Dances from the 14th century, e.g. Domenico di Piacenza
This is a practical course in 15th century Italian dance, and is intended for those who are already acquainted with this period of dancing. The emphasis will be on style and presentation. The course is organised by Norwich Early Dance Group in collaboration with the Capriol Society. The tutor will be Véronique Daniels who has specialised in the Renaissance period of dance and music , principally Italian and French.
Nach einer längeren Pause meldet sich Winti Early Dance zurück! Wir werden euch am 15. Januar 2012 um 11 Uhr im Alten Stadthaus Winterthur ein buntes Programm an historischen Tänzen präsentieren.
Immer wieder werden wir mit der Frage konfrontiert, was denn historischer Tanz sei. Dies hat uns auf die Idee gebracht euch diesen Streifzug durch die Jahrhundert zu zeigen. Von den Anfängen des 15. Jahrhunderts, wo Tänze erstmals schriftlich festgehalten wurden, bis in die Mozartzeit präsentieren wir ein buntes Tanzprogramm mit vielen originalen Choreografien, aber auch mit Eigenkreationen.

All the fascinating dances of 15th century Italy are translated into English, with account taken of the more significant variants found in the 12 available texts and with commentary on the knotty points. The music is not included.
Sources are evaluated both as a literary tradition and as a performing tradition. Areas of difficulty where a text does not make choreographic sense are noted and possible explanations are offered.
