Bartoš, Josef ; GREMLICOVÁ, Dorota (advisor) ; NĚMEČKOVÁ, Elvíra (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with First Czechoslovakian Dance Artists' Conference, which took place in Brno on 28th and 29th March 1950, based on the stenographic notation of its progress. Due to the large range of stenographic notation, it focuses on the most discussed themes, such as; period dance scene condition and reactions to period dance pieces; the recently established state-owned education system; teaching method issues; private dance studios; pedagogues' expertise; labor turnover of dance artists; folk dancing as an inspirational source and dance literature. Participants' convictions and thoughts illustrate the process of forming new ideological stances on the dance art sphere in Czechoslovakia after 1948; it reveals personal stances of each participant. It shows: ambiguous dance artists' relationship to the newly forming state-owned education system together with the requirement for shutting down private dance studios, clashes of modern and ballet dance representatives and the usage of their teaching methods while training new dancers, social and existential status issues, finding new ballet repertoire and its artistic sources.

Minimalism, inventions in contemporary dance creation
Stupecká, Kateřina ; ELIÁŠOVÁ, Bohumíra (advisor) ; WIESNER, Daniel (referee)
Describing the understanding of the term ´dance minimalism´ is the content of this theses. Following the minimalism´s journey (in the history of dance) and exploring how minimalism changes the ways of thinking and attitude helped me to clear my intention. I present information about radical figures, who were at birth (of minimalism), and period context mainly in the matter of searching and exploring the new ways of creation and also change of perceiving art that goes with it. The most important criterion is the change, which brings not only artist but also spectators to the new ways of thinking. The methods and ways of work of the important creators/artists, who work with or through out minimalism their own way or even create it are described with more depth. Music inspiration and its infiltration and impulses brought into the field of dance are at the forefront of the theses. I deconstruct and generalize the principles of minimalism, that go beyond to philosophical thougths and questions. The these also follows up the fundamental essence of minimalism - time, which in it´s innovative and till then not used ways affects spectators meditatively/contemplatively and even transcendently.

Capoeira
Slezáková, Kristýna ; STAVĚLOVÁ, Daniela (advisor) ; GREMLICOVÁ, Dorota (referee)
Dissertation discusses the cultural phenomenon of Brazilian capoeira and its Czech and European form. The whole text is divided into two parts, historical and anthropological. After an introduction describing the primarily motivation to study Capoeira we find a treatise on the methods of research and its process, which is related to the linguistic definition of the use of Portuguese terms. The first part of the anthropological section gives the reader an image of historical context of the development of capoeira in Brazil, and subsequently in Europe. Informations in this section are primarily taken from written sources, ie are driven from already explored areas of the theory of capoeira. The description of the European context is followed by a part where the entrance of capoeira into the Czech Republic is described and where the findings from my own research begin to be processed. Text flows into the anthropological treatise on the processes accompanying implantation of the exotic phenomenon in European countries and the reasons that led to it. The last part of the thesis deals with the effects of globalization of capoeira and various influences that changed or evolved the art in the new environment. The work presents the latest findings from the history and present of capoeira in its native Brazil as well as in Europe and is also the first work on the subject in the country.

Dance in the Contemporary Japanese Society
Hayashi, Lucie ; GREMLICOVÁ, Dorota (advisor) ; Švarcová, Zdenka (referee)
In my dissertation I have tried to describe the position and perception of dance in contemporary Japanese society from the perspective of modern methods of dance research. I focused on the transformation of the status of dance in society during the 20th century and the beginning of the new millennium, especially in terms of professional dance, its financial and media support, education, occupation and social status of dance artists in various dance genres. Context is completed with a reflection on the current problems of Japanese society that, to a large extent, affect the nation´s approach to dance, as well as a sociological survey on the perception of dance from the perspective of the young generation. It also includes an insight into the linguistic labelling of dance in contemporary Japanese.

Dancing as a Journay to a Painting
Jandová, Markéta ; Turečková, Hana (advisor) ; WIESNER, Daniel (referee)
Dancing and fine arts are generally considered to be two independent art forms. Their impact though is mingling, they are inspiration to each other and capable of creating a harmonious whole when together. This work is a result of an insight into Jackson Pollock´s and Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker´s works ? thanks to whom the action painting/drawing can be compared to dance choreography. Both creative processes are linked by a joint way of dance where a painting is the outcome at the end of it. This text is trying to expose a painter who entered the canvas and created his work through gestic painting. It also concerns with a choreography whose process is joined with painting and the approached outcome is the same as for a painter ? creation of a painting. The end of this work is concluded with a confrontation of the author´s own experience with choreography, who works on connecting fine arts and dance through her own art work.

Veracity in interpretation
Rampáčková, Katarína ; ELIÁŠOVÁ, Bohumíra (advisor) ; DUKIČ, Ivana (referee)
ABSTRACT
I explore in this work three planes of the theme: VERACITY IN INTERPRETATION.
In the first plane I look at the interpretation of the actor to dance interpretation. I'm talking about improvisation and creative work of performer. I deal with the phenomenon of internal images.
In the second level I observe the work of choreographers Pina Bausch and William Forsythe. In connection with Pina Bausch I think about the role of choreographer in post-modern era. Then I present a new dance program of computer Synchronous Objects created by dance ensemble The Forsythe Company and Ohio State Uiversity.
Finally, my work is dedicated to my own experiences and subjective point of view at the work of the choreographer. Not only in the terms of the relationship: artist - choreographer, but also in terms of choreographer as a developing individual.
