Minimalism, inventions in contemporary dance creation
Stupecká, Kateřina ; ELIÁŠOVÁ, Bohumíra (advisor) ; WIESNER, Daniel (referee)
Describing the understanding of the term ´dance minimalism´ is the content of this theses. Following the minimalism´s journey (in the history of dance) and exploring how minimalism changes the ways of thinking and attitude helped me to clear my intention. I present information about radical figures, who were at birth (of minimalism), and period context mainly in the matter of searching and exploring the new ways of creation and also change of perceiving art that goes with it. The most important criterion is the change, which brings not only artist but also spectators to the new ways of thinking. The methods and ways of work of the important creators/artists, who work with or through out minimalism their own way or even create it are described with more depth. Music inspiration and its infiltration and impulses brought into the field of dance are at the forefront of the theses. I deconstruct and generalize the principles of minimalism, that go beyond to philosophical thougths and questions. The these also follows up the fundamental essence of minimalism - time, which in it´s innovative and till then not used ways affects spectators meditatively/contemplatively and even transcendently.

Petr Weigl as a director of ballet films and productions
Čižmáriková, Monika ; NĚMEČKOVÁ, Elvíra (advisor) ; WIESNER, Daniel (referee)
The thesis describes and summarizes dance work of the important Czech director Petr Weigl who was the first dramaturge and director of ballet in our country, and who earned great international success and appreciation for his films. He made many dance movies and collaborated on numerous productions in National theatre in Prague. Among the films were for example Pas de quatre, Víly (Fairies), Bolero and more. In my work I focus both on the films of Petr Weigl, which I describe and briefly analyse, and on his theatre productions, Vášeň (Passion), Radúz a Mahulena (Radúz and Mahulena) and more. I put a big emphasise on the ballet Romeo a Julie (Romeo and Juliet) from 1971. Weigl collaborated with the choreographer Miroslav Kůra on this ballet and it was an unusual success. In the end of my work I also deal with the problem of theatre direction, especially in dance performances, where I argue about lack of using directors in ballet. I see the core of my thesis in many testimonies of eyewitnesses who collaborated directly with Petr Weigl - Vlastimil Harapes, Michaela Vítková, Aneta Voleská and itself Petr Weigl himself, These personalities were a big source of facts and remarks, that are nearly forgotten in these days. I also use period reviews and critics of various Czech periodicals, for example Taneční listy, Právo, Lidová demokracie and much more in my thesis.

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.

Palátová, Dana ; Kodet, Jan (advisor) ; Wiesner, Daniel (advisor) ; Matásek, Petr (referee) ; Eliášová, Bohumíra (referee)
Sasha Waltz is not just a significant phenomenon in modern dance in Germany.
Her artistic influences have overlapped into traditional ways of staging operas
and erode cliché experiences, which are understood as static installations, such
as museums. In the thesis I have tried to map the work of Sasha Waltz through
space and her set design from the beginning of her career to the present. I had
the opportunity to personally see and compare her debut and latest projects. To
collect the main sources of my thesis about the work of Sasha Waltz, I spent
several months gathering information and conducting personal interviews
