APPLICATION OF FOLKLORE PRINCIPLES IN PHYSICAL THEATER
Talaga, Martin ; STAVĚLOVÁ, Daniela (advisor) ; FRIČOVÁ, Marie (referee)
It can seems that folklore and physical theater are two very different issues. But they have got so many things in common bacause folklore have got so many principles which can help us find ritual character of theater. First of all because of folklore syncretism - it contains small rituals, games, plays, dance, music and spoken word. Contemporary art does not use these principles so much. We are used to that folklore is always presented by smal folklore village groups, or big professional companies. But there are much more possibilities than this, because principles which has been used before, are still very functional and usefull. This has been already marked by couple of great theoretics of theater. We reached this statement by observing of artists and dance companies which already involved folklore tradition to their work, and by my own choreographic work .
