History of the National Theatre Ballet in the years 1930-1951
Routková, Kateřina ; Bendová, Eva (referee)
The rigorous thesis deals with the influence of the 20th century political events on the National Theatre Ballet. The researched period is set out by the years 1930-1951. The work follows the pre-war situation of the two ballet leaders Jelizaveta Nikolská and Josef Joe Jenčík, the rise and fall of German nationalism, the dance-related career of Emanuel Famíra, post-war Czechoslovakia, the rise of communism, the dark fifties and the work of Saša Machov. The research of ballet specifics is dealt with in the circumstances of the time. The character of the time is further illustrated by the destinies of the group's leaders (or its soloists), the selected repertoire and the reviews that evaluated the individual works. It is therefore not a chronological listing of the activities of the National Theatre's ballet troupe, but an analysis of the influence of the contemporary political situation and an attempt to place this often neglected component of the National Theatre in a historical context.

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.
