Something between us - Work with a Group of Performers
Reihserová, Lenka ; ELIÁŠOVÁ, Bohumíra (advisor) ; OVSOVÁ, Libuše (referee)
Summary
In my master thesis I focused on work with a group of performers.
I tried to describe this topic from a dance teacher´s point of view who both respects the dance techniques and searches the way of developing the dancer to be prepared for his professional carreer in which he is often a member of a group. In my research I came to several important conclusions which I included in the particular chapters.
I became aware of the importance of motor skills and perception, the meaning of dance improvisation and I also mentioned the problematics of teacher and performer´s forming of personality. I applied my theoretic conclusions in a practical examination as written in the last chapter.

Doris Humphrey (her Contribution to the Development of modern dance Techniques)
Reihserová, Lenka ; Ovsová, Libuše (advisor) ; Gremlicová, Dorota (referee)
In my thesis I focused on American dancer and choreographer Doris Humphrey.
I tried not only to approach her life in detail, but mainly to point out sources of inspiration that led to a technique based on the principle of ?fall x recovery?.
She was inspired by both human being and his everyday experience and Fridrich Nietzsche and his philosophical work The Birth of Tragedy.
Doris Humphrey created a system of exercises, which should lead to the development of her technique, and that?s why I chose a few exercises which illustrate this system. I dealt with detailed description of them and I enclosed photographs as well.
At conclusion of my work I was thinking of her contribution to the development of modern dance techniques.

Mikysková, Barbara ; Ovsová, Libuše (advisor) ; Kubicová, Ivanka (referee)
The master thesis ?The Consequences for Present-day Pedagogy of Dance? presents the structure of the scientific field pedagogy of dance.
This scientific field is been understood as one of many disciplines of pedagogy. Because of that Pedagogy of dance is seen as a scientific field.
Pedagogy of dance has not been studied from this point of view until now and so this thesis can not build on any former studies.
As one of the first steps in the research of this field it was necessary to map the borders of the field, define key terms and the matter of study.
The target of this thesis is to define pedagogy of dance as a scientific field related to pedagogy.
It is expected, that one of the benefits of this thesis will serve as basis that will support all processes related with teaching, researching and presenting dance in today?s society.
