| Summary: | The diploma thesis is focused on the theme of a dance culture and court festivities at the court of the queen Elisabeth I. The aim is to present information about the degree of our awareness about the noble festivities at the Elizabethan court that is very famous for number of the cultural achievements which are interesting but known only to a certain extent. The object of the thesis is to compare the cultural situation at the English court with the others in the second half of 16th century, describe specifics and effects which occurred in England originally and which were imported there in that era. The thesis will include the phenomenon named "the masques", which constituted a specific form of a court festivity with theatre-like dance performances. We will also cite the queen Elizabeth's fondness in dance and in theatre and her attitude to the dance art and court festivities as a significant element of the English nobility education in the renaissance era. |
