This year the course will explore the early 15th century—dance forms which were in existence already in the late 1300s in music, images (for ex. Giotto, Lorenzetti) and literature (Boccaccio). The choreographies will be based on a study of these sources and the contemporary dance-types: rounds, open chains and serpentines, couples dancing in processionals and solo saltarello dances. Recent texts by musicologists and other specialists will be discussed.
The first balli by Domenico of Piacenza and Guglielmo Ebreo will also be learned.
