„Der Tanz enthält alles, was zu einer schönen Sprache notwendig ist“, schrieb ein bekannter Tanzmeister aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Damit meinte er nicht nur das Alphabet der Schritte, sondern auch den Rhythmus der Sätze und den Ausdruck der verschiedenen Tänze. Die vornehme Gesellschaft an den Höfen Europas redete gerne, und widmete sich auch der Tanzsprache voller Hingabe. Große und kleine Feste waren ohne Tanz nicht denkbar. In diesem Kurs werden die barocken Basisschritte erarbeitet und in einfachen Tänzen zu einem ausdrucksreichen Ganzen verbunden.

Allgemeine Tanzerfahrung wird empfohlen. Bitte bringen Sie bequeme Tanzkleidung mit und Schuhe mit flexibler Sohle, ohne oder mit kleinen Absätzen (max. 3 cm).

Kurszeiten: Sa/So 10:00-14:30 Uhr (inkl. 30 Min. Pause)

Vorebereitungswochenende für den 9. Zürcher Barockball:

In der Zeit der Régence (1715-1723) scheinen die urfranzösischen 2-Paar-Cotillons in Paris ihren Siegeszug anzutreten. Kein Wunder: das französische Schrittmaterial beschränkt sich darin auf ein (rasch lernbares) Minimum und das Vokabular ihrer Formensprache ist auch sehr übersichtlich.

Wir widmen uns diesen aufstrebenden Cotillons ebenso wie den im Niedergang begriffenen Longways. Dabei richten wir unser Augenmerk und unsere Fussarbeit auch auf den Unterschied zwischen den "Contredanses en colonne à l'anglaise" und den "Contredanses en colonne à la française".

Choreographien aus

• Ms DURLACH 209/210 "Chorégraphie 1 und 2" c.1720
• Recueils de Contredanses 1706 (Feuillet), 1708 (Feuillet), 1712 (Dezais), 1717 (Jayme)

Der unbekannte Riese – Die Passacaille de Scylla

Diese längste aller bekannten Passacaillen (219 Takte) ist der heute barocktanzenden Welt vermutlich gar nicht so bekannt, weil es noch keine Einspielung der Musik gibt. Das mag u. a. daran liegen, dass Theobaldo di Gatti, der Komponist der Oper „Scylla“, derzeit noch im Schatten seiner berühmteren Kollegen wie z. B. Lully oder Campra steht. Wir haben den großen Vorzug, dass wir in diesem Sommerkurs die schöne Musik der Passacaille live gespielt bekommen und uns der Aufgabe stellen können, diesen immens langen Tanz einzustudieren. Die Choreographie ist von Louis Pécour (Sammlung Feuillet 1704) und wurde von einer der großen Ballerinen der Pariser Oper, Therèse de Subligny getanzt. Auf Wunsch wird die Choreographie (Feuillet-Notation) vor dem Kurs zugeschickt. Bleibt uns noch Zeit, wollen ein kurzes Ballet nach einer Vorlage von Samuel Rudolf Behr erarbeiten, wobei wieder viel eigene Kreativität gefragt sein wird.
