NOW POSTPONED TIL 4-5 JUNE 2011

11am – 5pm

Barbara holds classes in Baroque Dance in London, around the UK and abroad, for both beginners/elementary and intermediate/advanced students.

On 16-21 August 2011, Chalemie will hold its 13th 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, with a particular emphasis on the English repertoire of this period.

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 and situated in 22 acres of parklands, gardens and woodland.

Course Content

This five-day course will cover the technique and presentation of Baroque dance and is designed for all levels from the absolute beginner to the advanced student. No previous dance experience is necessary, although any knowledge of other dance forms will enable you to pick up the steps more easily.

19:00 - 21:00

Handel House Museum's Ensemble-in-Residence Spirituoso will take the audience on a moving journey through elements of art in 18th century Europe, exploring contrasting passions through music on period instruments and Baroque dance. Love, deception, grief and joy are enacted through music and movement, uniting two characters in a forbidden love.

Works by Couperin, Rameau, Lully, Leclair, Monteclair, Marais, Campra, Purcell and Vivaldi. Choreographies by Pecour, Feuillet and Barros.

12h30 à 15h30 : Stage de danses baroques

ouvert à tous .....ceux qui veulent découvrir le style baroque ou s'amèliorer !

avec Chrystelle de la Cie des Fêtes Baroques

Nous vous proposons une approche des 2 danses ( contredanses et menuet ) en 3 heures ces 2 danses sont vraiment trés différentes mais elles vous permettront de choisir par la suite celle que vous préférez, et de pouvoir aussi travailler d'autres contredanses et d'autres menuets.

Nous allons beaucoup insister sur les pas de base.

Ne vous inquietez pas !!!

The entertainment “Fragments de Monsieur de Lully” was a patchwork of Lully’s top hits, interwoven with music by Campra and packed full of song and dance. You might call it a baroque version of “The Best of Lully!” Among its colourful characters were heroes, sea nymphs, shepherds – and the ever-popular figures of the Commedia dell’Arte, with its Harlequins and Scaramouches . In this course, we’ll be learning a Forlana from the work, by Pécour, and exploring how the commedia characters might fit into the staging.

Feuillet repertory and improvisation, two weekends in November/December 2010

This is a course aiming at students with a good dance technique, who are well acquainted with the baroque dance repertory and have a basic knowledge in reading Feuillet notation.
