The 15th Annual Oxford Dance Symposium, ‘Living, Dancing, Travelling,
Dying: Dancers’ Lives in the Long 18th Century’, organised by Michael Burden and Jennifer Thorp, will take place on 16th & 17th April 2013 at Wolfson College, Linton Road, Oxford OX2 6UD, in connection with the Oxford Centre for Life Writing.
We are delighted to welcome to this two-day symposium an international array of speakers to share ideas and new research on subjects as diverse as the changing fortunes of dancers at royal courts and in private theatres, in capital cities and in the provinces, dance and caricature; also an important series of papers on female dancers (Sallé, Poitier, Campanini, Guimard) and on the pioneering work of male dancing-masters from England to Moravia (Weaver, Danese, Gardel, Gallodier).
The timetable, abstracts and booking forms, and also information about accommodation, can be downloaded as pdfs from the New College Symposium
