The Ball
Pleasure - Power - Politics
1600 - 1900

The ball, a universal social phenomenon, whether at princely courts, civic festivities or private celebrations, has many new facets across the centuries.

Dedicated to the pleasures of dance in multi­farious forms and styles, the ball is also an arena for displays of princely power, staged rituals, carefully regulated forms of social contact, and advantageous self-representation. Not least, the ballrooms of Europe reflect the continent’s po­litical and societal developments, their evolutions and revolutions.

Our journey through three centuries of dance history not only leads us to the ballrooms of Vienna, Dresden and Moscow, but also illus­trates the transfer of dance culture across the whole of Europe. We trace the lives of dancing masters who once drew crowds to the ball­rooms and explore the various manifestations of balls on stage.

In addition to lectures, the symposium includes workshops and dance evenings, in which the most popular ball dances, such as minuet, alle­mande, contredanse and quadrille, evoke the atmosphere and sensibility of these epochs.

Conference languages are English and German. This time with simultaneous translation into English and German!

RESEARCH DANCE - DANCE RESEARCH: Our central goal is to bring together dancers and researchers and thus enable intensive inter­action between the latest research and current dance practice.

• A series of lectures presents the present status of dance research.
• Workshops give an opportunity to try out new dance styles and reconstructions.
• Short performances demonstrate current artistic interpreta­tions.
• A bookshop offers a wide range of literature and music relating to dance.
• Social dance evenings with live music help make a variety of new contacts.
• A celebratory ball with costumes of the pe­riod represents the culmination of the con­ference.
• Sharing leisure and programme together in the castle enables a time of especially inten­sive contact.

Beim schon fast traditionellen Frankfurter Jane Austen Wochenende nehme ich natürlich wieder die wenigen Tänze aus der Zeit aufs Programm, die wir wirklich Jane Austen zuordnen können. Einen beliebten Tanz: „Mr. Beveridge's Maggot“, der zwar nicht in die Zeit gehört, aber durch die Jane Austen Filme zu einem „Jane Austen Tanz“ wurde, möchte ich in einer neuen quellennahen Fassung ausprobieren. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt werden an diesem Wochenende neue Tänze aus dem „Taschenbuch zum geselligen Vergnügen“ sein, die vermutlich seit rund 200 Jahren nicht mehr getanzt wurden. Kostüme aus der Empirezeit sind willkommen, aber natürlich tanzen wir ansonsten wie üblich in unserer heutigen praktischen Kleidung.

Die Zeiten sind:
Samstag 12:00-14:30 und 15:30-18:00 Uhr
Sonntag 10:00-12:30 und 13:30-16:00 Uhr

For those who have never been to our Regency Weekend before, here is an outline of the weekend's activities.  I cannot confirm venues at this early stage except for the ball at Palazzo Manresa, information on which is attached.
Friday usually starts with a visit to a vineyard and wine-tasting with finger food. In the evening there will be the dance workshop (5-8pm) followed by supper.

Saturday morning we will have a costumed visit followed by lunch. We will return to Valletta to have a rest and get ready for the ball, which will be in the beautiful Refectory of Palazzo Manresa. Music by our string quartet, Cuerdas. Sally Petchey will be our caller and there will be finger food, wine and soft drinks.

Sunday we usually have a more relaxed costumed tea dance; sometimes including lunch, sometimes just tea and supper. There will be dancing, games and activities. We are in the process of securing a venue for this at present. We usually finish between 7 and 8p.m.
Most people prefer to stay in Valletta; the meeting place to board coaches to the various venues is the Phoenicia Hotel.

We make every effort to look after you during the weekend and to ensure that you enjoy yourselves. More detailed information soon.

Please advise me if you would rather not receive information about our events.
