Playford 1651 ... et plus ! est une conférence en trois parties ayant pour objectif d'apporter aux danseurs un éclairage théorique sur leur pratique des danses à figures anglaises.
La deuxième partie en français (2/3) sera donnée le samedi 27 mars 2021 de 18h00 à 19h30 (heure de Paris).
First (1/3) in a serie of three talks given in English and devoted to the repertoire of 17th Century English figure dances and its reference text.
After the generalities of use and the reminder of the historical context, I propose to guide you step by step through the English Dancing Master.
In this first talk program:
This is a practical introductory workshop in eighteenth-century ballet technique, focusing on the serious and half-serious styles. The fundamentals of the technique (positions, constituent movements, orientations) will be presented, and the student will be systematically guided through a number of composite steps and their variants. The differences between the technique of the ballroom and that of the stage will be stressed, and entrenched misconceptions addressed. It is recommended that the student have some background in classical ballet, but the event is open to all.
