4 + 4
Poznarová, Vendula ; NĚMEČKOVÁ, Elvíra (advisor) ; HAYASHI, Lucie (referee)
In my master thesis I compare four different personalities of the recent Czech contemporary dance and their dissimilar attitude to creation. The contents of my research are influences on forming and progress of their work and different creative backgrounds that lead to the uniqueness of their choreographical way and method.
Dissimilarity of this process I negotiate through the insight into the four conrete results of their work, so through the four current choreographical pieces of these artists.

Movement in connection with space, structure and sound of material in architecture Josip Plečnik
Palátová, Dana ; KODET, Jan (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jitka (referee)
Being inspired by architecture and using non-traditional space for new dance production is nowadays an increasingly popular feature. This thesis extends the research on the functionality and operation of space on building the choreography; it looks at this relationship especially through dance, which is based on these two concepts. In my choreographic works, I focus on this issue as could have been also proved in my previous thesis Scenography and space in choreography of Sasha Waltz from 2011.
When preparing chorographical and subsequently theoretical research for my diploma thesis, the procedures governing architects were practically applied to the movements. I observed the movement and creation process being influenced by my choreography. The work title also stresses out, except the space itself, the importance of texture, shape and sound materials in it that advance the creation of dance choreography. On this basis, I created choreographic principles which I analyze in detail also in my work.
This work is divided into four main chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the issue of connecting architecture and dancing, its historical development, the concept of site specific performances, to the choreographers who work with this theme and particularly dance in sacred space. The second chapter describes the creations and bibliography of architect Josip Plecnik. He constructed the church of the Sacred Heart by which I was initially inspired for my choreography. This architectonical treasure is in more details described in the third chapter. The last chapter as the final shape is represented by the choreography Materia which was created on the basis of the findings from previous chapters that means of the spaces of Plečnik's church. An integral part of this thesis is a DVD attached, showing the performance Materia, and embedded images which shall serve for better orientation and visual imagination to the topic.
The aim of this work is multiple: to point out the relationship between architecture and dance; to address the problems existing in contemporary dance due to its transfer into certain areas and propose possible solutions for avoiding that problem or using this issue for chorographical inspiration.
In this work, I use a compilation method based on an analysis of the basic sources and documents and I add my own texts and knowledge gained during the process of creating this production. This piece can also serve as a source for further research in the field of choreography.
