work of the choreographer, director and artistic
director of Hamburg´s Ballet John Neumeier on the classical ballet jewels.
The Nutcracker, Swan lake and Sleeping beauty are for sure the most well
known, visited and popular titles most of the theatres with classical
repertoire. John Neumeier manage to give a new face to those ballets and
maybe that is why they are closer to the audience of today. He left the
spirit of the old times and added the human side, unordinary commonness
and the theme such is the same for all those three ballets ? love in each
way. Comparing of the first versions and the Neumeier´s will hopefully
helps with the better orientation in Tchaikovsky?s ballets from the seventies
of the 20. century.

LETTERE CONTRA LETTRES
Dotlačilová, Petra ; Kazárová, Helena (advisor) ; Brodská, Božena (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I focus on two famous choreographers of the 18th century, Gasparo Angiolini and Jean-Georges Noverre, and their dispute about the nature of the then emerging genre of ballet pantomime. After the introduction of both authors and a short outline of the period situation, more detailed description of reasons and consequences of their polemics follows. The main part of my work is the analysis of their printed texts and the opinions expressed within, especially Angiolini´s paper Lettere di Gasparo Angiolini a Monsieur Noverre from 1773 and following reactions to this particular work.

Puchowska, Sara Maria ; Wiesner, Daniel (advisor) ; Gremlicová, Dorota (advisor) ; Kazárová, Helena (referee)
This thesis deals with Polish dance scene?s situation after 1989. It?s dedicated mainly to three artistic canters: Greater Theatre in Warsaw ? National Opera which is most likely concentrated on classic technique, Polish Dance Theatre ? Ballet Poznanski, which in turn is a contemporary group and Studio Buffo where musical and dance exhibitions are presented.
The mentioned period was chosen because that?s the moment right after the fall of communism and when times were changing significantly. Yet another reason is lack of written information about those times
