Das Cotillon Wochenende

Die französischen Cotillons erfreuten sich im 18. Jahrhundert großer Beliebtheit. Sie sind neben den englischen Longways die zweite Art von Contredanses. Bei den Cotillons tanzen jeweils zwei oder vier Paare in einer Quadrataufstellung zusammen einen Tanz, der nach dem Strophen – Refrain Prinzip funktioniert. Die Strophen werden dabei in der Regel aus einem festen Repertoire einfacher Figuren entnommen, so dass man meist nur den Refrain lernen muss, der den jeweiligen Tanz ausmacht.

Unser kleiner Blick in die Geschichte beginnt an diesem Wochenende schon im 17. Jahrhundert, denn sowohl die Quadrataufstellung, als auch das Strophen–Refrain Prinzip finden wir bereits 1651 bei Playford, auch wenn die Tänze hier noch nicht als Cotillon bezeichnet werden. Feuillet veröffentlichte dann 1705 eine Art von Prototyp des Cotillons, einen vergleichsweise einfachen Tanz: „Le Cotillon“, der diesem Typ von Tanz seinen Namen gab. Auf den Pariser Bällen in der Zeit der ersten Régence (1715-1723) sind Cotillons dann schon die beliebtesten Tänze. Aus der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts sind uns schließlich aus Frankreich, England und Deutschland eine Vielzahl von Cotillons erhalten, typisch werden nun Tänze für vier Paare. Am Ende des Jahrhunderts tanzen sogar bis zu 12 Paare gleichzeitig, bevor mit Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts die Quadrille den Cotillon ablöst.

Das Wochenende bietet einen leichten Einstieg in den Tanz und essenzielles Grundwissen für alle, die das 18. Jahrhundert interessiert oder es darstellen wollen. Aber auch wer etwas fortgeschrittener ist, wird von diesem Wochenende viel mit nach Hause nehmen.

Die Zeiten sind:
Samstag 12:00-14:30 und 15:30-18:00 Uhr
Sonntag 10:00-12:30 und 13:30-16:00 Uhr

Eiggth Malta Regency Weekend

For those who have never been to our Regency Weekend before, here is an outline of the weekend's activities.  I cannot confirm venues at this early stage except for the ball at Palazzo Manresa, information on which is attached.
Friday usually starts with a visit to a vineyard and wine-tasting with finger food. In the evening there will be the dance workshop (5-8pm) followed by supper.

Saturday morning we will have a costumed visit followed by lunch. We will return to Valletta to have a rest and get ready for the ball, which will be in the beautiful Refectory of Palazzo Manresa. Music by our string quartet, Cuerdas. Sally Petchey will be our caller and there will be finger food, wine and soft drinks.

Sunday we usually have a more relaxed costumed tea dance; sometimes including lunch, sometimes just tea and supper. There will be dancing, games and activities. We are in the process of securing a venue for this at present. We usually finish between 7 and 8p.m.
Most people prefer to stay in Valletta; the meeting place to board coaches to the various venues is the Phoenicia Hotel.

We make every effort to look after you during the weekend and to ensure that you enjoy yourselves. More detailed information soon.

Please advise me if you would rather not receive information about our events.
