Czech - French Interaction and its significance for modern Czech pantomime
Vizváry, Radim ; PETIŠKOVÁ, Ladislava (advisor) ; HYVNAR, Jan (referee)
The work examines Czech ? French relations and its impact on modern Czech pantomime after 1945 in three respects. The aim of this work was to create an overview mapping French contacts with leading figures of modern Czech pantomime. The first section is concerned with historical perspectives. Based on the direct testimony of participants, research, and the discovery of yet unpublished archive material, I introduce new facts and verify the historical context during the renewal of interest in pantomime art in Czechoslovakia after 1945. While I was guided by historical events in interpreting this considerable body of material, I endeavored to record and develop the most significant events in broader and deeper contexts. The second aspect of my research focuses on a comparison of individual French mime techniques which have been and continue to be used here. I then attempt to compare these with my own method. I particularly understand them from a practical point of view, as I have learned and mastered these approaches and even adopted some for my own performing and teaching. In the third section, I assess the influence of French mime art on my artistic activity with respect to my teaching practice and own artistic work. This was most evident in the creation of Mesdames & Messieurs, Deburau!, where I played the main character, and while directing the opera Theater Beyond the Gate by B. Martinů.

Moravec, Jaroslav ; ŠTILEC, Jiří (advisor) ; BĚLOR, Roman (referee)
The purpose of this study is to explore the issues of financing selected Czech orchestras and to confront these economy mechanisms, which are well established in the Czech Republic, with some European orchestras. As the representatives of the Czech environment, I selected six orchestras in total; they are Czech Philharmonic, Prague Symphony Orchestra FOK, Brno Philharmonic, Pilsen Philharmonic, Janáčkova Filharmonie Ostrava, and PKF - Prague Philharmonia. Then, from Europe, I paid attention to the orchestras which are either close to the Czech environment in terms of history or area, or inspiring for us for various reasons. Specifically, I work with the following orchestras: Berliner Philharmoniker, Het Koninklijk Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the British London Symphony Orchestra, and Slovenská filharmónia. The goal of this study is to create an overview of economy characteristics of all these Czech and European orchestras, to compare these ways and evaluate them.

The thesis provides a survey of the profession of a dancing master in Bohemia in the 20th century with overlap to the present. The author continues the research of the profession of dancing masters she started in her bachelor thesis, where this topic was explored in the context of the 19th century. This master thesis deals with the input assumptions an individual had to fulfill in order to be officially considered as a dancing master. Particular aspects related to organizing dance courses are covered as well (dancing master as the main organizer in his dance school or without it, or dancing master only as a pedagogue while someone else organizes dance courses). The profession of a dancing master is analyzed in the context of particular activities in which dancing masters of 20th century were involved. The aim was also to gain an idea about the social status and the prestige of the dancing master?s profession.

Building Cultural Centre
Roubalová, Dagmar ; ČUŘÍKOVÁ, Tamara (advisor) ; HRBEK, Daniel (referee)
Cultural center or cultural house as a building can be found in almost every Czech village. Their operation seems simple, but in practice it looks that like a very complicated question. After 1989 the network of cultural centers was canceled and currently there is no database that would tell the actual list of cultural buildings in the Czech Republic, who are of existing and functioning. Also, now there are rarely built, but very often rebuilt those buildings of cultural centers. These buildings have specific rules, regulations and standards, which are done by the law, its design should be also based on the needs of current and future users, both operators and visitors. Master's thesis summarizes the general and specific requirements that must be taken in building a cultural center and presents a case study on building a concrete cultural center in the suburb of Prague. The main impulse for writing this work is the belief that more attention should be given to this issue. The cultural center as a multifunctional space offering a wider range of programs available to all the population is the first and closest point of contact with the culture of everybody of us. It affects overall relationship to cultural values and is also a place where everyone will have these values to guarantee equal and free access.
