Questions of cultural identity, social structure and status, the body politic at play.

This conference will be of interest to dancers and historical dance researchers and also to costume designers, historians, musicians and drama students.

Over this weekend, a varied programme of papers, performances and workshops will explore some of the ways our dance heritage intersects with social life, looking at different centuries and countries.

The castle is ours for the weekend. Come and enjoy a great residence, spanning every century we dance.

On 13-18 August 2013, Chalemie will hold its 15th Summer School in Early Music, Dance, Period Costume Making and Commedia. Leading performers from the group will direct a series of workshops on 17th/18th century music, song, dance, commedia and costume making.

Barbara Segal will take the Baroque Dance course, and Barry Grantham the Commedia course.

The course this year will be held once more in the delightful surroundings of Headington School, in beautiful old buildings just a mile from the centre of Oxford.

Du XVe siècle à la Renaissance, nous connaissons essentiellement la danse de cour. Bien danser, savoir chanter et jouer d’un instrument permettaient de tenir avec grâce et dignité son rang dans la société. La Renaissance en musique et en danse est caractérisée par l’introduction dans le registre courtois de formes et d’éléments populaires. C’est ainsi qu’une part importante est accordée aux rondes, facteur de convivialité et de cohésion sociale.
