A course held in English in the heart of Paris

Dancing to Händel and Lully

This is a course for you who
– have never tried baroque dance before, but you are a mover, used to dancing and quickly take up new movements
– are a musician or a singer, used to baroque music and eager to move
– have experience with contre dances and know some of the basic step material
– have done baroque repertoire dances, but wish to work with the material at a slower pace

Choreographic material will be drawn from ‘The Prince of Wales’, a bourrée-like choreography by Anthony l’Abbé from 1727, set to music by Händel from his opera Giulio Cesare.

On Saturday afternoon there will be a workshop session focusing on ‘Gigue à deux’ by Feuillet from 1700, set to music by Lully from his opera Roland. For this session students are encouraged to study the choreography beforehand – for those who already know it, it will be an opportunity to work on style and technique. Those who don’t know it will learn only a smaller part and work on that.

There will also be time to relax in one or two easy contre dances.

Zusammen mit den Altstadtfreunden Nürnberg
lade ich Euch wieder zu einem ganz besonderen Tanzboden ein:
Zu einem Tanz in den Mai.
Die Walpurgisnacht ist berüchtigt für Hexentänz und Schabernack.
Traditionell gilt die Nacht vom 30. April auf den 1. Mai als die Nacht,
in der die Hexen insbesondere auf dem Blocksberg (eigentlich Brocken),
aber auch an anderen erhöhten Orten ein großes Fest abhalten.
Diese Vorstellung ist beeinflusst von den Beschreibungen
des Hexensabbat in der Literatur des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts.
Im 17. Jahrhundert erscheint bei Johannes Praetorius
(Blockes-Berges Verrichtung, Leipzig 1668):
„Ausführlicher Geographischer Bericht
von den hohen trefflich alt- und berühmten Blockes-Berge:
ingleichen von der Hexenfahrt
und Zauber-Sabbathe
so auff solchen Berge die Unholden
aus gantz Teutschland
Jährlich den 1. Maij in Sanct-Walpurgis Nachte
anstellen sollen.“

Eine ganze Nacht lang lassen wir uns
in die Glanzzeit Nürnbergs zurückversetzen,
schmausen, lachen & tanzen.
 
Zu meinem historischen Tanzboden treffen sich regelmäßig Tanzfreunde
von Nah und Fern für normalerweise einen ganzen (Sonntag-)Nachmittag
mit leichten Tänzen zum Reinschnuppern und Mitmachen.
Diese Tänze sind Gassen- und Kreistänze aus drei Jahrhunderten.
Dabei ist die Auswahl der Tänze so getroffen,
dass jeder ohne Vorkenntnisse einfach mitmachen kann.
Die Pausen werden gefüllt mit Geschichten und Wissenswertem
aus der Renaissance und dem Barock.
Als Tanzmeister in historischer Gewandung entführe ich Euch
auf eine Reise an die Höfe von Fürsten und Königen.
Den Auftakt bildet diesmal ein gemeinsames zwangloses Mahl,
bei dem viel erzählt, geschmaust und gelacht werden darf,
bevor wir uns zu einem kleinen bunten Ball aufschwingen.
 
Die Veranstaltung richtet sich
an alle Tanzbegeisterten und Freunde historischer Tänze,
die diese kennen lernen, ausprobieren
oder einfach nur das bunte Treiben beobachten
und den Wiederaufbau des Nürnberger Juwels unterstützen wollen.
 
Es werden keine Vorkenntnisse benötigt.
Auch für Begeisterte ohne festen Tanzpartner geeignet.

Eintritt: 20,- €
 
Um Voranmeldung wird gebeten!

Das Thema: Die Kolonialisten aus England brachten auch ihre Musik- und Tanzkultur mit nach Amerika. Die Landlord-Aristokratie in den Herrenhäusern an den großen Flußläufen der Kolonie Virginia war die Wiege der Gründungsväter der USA. Zu diesem Lebensstil gehörte auch die Ausbildung in Musik und Tanz. Diese waren „the social glue“ - der soziale Kleister - zur Pflege von Beziehungen in unsicheren Zeiten. Im Verwaltungszentrum Annapolis, wo sich die Elite oft aufhalten musste, gab es seit 1745 den von dem Schotten Dr. Alexander Hamilton gegründeten „Tuesday Club“ nach Vorbildern aus Edinburgh. „The Club documented musical activities in the city at weekly meetings, expressly and purposely European in character, using Western Classical Music but performances were recreational in nature, the earliest known American secular music“ (Library of Congress Washington: „Music in collonial Annapolis“ von J.B.Tally). George Washington und das Establishment besuchten anlässlich der Feierlichkeiten zur Staatengründung 1789 sowie bei dienstlichen Terminen in kollonialen Verwaltungszentren auch Bälle, man gab Gesellschaften (Assemblies). Thomas Jefferson lernte als Diplomat in Paris und London die Salons kennen, brachte Material davon mit in die Staaten, hatte die Hausmu- sikgruppe seiner Frau und Töchter für ausgewählte Gäste zur Verfügung. Unsere Workshops und der Hausball schöpfen aus diesen historischen Quellen. Wir lassen damalige bürgerliche English Country Dances und Pariser Salontänze mit den Einflüssen der Mentalität amerikanischer Kolonialzeit wieder aufleben.

Die Macher

Tanzanleitung: Axel Röhrborn (Kulturverein Erlanger Tanzhaus u.a.)

Join the Nonsuch Dancers for a fully residential dance course this summer

Led by Nonsuch Artistic Director, Darren Royston, the Dancing Master from BBC Four’s “Dancing Cheek To Cheek: An Intimate History Of Dance”. You’ll be learning alongside members of our professional dance company. You will have the opportunity to dance social and theatrical dances from the circle dances of the Medieval period to the Charleston of the 1920s, including dances of country, court and ballroom. We will connect to different historical periods, with music, art, costume and evening dances. Watch performances and demonstrations, be instructed by Darren all the way from your first step to your final bow.

• Daily dance classes exploring the style and technique of each historical period.
• Instruction of dances from historical material revived for contemporary performance.
• Evening sessions having fun recreating the dancing and pastimes of the Tudor, Stuart, Regency, and Victorian societies.

Optional activities include talks, lectures and local history trips or take the opportunity to explore the local area for yourself. No need to bring a partner – the course welcomes all ages of adults.

The venue, Ashville College, is set in beautiful landscaped grounds with plenty of parking on the outskirts of Harrogate and is accessible by road, rail or air, it is an ideal venue for this year’s Nonsuch Summer Holiday Course. The college has easy access to country walks and tours in the North Yorkshire Moors and the Yorkshire Dales. Take an afternoon to get refreshed in the world-famous Bettys Café Tea-rooms - established at the time when 1920’s crime novelist Agatha Christie hid-away in Harrogate as the Charleston shook the knees of dance history. So come and follow the dancing steps of Harrogate’s history this summer, flowing all the way from the middle ages to the syncopated age of jazz.

Address: Ashville College, Green Lane, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG2 9JP

This is a fully-residential course:-

• Accommodation you will stay in recently refurbished twin study bedrooms (please contact us about single occupancy).

The Course, with 36 hours of tuition over four days, dance classes start after breakfast with a Laban based warm-up followed by classes where you will explore different dance histories, with exercises designed to teach performance style, sample dances, and references to history, costume, art, and the social world. Some live music will be included as a form of accompaniment, as well as CD recorded tracks which can be purchased with instructions to remember the dances. You will have the opportunity to work in separate groups with different technical skills. During the afternoons you will be able to develop and practice dance, or to take a break from the dancing and try some other historical activity, visit the local area, or simply relax.

Classes will accommodate all levels of dance experience, from beginners to advanced, and would be of interest to students, teachers, actors, choreographers and those interested in social history. The dance classes allow an opportunity to taste the historical style, then develop a good physical technique, before experiencing a wide range of dance repertoire. Beginners and Non-Dancers will be instructed in the basics. Intermediate and Advanced students will be offered master-class and advanced training. Some classes will bring all levels together.

Dances from History will stretch from medieval dances that would have been danced in Knaresborough Castle to the Servants Ball at Downton Abbey.

In between, we will meet the cosmic dances of Leonardo da Vinci, the theatrical dances of Shakespeare, the secret dances of Samuel Pepys, the polite dances of Jane Austen and the dances of Dickens’ Victorian London. Nonsuch instructions and CD’s are available for all the dances so as well as taking home happy memories from the course, you can also teach some of these historical dances to others.…

Accompanying instruction manuals and CDs available for purchase.
