Contemporary Dance in TV Broadcasting

The thesis deals with the phenomenon of dance in television broadcasting with an emphasis on contemporary dance, which is defined as a manner of artistic expression (dance as a way of entertainment is not in focus). The goal of this thesis is not only to describe the historical relationship between dance and television from the very beginning of broadcasting, but particularly to point out the possibilities of working with dance on the small screen and to provide arguments to support the idea that contemporary dance on television has the potential to be an impressive event. An essential part of this thesis is also an analysis of the current situation in the Czech Republic and a proposal of issues for producers in providing dance on the screen to the Czech viewer in the future
