Body ability in choreography
Puchowska, Sara Maria ; ELIÁŠOVÁ, Bohumíra (advisor) ; GREMLICOVÁ, Dorota (referee)
This thesis deals with the use of dancers´ body and its abilities by choreographers. The work is based not only on the study of literature (theoretical and practical part) but also on the research, which was part of the work carried out (questionnaire for dancers and choreographers). The aim is to describe what is the vision of the dancing body in the contemporary world. Is a relatively advanced age of a dancer an advantage or disadvantage on stage? The question is dealt with in terms of physical parameters, aesthetics, attractiveness for dancers and choreographers. At the same time this work is about dance medicine as a means of prevention, which can help prevent accidents in the choreographic rehearsals and contribute to the conscious use of physical possibilities of bodies of the dancers. Do the choreographers use bodies of the dancers primarily in terms of age and physical or mental abilities fully?

Dancing as a Journay to a Painting
Jandová, Markéta ; Turečková, Hana (advisor) ; WIESNER, Daniel (referee)
Dancing and fine arts are generally considered to be two independent art forms. Their impact though is mingling, they are inspiration to each other and capable of creating a harmonious whole when together. This work is a result of an insight into Jackson Pollock´s and Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker´s works ? thanks to whom the action painting/drawing can be compared to dance choreography. Both creative processes are linked by a joint way of dance where a painting is the outcome at the end of it. This text is trying to expose a painter who entered the canvas and created his work through gestic painting. It also concerns with a choreography whose process is joined with painting and the approached outcome is the same as for a painter ? creation of a painting. The end of this work is concluded with a confrontation of the author´s own experience with choreography, who works on connecting fine arts and dance through her own art work.

Dance on screen - appropriate cinematic approach
Lidová, Klára ; GREMLICOVÁ, Dorota (advisor) ; NĚMEČKOVÁ, Elvíra (referee)
The objective of this thesis is to give a practical overview of the phenomenon of dance on TV and in film - the theoretical, artistic, cinematic and technical principles that should be taken into consideration when attempting to record a dance performance in a 2D moving image, the options and possibilities available, the current state of discourse on the topic as well as potential future development in this area. The author's decision to focus on the latest developments (especially in the more technical Chapters 3-5) may come at the risk of the information described in these Chapters becoming obsolete rather fast. However, the numerous links to online sources provided in the Reference section will make it easy to update the paper.

Movement in connection with space, structure and sound of material in architecture Josip Plečnik
Palátová, Dana ; KODET, Jan (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jitka (referee)
Being inspired by architecture and using non-traditional space for new dance production is nowadays an increasingly popular feature. This thesis extends the research on the functionality and operation of space on building the choreography; it looks at this relationship especially through dance, which is based on these two concepts. In my choreographic works, I focus on this issue as could have been also proved in my previous thesis Scenography and space in choreography of Sasha Waltz from 2011.
When preparing chorographical and subsequently theoretical research for my diploma thesis, the procedures governing architects were practically applied to the movements. I observed the movement and creation process being influenced by my choreography. The work title also stresses out, except the space itself, the importance of texture, shape and sound materials in it that advance the creation of dance choreography. On this basis, I created choreographic principles which I analyze in detail also in my work.
This work is divided into four main chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the issue of connecting architecture and dancing, its historical development, the concept of site specific performances, to the choreographers who work with this theme and particularly dance in sacred space. The second chapter describes the creations and bibliography of architect Josip Plecnik. He constructed the church of the Sacred Heart by which I was initially inspired for my choreography. This architectonical treasure is in more details described in the third chapter. The last chapter as the final shape is represented by the choreography Materia which was created on the basis of the findings from previous chapters that means of the spaces of Plečnik's church. An integral part of this thesis is a DVD attached, showing the performance Materia, and embedded images which shall serve for better orientation and visual imagination to the topic.
The aim of this work is multiple: to point out the relationship between architecture and dance; to address the problems existing in contemporary dance due to its transfer into certain areas and propose possible solutions for avoiding that problem or using this issue for chorographical inspiration.
In this work, I use a compilation method based on an analysis of the basic sources and documents and I add my own texts and knowledge gained during the process of creating this production. This piece can also serve as a source for further research in the field of choreography.

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 .
