  • Hornpipes and Disordered Dancing in the Late Lancashire Witches: a Reel Crux?
    Early Theatre 16.1 (2013), 139–49 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.12745/et.16.1.8 Note Brett D. Hirsch Hornpipes and Disordered Dancing in The Late Lancashire Witches: A Reel Crux? A memorable scene in act 3 of Thomas Heywood and Richard Brome’s The Late Lancashire Witches (first performed and published 1634) plays out the bewitching of a wedding party and the comedy that ensues. As the party- goers ‘beginne to daunce’ to ‘Selengers round’, the musicians instead ‘play another tune’ and ‘then fall into many’ (F4r).1 With both diabolical interven- tion (‘the Divell ride o’ your Fiddlestickes’) and alcoholic excess (‘drunken rogues’) suspected as causes of the confusion, Doughty instructs the musi- cians to ‘begin againe soberly’ with another tune, ‘The Beginning of the World’, but the result is more chaos, with ‘Every one [playing] a seuerall tune’ at once (F4r). The music then suddenly ceases altogether, despite the fiddlers claiming that they play ‘as loud as [they] can possibly’, before smashing their instruments in frustration (F4v). With neither fiddles nor any doubt left that witchcraft is to blame, Whet- stone calls in a piper as a substitute since it is well known that ‘no Witchcraft can take hold of a Lancashire Bag-pipe, for itselfe is able to charme the Divell’ (F4v). Instructed to play ‘a lusty Horne-pipe’, the piper plays with ‘all [join- ing] into the daunce’, both ‘young and old’ (G1r). The stage directions call for the bride and bridegroom, Lawrence and Parnell, to ‘reele in the daunce’ (G1r). At the end of the dance, which concludes the scene, the piper vanishes ‘no bodie knowes how’ along with Moll Spencer, one of the dancers who, unbeknownst to the rest of the party, is the witch responsible (G1r).

Morris dancing is always (or almost always) performed with live music. This means that musicians are an essential part of any morris team. If you are reading this document, it is probably because you are a musician (or potential musician) for a morris dance team. Good morris musicians are not always easy to find. In the words of Jinky Wells (1868– 1953), the great Bampton dancer and fiddler: . [My grandfather, George Wells] never had no trouble to get the dancers but the trouble was sixty, seventy years ago to get the piper or the fiddler—the musician.

    ● ● ● ● ● Photo by Lois Greenfield. About the Performance The Performance at a Glance Each of these different elements can be the basis for introducing students to the upcoming performance. Who are the Trinity Irish Dance Company? Trinity Irish Dance Company were formed in 1990 by Mark Howard in an effort to showcase Irish music and dance as an art form. The company is made up of 18- 25 year olds, and has received great critical and popular acclaim from audiences throughout the world. They have performed all over the world, and have collaborated with many notable contemporary choreographers and musicians. Trinity holds a unique place in the dance world, offering a highly skilled presenation of progressive Irish step dance. Who is Mark Howard? Mark Howard is the founder and artistic director of the Trinity Irish Dance Company, and choreographs much of the company’s work. Born in Yorkshire, England, and raised in Chicago, Mark Howard began dancing at the age of nine, and later went on to become a North American champion Irish dancer. He started the Trinity Academy of Irish Dance at the age of 17, and dancers from this school have won 18 world titles for the United States at the World Irish Dance Championships in Ireland. Howard wanted to find a way for his dancers to do more than just compete for tropies and prizes, so in 1990 he founded the Trinity Irish Dance Company as a way to showcase Irish music and dances as an art form. Mark Howard continues to choregraph new works for the company, and he has expanded his independent career to work in theater, television, concert and film.

  • ATL 2016 Bios of Leaders & Musicians
    ACROSS THE LAKE ~ JUNE 10, 11, 12, 2016 English Country Dance Weekend on the Vermont side of Lake Champlain OUR TEACHERS Scott Higgs began dancing in college, and started teaching soon thereafter, when the knowledgeable dancers graduated! For many years he has traveled the world (25 states and 6 foreign countries) delighting dance enthusiasts at weekends and week- long dance camps. His engaging programs make everyone welcome: offering nuances to engage experts, with a light- hearted approach that makes novices feel comfortable and successful. Scott takes particular pleasure in helping dancers stretch their skills and discover new aspects of music and dance, with an emphasis on fun! Scott has composed many of his own dances, and has developed and led intensive dance leadership workshops. Scott has served as a program director for CDSS at Pinewoods and has also served on the CDSS Board of Directors. Melissa Running discovered she could take folk dance for PE credit in college, and never looked back. She started playing for dances and then calling English in the Philadelphia area. She now lives in Silver Spring, MD, calls nationally, plays piano for English and Scottish country dancing, and plays the nyckelharpa for pleasure and for Swedish dancing (and a little Norwegian, and sometimes English). She’s written a number of dances and a larger number of tunes. In her other life, she is a technical writer for a government contractor, where she may yet convince her colleagues to come dancing after work. She is renowned for her warm, accessible, and fun-loving style leading English Country dance.

  • Index of John Drewry's Dances
    Index of John Drewry's Dances DRAFT: Last Revised on October 30, 2018 © Scottish Country Dance Teachers' Association (Canada) Index of John Drewry's Dances FOREWORD John Drewry was born on the 14th of July 1923 in Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. Sadly, he died on the 18th of June 2014 in Aberdeen. He was 90 years old. John's legacy includes a collection of dances that number more than 800, which he bequeathed the copyright to Teachers' Association (Canada) (hereafter referred to as TAC). TAC's first action has been to create a comprehensive list of all dances written by John Drewry. Our second action will be to prepare, for sale, all of the dances in digital format. As you can imagine, this is a huge undertaking with more than 800 dances on the list, so it will take some time. Our aim is have each dance available individually, as part of a collection of dances from a particular source, and finally, as the complete collection. A project of this size and scope does not happen at the hands of only one person. The TAC executive would like to thank everyone who has had a hand in organizing, printing, cross checking, providing missing copies of dances, and of course, all of the typing. We would especially like to thank Betsy Brydon, Barbara Johnston, Anne Miller, Fiona Miller, Paul Miller, Mary Murray, Ron Wallace, Stephen Webb and Vicky Zeltins for their work on this project so far. There will be many more opportunities for more people to get involved as time goes by and requests will go out by email or through TACTalk at the appropriate time.
