The Activity of a Dance Pedagogue
Mikysková, Barbara ; Kubicová, Ivanka (advisor) ; Ovsová, Libuše (referee)
For the purpose of this thesis I distinguish two groups of different approaches to pedagogy of dance and concentrate on the co called ?second category?.
My thesis is divided into three parts and this division expresses the gist and goal of my thesis.
The first part is devoted to the approach to pedagogy and education which is mentioned in this thesis. Here I build up on Plato?s conception tes psyches epimelestai.
Each of the following parts is concentrated on a different historical period of teaching dance (the beginning of the 16th century and the beginning of the 20th century). The goal of both parts was to point out the features they have in common. I also tried to show their similarity to education in general.
The objective of my thesis is not to chart the history of pedagogy of dance. This thesis shows the juxtaposition of two kinds of dance pedagogues and stresses the parallels between them.

Connecting upside-down elements in contemporary classes
Ryšlavá, Jana ; Ovsová, Libuše (advisor) ; Raček, Daniel (referee)
Because I have seen so much use of upside down principles in my experience with contemporary dance classes and performance, I have taken this opportunity to research different methods used in the dance world to approach teaching these principles from a technical standpoint. From my experiences with different pedagogues, I have extracted similarities in approach. I have formed an axis to show how upside down elements are used in teaching; pointing to some general mistakes which I have discovered through classes I have taken and classes I have taught. Contact improvisation plays an important part in this thesis; it provides a point of origin in exploring how upside down practice has evolved over the years, as well as a window as to how the principles I have explored in this thesis can function realistically.
