Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro de Cádiz

American Delsartism
The focus of this article is not on the Delsarte System as taught in France, but rather on the American Delsarte System which derived from Delsarte's work and also included techniques from other sources and independent discoveries. American Delsartism helped create an intellectual climate favourable to the emergence of a new dance art in America. The paper describes the transformation of the Delsarte System, the influences of his students, especi…
Courtly Dance in Seventeenth-Century Spain
The raison d'etre of this outstanding volume is a unique and highly informative text written by avid seventeenth-century Spanish student and accomplished dancer, Juan de Esquivel Navarro. Little is known of author's life beyond that he was born in Seville, that he moved to Madrid, where he lived for several years before returning to city of his birth in 1637, and that he was a dedicated participant in culture of both cities-although never as a ma…

The Delsarte Heritage
Writings about early modern dance in the United States usually mention or discuss in some depth the influence of Franfois Delsarte ( 1811-1871 ) on the art.' In any investigation of his relevance to dance history, however, it is important to distinguish between what was taught in France by Delsarte himselfin his courses and lectures on acting, voice production and aesthetics and what came to be called American Delsartism. This latter was based on…
La escuela bolera

The intellectual world of Genevieve Stebbins
Of the many American exponents of the Delsarte System in the late nineteenth century, Genevieve Stebbins (1857 to at least 1915) has been one of the most important in the context of dance history.1 She investigated, adapted, and further developed the theoretical and practical system of expression that had originated with the nineteenth-century French acting and singing teacher Frangois Delsarte (1811-71) and that was introduced into the United St…
