THE POSSIBILITIES OF APPLYING MINIMALIST APPROACHES IN THEATRE
Hutečková, Klára ; ADÁMEK, Jiří (advisor) ; TOMÁNEK, Karel František (referee)
This thesis deals with what minimalism means in the context of theatrical creation. It aims to define different minimalist approaches. The first part of the thesis examines the meanings and particular physical manifestations of minimalist tendencies in various arts. Using these findings, the works of three important minimalists, who work with different art media, are analysed: the film Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles by Chantal Akerman and its remix Jeanne Dielman 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles Day x Day x Day, the video New Book and the minimalist symphony Tangoby the Polish cameraman and director Zbigniev Rybczyński and the production Einstein on the Beach by the theatre director Robert Wislon. As a result of this analysis, the minimalist approaches are introduced, their functioning is characterized and key points, which could be relevant for the theatrical medium, are emphasised in the third part of the work. The last part of this thesis reflects upon my own theatrical work and explores the future possibilities expanded by this new labelling of my artistic tendencies as minimalist.

Minimal art and minimal music
Šedinová, Pavla ; Bláha, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Špirk, Ivan (referee)
Pavla Šedinová: Minimal art and minimal music Abstract: This thesis focuses on the theoretical description of minimalism in the fine arts and music. It follows the progression of minimisation in art in the first half of the twentieth century, which culminates in minimal art and minimal music, and compares its principles with multiplication in the work of Andy Warhol and Velvet Underground. At the same time the paper discusses the difference between American minimalism and its European and Czech parallels. The aim of this thesis is describing main concepts of minimalism that could be relevant for teaching purposes. The pedagogical part of the thesis focuses on the manner in which the obtained information about the fine arts and music could be utilised in teaching, particularly in Elementary Art Schools. The practical part demonstrates my own approach to minimalist principles.
