Love and dance as transformative powers
Margaret M Mcgowan, Margaret Μ McgowanARTICLETextual Practice2019
This essay attempts to show how thinking about dance furthers our understanding of Renaissance love. It explores visions of dancing at court, manifestations both of innocent pleasure and of the desire to provoke love. An important focus is the dance – la volta – which brought male and female dancers into close physical proximity allowing the poet who recreates its lively movement to transmit feelings of desire, of transport and transformation suc…

The Convergence of Dancing and Drawing Practices in the Reign of Louis XIV: Costume Designs from the Edmond de Rothschild Collection in the Louvre
Open AccessMickaël Bouffard, Jérôme De La Gorce et al.ARTICLEDance Research2016
This article takes as its starting point the large corpus of costume drawings contained in the Edmond de Rothschild collection in the Louvre. This corpus represents a significant fraction of the works from the 17 th and 18 th centuries built up by the collector Claude Pioche du Rondray with the intention of publishing an illustrated history of French spectacle. An attempt is made here to set aside the view that choreographic images from the Ancie…
A Multi-Layered Analysis of Dancing in Eighteenth-Century French Opera
Open AccessFrançoise Dartois-Lapeyre, Margaret M Mcgowan et al.ARTICLEDance Research2015
This article offers an analysis of the contribution of dance to the success of French opera in the eighteenth century. It explores its development as it responded to the needs of music and song; its capacity to blend with evolving opera forms fitting in and commenting upon the décor itself; and draws out the inventiveness of successive generations of performers and choreographers who ensured that the works of Lully, Campra and Rameau continued to…

They achieved a similar effect of grace and even enchantment, wrote Brantome, when they performed the passemeno d’Italie which, though faster, required the same majestic pose, gliding movements and solemn steps, for princess Marguerite – beautiful, graceful and dignified – excelled in these slow dances. Not that she could not outperform most other ladies of the Court in sprightlier measures, if she so wished! Brantome had placed this image of a d…

The town of Munster, well known for the quantity of its churches and historical monuments, ‘one of the most beautiful among all the beautiful cities in Germany’, in 1998 celebrated the 300th anniversary of the Peace of Westphalia.

Ballets for the Bourgeois
Open AccessMargaret M Mcgowan, Margaret Μ McgowanARTICLEDance Research2001
The ballet de cour, as its name implies, was essentially an aristocratic genre danced by kings, queens and courtiers for their own entertainment. It flourished as long as princes continued to rank dancing as the highest accomplishment, then it was transformed.1 Such a view, though generally accurate, does not give a complete account. Danced entertainments in early modern Europe extended beyond the confines of courts; they invaded the public theat…
