Teaching dance and movement in 1930-1989
Rauschová, Anna ; GREMLICOVÁ, Dorota (advisor) ; NĚMEČKOVÁ, Elvíra (referee)
In my diploma thesis, I focused on textbooks treating about movement and dance methods based on the works of Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, Isadora Duncan and Carl Orff, which were published in our country between the years 1930 and 1989, on their themes and authors. I have followed the circumstances under which the textbooks were published, the institutions that published them and their contribution to dance and movement pedagogy. I try to point out the main topics of each publication, and to provide their subsequent analysis and comparison. The goal of my work is to present an overview of a wide spectrum of dance and movement methods and to try to find a common theme in them. In the conclusion of my work I touch on the subject of the importance of this teaching material for contemporary conceptions of dance pedagogy and I complement the overall context with a list of textbooks published after 1989.

Čižmáriková, Monika ; NĚMEČKOVÁ, Elvíra (advisor) ; GREMLICOVÁ, Dorota (referee)
This thesis is focused on and is summarizing events in ballet of the National Theatre in Prague in 1970's and 1980's, specifically between 1969 and 1989. It's dedicated to personalities on positions as directors of ballets - Jiří Němeček, Emerich Gabzdyl and Miroslav Kůra, who, besides managing the ballet, worked as choreographers too. There were also other choreographers in the theatre aside from the above mentioned, namely Jiří Blažek, Antonín Landa, Vlastimil Jílek, or Daniel Wiesner. I describe individual seasons and specific works, which were introduced in premiere. Furthermore in my thesis I deal with extraordinary generation of interprets who were performing here, for example Michaela Černá, Marta Drottnerová, Vlastimil Harapes, Jan Kadlec, Lubomír Kafka, Jaromír Petřík, Michaela Vítková, Hana Vláčilová, Aneta Voleská, Pavel Ždichynec and many others. I put everything in the context of the political era known as „normalization“. Foreign groups and individuals, who gave guest performances in the theatre are also described. My primary sources of information were mainly: “Archiv Národního divadla” (the National Theatre's archive), “Ročenky Národního divadla” (the National Theatre’s yearbooks) and contemporary periodical „Taneční listy” (Letters of dance), from which I used mainly critiques and reviews for premieres. Another valuable source were personal testimonies of artists, who performed in the National Theatre at that time: Mahulena Křenková, Jiří Němeček ml., Astrid Štúrová, Hana Vláčilová and Daniel Wiesner.

Bartoš, Josef ; GREMLICOVÁ, Dorota (advisor) ; NĚMEČKOVÁ, Elvíra (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with First Czechoslovakian Dance Artists' Conference, which took place in Brno on 28th and 29th March 1950, based on the stenographic notation of its progress. Due to the large range of stenographic notation, it focuses on the most discussed themes, such as; period dance scene condition and reactions to period dance pieces; the recently established state-owned education system; teaching method issues; private dance studios; pedagogues' expertise; labor turnover of dance artists; folk dancing as an inspirational source and dance literature. Participants' convictions and thoughts illustrate the process of forming new ideological stances on the dance art sphere in Czechoslovakia after 1948; it reveals personal stances of each participant. It shows: ambiguous dance artists' relationship to the newly forming state-owned education system together with the requirement for shutting down private dance studios, clashes of modern and ballet dance representatives and the usage of their teaching methods while training new dancers, social and existential status issues, finding new ballet repertoire and its artistic sources.

4 + 4
Poznarová, Vendula ; NĚMEČKOVÁ, Elvíra (advisor) ; HAYASHI, Lucie (referee)
In my master thesis I compare four different personalities of the recent Czech contemporary dance and their dissimilar attitude to creation. The contents of my research are influences on forming and progress of their work and different creative backgrounds that lead to the uniqueness of their choreographical way and method.
Dissimilarity of this process I negotiate through the insight into the four conrete results of their work, so through the four current choreographical pieces of these artists.
