Bartoš, Josef ; STAVĚLOVÁ, Daniela (advisor) ; ČÍŽKOVÁ, Klára (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the psychology of dance, the previously neglected field of applied psychology and systematic dance science. The aim of this work is to define the space in which the study could take place while designing topics and perspectives for further study. With this aim, the author addresses related scientific disciplines (anthropology, sociology, aesthetics) and their applied spheres in the field of psychology and dance. He carries out research of published Czech and foreign literature, with emphasis on the work of Czech theoretician and critic Jan Reimoser. The literature is also enriched by the related applied psychological disciplines (psychology of music, sports psychology) to inspire further study. The essence of the study is the results of the field research carried out with participants of Czech dance events. In the framework of the survey, five thematic areas from the field of dance psychology (motivation, prerequisites for the dance profession, personality and its uniqueness, perception and multidimensionality, experiencing) were selected and discussed with eleven carefully selected informants using the semi-structured interview technique. Narratives were evaluated using qualitative analysis methods. The aim of the research was to provide empirical data for the theoretical part of the thesis and to argue eligibility of further studies. It is clear from the study that psychology is an integral part of dance art and that it deserves further detailed study as such.
