Dance and Heritage: Creation, Re-creation and Recreation

  • with Barbara Segal
  • 20-21 March 2010
  • London Colney in United Kingdom

Biennial Conference 2010
Dance and Heritage: Creation, Re-creation and Recreation
Sat 20th & Sun 21st March 2010 St Albans

The influence of heritage on dance creation through the centuries, e.g. the humanist, chivalric or classical influences on Renaissance choreographies; classical mythology and masques and ballets de cour; classical influences on 18th century dance creations; the influence of the 18th century on late 19th/early 20th century dance school choreographers...

  • The influence of a notional, ‘imagined’ heritage on actual dance creation – an imagined celestial harmony – an imagined court – an imagined village
  • Folk Dance: Cecil Sharp (Re-creation of an imagined folk heritage) vs Mary Neal (recreation)
  • Isadora Duncan and the Greek Muses
  • Issues of the authenticity of re-creations
  • Presenting history through dance (without using the choreography of the past)
  • Presenting history through dance (using dance of the past to represent that heritage)
  • Is there a place for new choreographies using historical dance styles?
  • Can authentic re-creations attract modern audiences?
  • Dance heritage and education – bringing history alive

The conference proceedings will be published. The text may be expanded for publication.
