Pressure from Above: Dancing Dissidence in Czechoslovakia in the Beginning of the 1950s
Original language description
This paper deals with political pressure exerted on various dance subjects in the post-war area at the beginning of the 1950s in the former Czechoslovakia. There is an exclusive source available for studying the theme: stenographic notation of conference speeches held in Brno in 1950. As expected, this event was one of those where official trends and styles were supposed to be confirmed to be correct. The ballet tradition and folklore revival movement were included among the correct ones, while other styles, e.g. pantomime and výrazový tanec (modern dance, Ausdrucktanz), were defined as harmful and unsuitable for the society in the period. This paper is focused on the situation of neglected representatives of výrazový tanec in particular and in general of the shifts in the notion of dance and its purpose in the context of the period's political system.
