Deda Cristina Colonna, livello intermedio

I am very happy to be back for a third year at the Summer Academy, under a theme that is at the heart of my professional path within baroque dance. For this course, I propose to let students become acquainted with one or two wellknown characters as they are portrayed in Entrée de matelot (on Marin Marais’ Marche pour les matelots from the opera Alcione, choreography in Recueil Factice Rés. 817) and Madelon Friquet Paysan (on André Campra’s Second air en rondeau from the opéraballet L’Europe Galante, choreography in Recueil Descan Ms fr 14884). According to the level and the needs of the class, I may as well bring her students to explore La Matelotte, a couple dance by Feuillet (5e Receuil de danses de bal pour l’année 1707). The class will begin with a warmup specific to the baroque technique, and then continue with sequences based on the notated choreographies. My aim is to allow for technical improvement, as well as the learning of the new choreographies, while keeping a special emphasis on character construction.
