Intermediates

In diesem Workshop wollen wir uns einmal nicht mit der Solo-Folia sondern mit dem wesentlich seltener gezeigten Duett beschäftigen. Die Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede sind für die Tänzer/innen interessant, die das Damensolo kennen, für alle anderen ist es einfach ein schöner Paartanz zu einer schönen Musik.

Grundkenntnisse im barocken Schrittrepertoire sind erforderlich.

Baroque Dance Course with Jane Gingell

In this course we will be concentrating on consolidating technique and co-ordination by studying sequences from notated baroque dances, as well as making co-ordination exercises and step-work. The level is fairly intensive, but we will also take some lighter relief with contredanse and Playford.

We will work for about six hours each day. This course is suitable for intermediate-level students of baroque dance; it may also be of interest to more advanced dancers, but it is not suitable for beginners.

The theme of 15` "Cracovia Danza" Court Dance Festival is music, which has been connected with dance since its beginnings. G. Dumanoir's work "Le Mariage de la Musique avec la Danse" ("The Marriage of Music and Dance") proves that the inseparable bound between those two arts has existed for many years. Masters of dance played on instruments and musicians performed the art of dance. Through the events of the "Cracovia Danza" Court Dance Festival devoted to this subject we desire to find this unique harmony of dance and music, nowadays so hard to achieve and less practiced than before.

This year’s central work for the La Pellegrina Baroque Summer School is Purcell's semi-opera King Arthur. King Arthur will be performed ‘semi-staged’ in the Vokův sál, Bechyně castle's splendid historic hall. King Arthur is about the early history of the British Empire, namely the kings Arthur and Oswald vying for the Grail. In the famous stammer aria cold Oswald melts for the beautiful Emmeline, the guardian of the Grail. When she makes clear that her heart already belongs to King Arthur, Oswald decides to abduct her.

Un joli bouquet de danses de Playford et de la Renaissance française:

Cherping of the Lark, Shepherd's Holiday, Hoboeken Dans, La Coranto, Danse du Chandelier  ... et autre Playford.

Il ne faut pas connaître les danses, tout sera montré, mais il serait favorable de les saisir avec facilité.

Man braucht die Tänze nicht zu kennen, alles wird ge-zeigt, aber man sollte sie leicht abnehmen können.

Alles Nötige wird auch in Deutsch erklärt.

Musique en CD et live, avec petit bal final.
