Orientation in the moral dimension of children group games - the influence of experience with circus pedagogy
Licholetova, Kateřina ; Klusák, Miroslav (advisor) ; Pavlas Martanová, Veronika (referee)
Following Piaget's research on children's moral judgment, Kuruczova found that in school aged children, the development of orientation in the moral dimension of games organized as a competition significantly preceded the development of orientation in the moral dimension of games organized as cooperation. According to Kuruczova, considerable differences in the degree of orientation between the two types of games may be related to how ordinary school institutions build on competitive ideology, thereby promoting a sense of social relations in the game competition at the expense of sensitivity in game cooperation. Thereafter she discussed that it could be different for children with experience with circus pedagogy, which builds on the ideology of cooperation. The objective of this thesis was to contribute to Piaget's theory of the development of children's moral judgment and to examine whether children's alternative experiences affect their moral orientation in the children's group games and the transition from heteronomy to autonomy in understanding the imperative of obedience to authority.

Than it focusses on the ideology of circus pedagogy and social circus, including knowledge about their positive...

Contemporary circus training
Smolková, Veronika ; ŠTEFANOVÁ, Veronika (advisor) ; BRTNICKÁ, Eliška (referee)
This thesis is dedicated to basic methods of contemporary circus aerial acrobatics training. It describes my own system and method which I have developed over the time I've been teaching, practicing and performing aerial acrobatics. The objective of this thesis is to emphasize the importance of comprehensive (contemporary-circus) training as the basis of the creative process in the field of this acrobatic technique. This thesis is divided into three main sections. The first one is devoted to physical preparation and mostly describes my own method called “The Animal Training” which facilitates warm-up, mobilization, strengthening and stretching of various parts of the body. The second major section deals with the psychosomatic preparation. It sets aerial acrobatics into the context of other circus techniques and describes its unique properties. It also discusses such topics as fear, pain, concentration and safety and outlines ways of working with these. The final section demonstrates my personal approach to the creative process in aerial acrobatics using the specific example of a concrete acrobatic number on the static trapeze.

Štefanová, Veronika ; Christov, Petr (advisor) ; Drozd, David (referee) ; Pšenička, Martin (referee)
This dissertation introduces contemporary circus as a type of dramatic art. The work thus provides a basic framework for the analysis of contemporary circus and suggests a terminology for the designation of its specific traits. This terminology is derived first and foremost from the Czech theatre studies environment. The theoretical delineation of contemporary circus stems from selected theses from Otakar Zich's The Aesthetics of Dramatic Art and Erika Fischer-Lichte's The Transformative Power of Performance: A New Aesthetics. Contemporary circus, which is depicted as belonging to several discourses - historical, aesthetic, cultural policy and pedagogical, is described from a formal as well as content-focused point of view in order to best point out how the circus element changes and takes on meaning in relation to its theatrical counterpart. The thesis is subdivided into five parts. The introduction outlines the key theme, goals and methodology as well as terminology and theories which provide the work with a suitable point of departure. The Contemporary and Traditional Circus chapter describes the history and development of traditional as well as contemporary circus in selected countries (France, Canada, USA, Scandinavia) which are considered significant within the context of circus arts...
