Saturday 21: FIRST STEPS IN BAROQUE DANCE (Live)

Start the day in style, and more precisely in Baroque style! As an apology for asking you to look at your computer for the rest of day, here is an historically informed stretching session where you will learn the basics of French baroque dance, with the live advice of dancer and choreographist Pierre-François Dollé.

After several experiences in companies in Germany and England, Pierre-François returns to France and specialises in ancient dances, including “Belle Dance”, French Renaissance and dances of the early nineteenth century. He co-founded the Cie Fantaisies Baroques, with which he continues his work of creation, transmission and research on historical treaties. Pierre François is as well a choreographer for several dance or theatre companies, being invited in Poland, Austria, United States or Japan to create, using the ancient dance material in contemporary pieces.
