Regency

Auch in diesem Jahr ist Jane Austen für uns die Namenspatronin für die Tänze des späten 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhunderts, auch wenn diesmal kein rundes Jubiläum ansteht. Wir werden uns diesmal nicht ganz so eng an Jane Austen orientieren, schließlich wollen wir ja auch viele neue Tänze erlernen, der eine oder andere echte Jane Austen Tanz wird aber natürlich dabei sein.

Neben Tänzen aus England werden diesmal auch insbesondere Tänze aus deutschen Musenalmanachen auf dem Programm stehen. Dabei entsteht ein buntes Potpourri aus verschiedenen Tanzformen der Zeit.

Auch dieses Wochenende ist wieder besonders anfängergeeignet und bietet einen breiten Einblick in den Tanz der Empirezeit.

Wer mag, und entsprechende Kleidung hat, kann an diesem Wochenende auch gerne im Kostüm tanzen – wer also in ein Empire Kleid oder in einen Frack schlüpfen möchte, mag das tun, alle anderen tragen normale moderne Kleidung – wie immer.

Die Zeiten sind:
Samstag 13:00-15:30 und 16:30-19:00 Uhr
Sonntag 10:00-12:30 und 13:30-16:00 Uhr

WORSHOPS' DESCRIPTION

COURSE n° 1 from Saturday 17 to Wednesday 21 July

1. English Country Dances (3 hours / day) / Cécile Laye 

The workshop will again give us the opportunity to celebrate the incredible richness of the repertoire of English figure dances which have contributed so much to the history of ancient dance and which have reinvented themselves regularly from the 16th century to the present day.

Programme: "Homonymous dances"

They are dances using the same music for different choreographies from ancient and modern repertoire: Le Basque (Cécile Laye); Kneeland Romp (Gary Roodman);Virgin Frolick (The Dancing Master, 1710);Hand to hand (Gary Roodman); The Merry Milkmaids (The Dancing Master, 1651 and 1728 versions) ; A trip to Macclesfield (Brian Wedgbury); An Enchanted Place (Antony Heywood); two versions of Drapers Gardent (The Dancing Master, 1706) including one in menuet steps.

and / or

2. Baroque dances (3 hours / day) / Irène Feste 

Programme: "Unique choreographic scores"

• Entrée de l’Amiral de France en 1756 par M. Dupré (FL/Ms20.1/01)
• La Nouvelle Bourrée des Princesses par M. Rameau (FL/1728.1/14)

The singularity of these scores comes from the fact that they are the only dances choreographed, respectively by M. Dupré and by Pierre Rameau, which have reached us to this day.
Each of these choreographic scores is in a collection to learn the art of writing or describing dance.
After Raoul-Auger Feuillet’s “Chorégraphie….” in 1700, other dance masters tried to write a method.

La Bourrée des Princesses by Mr. Rameau, a dance for a man and a woman, is featured in the “Abrégé de la nouvelle Méthode dans l’Art d’écrire ou de tracer toutes sortes de Danses de Ville…” , by Pierre Rameau, published in 1728.

The Entrée de l'Amiral de France by M. Dupré, is described and noted in the “ Méthode pour apprendre de soi-même la Chorégraphie, ou l’Art de décrire…” , de Dupré, Maître à danser au Mans, published in 1757.
This is a ballet entrance for a man, quite approachable for a woman!
We will also see together that there is a surprise.

COURSE n° 2 from Tuesday 27 July to Saturday 31 July

The workshop will again give us the opportunity to celebrate the incredible richness of the repertoire of English figure dances which have contributed so much to the history of ancient dance and which have reinvented themselves regularly from the 16th century to the present day.

Programme: "From the Grand Square to the Square of Mahony"

From the old and modern directories, we will work on the evolution of a figure from the 17th century to the present day.The program will allow dancers to work with different aesthetics and proposals. The following dances will be included: Hunsdon House (The Dancing Master, 1670); Little Hunsdon (Pat Shaw); Les Lanciers (Alexander Strathy version, 1822); La Beaudri (La Cuisse, 1762);Cupid’s Garden (Marjorie Heffer); Play to win (Antony Heywood); Mary K (Gary Roodman)

and / or

2. Baroque dances (3 hours / day) / Pierre-François Dollé

Programme: "Les Caractères de la danse, fantaisie musicale de Jean-Fery Rebel"

After a gentle warm-up, mixing a moment of relaxation and body reconnection with progressive stretches, we will tackle together the technique of the «Belle Dance», returning to the fundamentals of all the steps necessary for the easy practice of this technique.

In a second time, we will explore the famous «Caractères de la danse», musical fantasy of Jean-Fery Rebel, a kind of exercise of style, which unfolds, like a thread of Ariane, most of the dances of ball and theatre in use in the first quarter of the eighteenth century.

After a prelude allowing the customary reverences, we will have pleasure to dance the Courante, the Menuet and the Bourrée, ball dances par excellence, then to travel in a lively and dense Chaconne, a Sarabande, a Gigue, a Rigaudon, a Passepied, a Lourre, a pastoral Musette to finish with an Italian Sonata, a sort of window open to a new fashion to come

These Characters of Dance were performed by many artists in the 18th century, including the dancers Marie Sallé and Marie-Anne de Camargo, who choreographed and danced them on the French and English stages in particular.
When Marie Sallé moved the audience with her sensitivity and charm, the Camargo impressed the Parisian public with its mastered technique, its jumps and its chats!

It is this whole range of intentions and styles that, in a choreography created by myself, in an idea of progression, we will study together, for the pleasure of dance, movement and the emotions that dance gives us.

Let’s dive together into these famous «characters», mythical piece if any!

Cécile LAYE

Cécile Laye is CHESTNUT’s teaching and artistic director. She studied old dance forms in England with the Dolmetsch Historical Dance Society,  Nonsuch History and Dance and EFDSS (English folk Dance and Song Society). She worked in particular under such famed teachers and researchers as  Anne Daye, Anne Cottis, Peggy Dixon, Ethyl Anderson, Marjorie Fennessy, Tom Cook and Alan Davies. In France she studied with Francine Lancelot, Andréa Francalancci and Barbara Sparti. At the end of the eighties, she founded AMARILLIS, a dance company meaning to bring to the public figure dances of the Stuarts’ time and the English inheritance, as well as some aspects of history and literature, with the collaboration of musicians and singers. AMARILLIS was replaced by CHESTNUT in 1998. CHESTNUT took over its predecessor’s artistic activities (creating dance and theatre shows), its teaching (preparing dancers for Balls through a rich program of workshops and classes) and its publication ones (CDs, dance descriptions, articles on Playford and modern dances). Over the years, Cécile LAYE has build up a strong experience as a dancing master and ball caller (French Renaissance balls/ English figure dances balls, or a mixture of both). She can pass on her taste for and pleasure in elegant dancing to beginners as well as seasoned dancers. Besides her activities in the field of dancing, Cécile Laye studied dramatic art and staging, graduating at Cours Florent. She also graduated at Eva Ruchpaul’s Yoga Institute and the Paris school of Gestalt-therapy. She played Shakespeare, Molière and Marivaux in Paris and elsewhere in France and takes part in creating new plays and shows, for children in particular. She draws on both sides of her extensive training, physical and artistic, to develop her teaching method. Her constant aim is to understand the needs of a given group and of each person making up the group, to build up a class so that each person gradually understands the dance, becomes aware of his/her body and its expressive capacities, be it during a lesson, a ball, or on stage.

"Gemeine oder gesellschaftliche Tänz sind zum gesellschaftlichen Vergnügen erfunden worden; deswegen müssen sie auch so beschaffen seyn, daß Personen, die sich kein Hauptgeschäft aus der Tanzkunst machen, dieselben lernen können. Sie kommen darin überein, daß zwei, und mehrere Personen, gemeinschaftlich nach einer kurzen Melodie, die in Bewegung (Takt) ihren eigenen bestimmten Karakter hat, nach bestimmten Figuren eine bestimmte Anzahl zusammengesetzter Schritte machen, und diese so lange wiederholen, als sie Lust dazu haben." (Tanzmeister Mädel im Jahr 1805)

In diesem Workshop erlernen wir einige Gesellschaftstänze des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts und versuchen vor allem auch an den Feinheiten der Schrittausführung zu arbeiten.

Discover the diverse world of early dance and experience the connection between movement, music, and beauty through time at this Midsummer Early Dance and Music Virtual Festival!

Midsummer Eve is one of the spirit nights of the year, when the boundaries between the worlds are the thinnest. Let’s use this magic to travel in time! Though science says it is impossible we will use dance & music as our time travel machine. During this virtual Festival we celebrate the longest day of the year with music and dance from 15th to 20th centuries.

We will visit Italian Renaissance courts accompanied by ensemble Gaita and learn the connection between various steps and musical tempos with live music on period instruments. Darren Royston will transport us into the world of the Shakespearean England to connect the dance and theatre. We will travel with Hubert Hazebrouqc through the "long Eighteenth Century" with minuet to see how much its rhythms and even the movements changed. Edmund Fairfax will challenge the most common misconceptions about 18th century ballet and introduce us to dancers performing at magnificent Versailles, in iconic Paris Opera and in street as part of comedie de l'arte. We will visit the ballrooms and fashionable assemblies of Georgian Britain with Sasha Zargowski to learn the refined dance styles of the Enlightenment era. Elana and Egor Anosovy from Trianon dance school in Moscow will transport us in time and space to learn romantic and dashing mazurka à la russe. Charlotte Ewart will bring alive the convoluted history of British monarchy with her fun and accessible for the whole family session of dance. The Festival will be wrapped up with the Early Dance& Music themed Quiz and panel discussion with teachers to learn how they discovered early dance and a chance to ask your own questions.

The Festival will be held online on Zoom platform. The access link will be sent on the 20th of June.
