MALE AND FEMALE ELEMENT IN CLASSICAL DANCE
Ličková, Gabriela ; Janeček, Václav (advisor) ; Křenková, Mahulena (referee)
Abstract
This master thesis analyses the relation of classical dance to dancers of both female and male sex. The first part briefly describes the history of classical dance, especially in terms of its key personalities, revolutionary moments which somehow influenced the view of ballet dancers from a gender perspective, the development of classical dance technique and pedagogy. The second part consists of a methodical analysis of the elements of classical dance in which both female and male dancers present themselves significantly - females for example by the technique ?sur les pointes?, and males by ?allegro?. In general, it is difficult to determine the strict boundary between the elements performed exclusively by male or female dancers. Nowadays, the differences between the sexes in terms of classical dance technique are vanishing.

This master thesis deals with the development of elements of the academic dance during 18th and 19th century as described by dancing masters and theoreticians in their treatises. Using a chosen sample of dance elements, the thesis demonstrates the development of the inner content of dance terms and compares the manner of executing and describing the elements by individual authors such as Pierre Rameau, Gennaro Magri or Carlo Blasis. The development of individual dance elements is compared with the currently used ones and the thesis therefore represents an insight of historical development of the terminology of the academic dance.

Seven kinds of movement in classical dance
Ličková, Gabriela ; Janeček, Václav (advisor) ; Křenková, Mahulena (referee)
In my work I presented at first the personage of E. A. Théleur and the seven basic movements according to him. Afterwards, I focused on the method of E. Cecchetti. I compared his seven kinds of movement - plier, relever, glisser, tourner, sauter, étendre, élancer with the Théleure?s list. I found several differences and realised the ambiguity of an interpretation of ideas of both men. At the end I presented a detailed description of Cecchetti?s seven kinds of movement, based on my personal experience with classical dance, in term of their usage in classical dance. I discovered that all kinds of movements mentioned above are equally important in classical dance. One is connected to the other; they complement each other and all together create one movement unit.
