  • Eve of Kupalo
    Gordon Gordey, Director and Dancemaker Ukrainian Canadian Dance Works Created for The Shumka Dancers, Canada’s Professional Ukrainian Dance Company Eve of Kupalo - a Midsummer’s Night Mystery Masque Conceived and Directed by Gordon Gordey Choreographed by Dave Ganert Additional Choreography by John Pichlyk and Tasha Orysiuk Original Music Composed and Arranged by Andriy Shoost Sets and Costumes designed by Maria Levitska Additional Costumes designed by Oksana Paruta and Robert Shannon Masks created by Randall Fraser In January 2007, I created a concept and began writing the dance libretto for Eve of Kupalo - a Midsummer’s Night Mystery Masque as a contemporary Ukrainian folk dance dramatic narrative ballet with video projection. Over the decades I had seen numerous Ukrainian dance companies stage performances based upon the rituals of Kupalo and the midsummer solstice. In 30 years with the Shumka Dancers I too performed, from time to time, in dances based upon Kupalo, the first such performance taking place in the early 1970’s. The performances I saw and those I performed in seemed to become locked in a very standard formula. I could predict what the choreography was going to be in Kupalo before I even entered the theatre. The dance would typically start with female dancers weaving across the stage in a version of a chain style folk dance (Vesnianka or Chorovod) and move on to a dance where female dancers would begin to weave wreathes, which usually with the assistance of a stage lighting change depicting the passage of time, resulted in the wreathes magically becoming completed. These wreathes would be symbolically placed into a stream which was nothing more than placing the wreathes upon the stage floor.

Ballets de cour - This is a fundamental entry for lots of dance history Dance is many things to many people, detailed at length in this article - Competition is an important aspect, that drives development and innovation and lots else. Improvisation provides an experience of body in which it initiates, creates and probes playfully its own physical and semantic potential. Raise a tent of shelter now though every thread is torn. The notation of a dance takes place in the studio as the work is being taught to a group of dancers who don't already know it. Northampton: Contact Editions, The Workbench. Therefore, this way of approaching improvisation exemplifies the possibility which of course is not the only one of not necessarily conceiving or addressing movement as a synonymous of mobilization in the sense brought by Sloterdijk , but, on the contrary, as the opening of spaces of indeterminacy and the suspension of the desire to control the outcomes of processes. One afternoon, before a meeting there, Francis Mason, the dance writer, and Michael Lland, a ballet master for ABT, were lamenting the fate of Balanchine ballets that had vanished from the repertory. The DNB process of planning notation has been opened up, again as part of a new approach to its structure and staff roles. DeepDyve Pro.

Long University of Kentucky Press Lexington 1968 Copyright © 1968 University of Kentucky Press Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 68-12969 INTRODUCTION It is the purpose of this volume to present some significant examples of the use of music in English dramatic and semidramatic works composed and presented between the years 1550 and 1650, a span of a century which for this limited purpose shall serve as a temporal definition of the English Renaissance. The bulk of scholarship devoted to the subject in the past has been limited largely to the works of one playwright, Shakespeare, and to one semidramatic form, the court masque. Monumental as Shakespeare was and is, and magnificent as the court masques were, they did not encompass completely the versatility with which music was employed for dramatic purposes during the period, in the works of lesser play­ wrights or in the elaborate "entertainments," the interludes, the pageants, the folk-plays, and other more-or-less dramatic productions that, in intent and practice, merged one into another to defy formal categorization.

  • 'Ben Jonson and Masquing Culture at the Jacobean Court'
    1 Dr Peter Sillitoe, ShaLT Collection Enhancement Report No. 4 for the V&A, Theatre and Performance Department (January 2012) ‘Ben Jonson and Masquing Culture at the Jacobean Court’ Although terms such as ‘Renaissance drama’ and ‘early modern theatre’ rightly evoke a sense of ‘public’ theatre (whether outdoors or indoors) it is important to remember that theatre in the period meant far more than the drama of Shakespeare or Middleton as seen at the Globe or the Blackfriars. Indeed, one of the most important forms of theatre was the display and performative nature of court ritual and ceremony. ‘Court entertainments’, then, might include civic entries of the monarch into a city such as London. Similarly, ‘progresses’ (as the court travelled the country and was entertained at aristocratic houses) form another type of elite performance in the Elizabethan, Jacobean, and Caroline periods. However, once James I came to the throne in 1603, after the death of Elizabeth I, it is generally accepted that the early modern English court became more centralised, focussing attention and time more exclusively at Whitehall Palace. This theory is to some extent consolidated by the startling growth in popularity of the court masque in the Jacobean period (the reign of James I, 1603-1625). To summarise, the court masque was a type of performance and was influenced by court theatre on the continent, particularly Italy and Spain. The masque consisted of a series of dances, spectacles, and lavish scenery, costume and display. Although it should not be seen in any way as a kind of precursor to opera, the use of music and dance does allow a comparison at least.
