Dr Lynsey McCulloch’s lecture on Dance, Stillness and the Early Modern Image will deal with the iconic nature of the dance image in the English court masque. She will examine the use of stillness within dance - not as a precursor to motion - but as a state in its own right and also look at dance as a static image in art and printed sources in the early modern period. Dr McCulloch has taught at Coventry University and is a Research Fellow in the Department of Learning and National Partnerships at the Royal Shakespeare Company. Her new book, Dance and the Static Image, has just gone to press.
The event is free to EDC Members (a birthday present!); non-members is £10 per person. An EDC Annual Membership is £20; email members@earlydancecircle.co.uk to join. Reserve your tickets at http://tinyurl.com/bde4829s
