Babická, Tereza ; Gremlicová, Dorota (advisor) ; Brodská, Božena (referee)
Abstract
German dance criticism in 1830s Prague
In the early 19th century the Romantic era began in Europe. The German urban middle class lived in the age of the Biedermeier, the Czech society experienced a period of national revival.
In my thesis I focused on echoes of dance performances in Prague periodicals written in German language in the 1830s. I surveyed the dance reviews in three periodicals - Bohemia, Prager Zeitung and Ost und West ? and found a large number of articles on dance music and social, theatre and folk dances. My primary concern was the German dance criticism.
In this thesis you?ll get to know what was mostly reported about dancing, what the most frequent topics were, what the dance reviews looked like, how the professional dancers were judged by the critics of that time, who those critics were, how the movement of the dancers was described, what was reported about ballet and pantomime performances and what dances were popular among the people.
The expressions and phrases used in the dance reviews were reflected in the context of the Biedermeier era. The critics judged the plays and performances according to the aesthetic values of their time. It is extremely important to realize why they were writing that way about dancing and what they found interesting about it.

Turečková, Hana ; Gremlicová, Dorota (advisor) ; Wiesner, Daniel (referee)
In my thesis Bluebeard: Analysis of the choregraphic work of Pina Bausch I`m dealing with life of Pina Bausch, but especially with her work. Thesis begins with her memories of childhood, follows her studies at the Folkwang Schule in Essen and at the Julliard School in New York and her beginnings at the Wuppertal Tanze Theatre. Than I`m focusing on the work itself, its development and Pina Bausch`s work with dancers, music and scene and also psychological aspects of her work. Moreover what was her influence and what is the reception of her work. Second part of my thesis is devoted to a historical-cultural analysis. I`m mostly interested in what way she was touched by both European heritage and American experience. The penultimate part consists of particular analysis of the piece Bluebeard, which includes descriptions of all components of the work ? literary patern, music patern and finally analysis of the dance piece supplemented with illustrative pictures ? stills from the performance recording. In conclusion I tried to collect the best of interviews with Pina Bausch in order to provide better understanding of her motives, choise of subjects and attitude to work. Quotations from interviews are used broadly throughout the thesis. Important part is also annexes containing chronological overview of all Pina Bausch`s works as well as resumes of the tales of Bluebeard. Eventually I listed literar sources which are unavailable in the Czech Republic and which I for this reason could not use for further study. In fact I was mostly dependent on internet resources.

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.
