Korošová, Kateřina ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Goldmann, Tomáš (referee)
Thesis name: The evaluating of the change of walking quality in dancers in comparison with the normal population Thesis goal: This thesis deals with effect of long-term ballet dance on kinematic parameters of gait. The theoretical part includes basic characteristics of gait cycle and kinesiological and biomechanical findings of ballet movement and its compensatory mechanisms in musculoskeletal system. There is analyzed angular parameters of gait cycle in ballet dancers in performance of walking in the experimental part. The results will show if the many-years intensive training of dance affects the alignment of particular joints of the body during human walk. Method: Kinematic analysis by Qualisys system allowing automatic processing of record obtained with infrared cameras. Qualisys uses its own high-frequency cameras for precise movement tracking of the measured object using active or passive markers. Gathered data from device were processed and statictically evaluated with Microsoft Office Excel. Keywords: gait, bipedal locomotion, dance, gait analysis, gait of dancers, ballet, kinematics analysis

Teatro salone italiano in Prague
Tillmanová, Hana ; Ottlová, Marta (advisor) ; Jakubcová, Alena (referee)
This BA thesis paints a portrait of one of the most interesting Vinohrady arenas, a permanent variety theatre founded by Italian theatre entre- preneur Eugenio Averino in 1875. The work partially departs from scarce entries in extant scholarship but mostly relies on independent source research, focused on a detailled study of the advertising and reportage tra- ced within contemporary periodicals and surviving theatre posters and programmes. The goal of the work is to provide as precise facts as possible concerning the theatre itself, its programme and the people performing in it and participating in its activity, with emphasis on a detailled differentiation of the individual stages of the theatre's development and with consideration for the theatre's position within Prague's cultural life.

Lifestyle and relationships in the subculture of ballet
Erben, Jakub ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Sládek, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the lifestyle and relationships among professional ballet dancers. Previous studies that have focused on this group, have not focused on the lifestyle as a complex phenomenon, the goal is therefore to supplement existing knowledge in this matter. Given the recent research coverage problem, the work uses explorative approach to the conceptual level based on the concepts of lifestyle and subculture and it uses methodologically a qualitative approach. In particular, the conceptual basis in the form of subculture largely determines the orientation, the process and the structure of the paper. It figures as a tool that allows us to organize a view of professional ballet dancers, and at the same time during the work the suitability of its application to this group is empirically validated. A view on professional dancers is also structured with biographical perspectives on the assumption that the form of life in this group is largely determined by the element of time. After defining the concepts related to ballet and introducing the factual account of events enabling to look into the historical and institutional context in which the Czech ballet dancers act, followed by a description logic of its study in this paper, including basic concepts of introducing subculture and lifestyle,...

Jílková, Eliška ; Christov, Petr (advisor) ; Kočí, Julie (referee)
Eliška Jílková Abstract The aim of the thesis work is to map characteristics and evolution trend of ballet dramaturgy in the National Theater during the season 2002/2003 - 2010/2011. To cover complexity of the topic, the text is broadened out by characteristics of all National Theater stages and the dramaturgy is specified with respect to the previous season. The text offers several views on repertory changes. Besides the methods of titlesselection it also points out external and internal conditions of this process. The thesis also roughly characterizes dramaturgy from previous season when the National Theater ballet was directed by Vlastimil Harapes. For clarity the work is divided by the nationality of authors. One chapter is solely devoted to guest ensembles whose staging have limited influence on the whole repertory appearance. The conclusion summarizes the findings about the evolution and present-day dramaturgy of the ballet. The thesis is finished with description of the most important and distinctive elements of the new dramaturgy concept. Keywords Ballet of the National Theatre in Prague , The National Theatre, dramaturgy, ballet, production, choreography, compound production, repertoire, Petr Zuska, Miniatures, Ballet Gala

Possibilities of physiotherapy at chronic overload of joints of lower limb on ballet dancers
NEŠPŮRKOVÁ, Martina
The thesis deals with problems of physiotherapy of ballet dancers who have got long term problems with lower limb joints overworking. The focus of my thesis is to present the issues of ballet and to state several specific kinesiotherapy and physiotherapy methods to prevent injury and overwork. In the theoretical part the anathomy and kinesiology of joints and fibrous apparatus of lower limbs are described. Next, there are the problems of hypermobility mentioned. Hypermobility is present by all dancers of classical dance, in case they are devoted to it for a longer time. One of the goals of this thesis is to give insight into a ballet. Therefore I have mentioned a history of a ballet as well as the issue of lower limb motional device injury, that are the most frequent. There are also the methods of examination and therapy mentioned in the theoretical part. The method of a qualitative research was used for the research part of the thesis.The research file consists of three ballet dancers, by whom the overwork of motional device in lower limb part has shown. The case history was taken during the entrance examination, the static examination in pelvis area was provided by aspection as well as palpation. Than the proof of hypermobililty according to Janda was done, the walk was examined, also the dynamical examination of pelvis - Trendelenburg-Duchenn proof, the walk analysis, the goniometric and antropometric examination. During the therapy the techniques of soft tissues were used, than the stretching of shortened muscles, the sensomotorical stimulation, the method of neuromuscular facilitation, the dynamical neuromuscular stabilisation and the exercises on a big ball. The part of every case interpretation is both short and long term kinesiotherapeutical schedule, by which the next goal of the thesis was fulfiled. The therapy was effective for all the dancers. First of all there is the improvement in the area of hock joint. The results of research part of the thesis have shown, that the methods, that were used were chosen appropriately and the effect of therapy is evaluated possitively. This thesis can bring benefit to any physiotherapist working with people having problems with lower limbs as case of overworking and unequal overloading. It shows the possible ways of therapy.
