Co-ordination Technique in the Baroque

This is a course for those wishing to explore and consolidate basic baroque technique. This course focuses on step and arm co-ordination, working with basic step sequences and a variety of rhythms and tempi.  We will not be trying to learn an actual dance, so there is time to concentrate on style and presentation.

The level is general - but students should have done at least a little baroque already.

On 12-17 August 2014, Chalemie will hold its 16th 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.

1835 wird im Theater an der Wien eine neue Posse mit Gesang von Johann Nestroy uraufgeführt.
Die Handlung spielt in nur einem Haus in Wien, aber auf zwei Ebenen und in zwei Welten, eben
zu ebener Erde in der Wohnung einer armen Familie und im noblen ersten Stock.
