  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Scottish Country Dance Kentucky Dance Institute, July 19 – 25, 2020 Harry Khamis
    Scottish Country Dance Kentucky Dance Institute, July 19 – 25, 2020 Harry Khamis PRELIMINARY NOTES In Scottish Country Dance (SCD) the top of the set is where the music is located, the bottom of the set is at the opposite end. For most SCDs, the dancers are in a 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-couple longways set facing their partner; mens’ left shoulders are toward the top and womens’ right shoulders are toward the top. The couples are numbered from the top: 1, 2, 3, … . Some SCDs are in a four couple square set formation, the man and woman in a couple stand beside each other with woman on man’s right: 1st couple has their back to the music, 2nd couple is to their left with right shoulders toward the music, 3rd couple faces 1st couple, and 4th couple faces 2nd couple (note: the numbering starts at the top and proceeds clockwise around the square). Generally, there are only three basic dance rhythms used in SCDing: reel, jig, and strathspey. In each case there are four counts for each bar (or measure) of music. Generally, the distinction among the three types of music can briefly be given as follows: · reel: quick, four even counts · jig: slightly longer time between counts 1 and 2 · Strathspey: slow, four even counts In the SCD dance titles below, the type of dance and formation are given in abbreviated form. So, for example, 32J3 = 32-bar jig for 3 couples, 32R2 = 32-bar reel for 2 couples, 5x32R = 32-bar reel played 5 times through, 32S3 = 32-bar strathspey for 3 couples, etc.

  • History of Cornish Dance and Its Origins
    History of Cornish Dance Folk dance is more than just a collection of steps movement and music; it is a form of human expression and its essence lies within its community role and social context rather than purely commercial or artistic interests. Sharp was riding the crest of European romantic nationalism when he collected, and mediated, folk dances as an expression of Englishness in the first quarter of the twentieth century. At much the same time there was a parallel, but Celtic, revivalist movement in Cornwall. As well as identifying with the revival of the Cornish language and links with the other Celtic communities this movement was also pro-active in recording and promoting folk customs, including dance. The story of folk dance in Cornwall, from medieval roots, through narratives of the nineteenth Century folklorists, the activity of the Celtic revivalists and on to the present day, is a fascinating one that reflects the distinct cultural profile of Cornwall. A tantalising glimpse of medieval dance in Cornwall is provided a twelfth Century Cornish / Latin vocabulary which was written to aid the learning of Latin. It is a short vocabulary of common words people were expected to be familiar with and includes the translation of the Cornish lappior as saltator and lappiores as saltatrix; male and female dancer respectively. Lapyeor continued to be used as a dialect term for dancer in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and by the early twentieth century was associated with step dancing. It is poignant to learn that the small boys employed as surface workers in the tin industry were called lapyeors because one of their first tasks was to aid separation of the ore as it was washed by “dancing” on it ankle deep in the cold water.

With their faces painted with red ochre and minium [two reddening agents] , they circled about the fire, to the rhythmic scraping of grooved sticks. They kept their feet together, their elbows out, their shoulders hunched, and thus, they hopped round and round.
