The 83rd anniversary of Barbara Sparti's birth

Today, on the 83rd anniversary of her birth, we want to remember Barbara Sparti, to whom we are dedicating the upcoming symposium.

With her untiring commitment, she instilled enthusiasm for historical dance in numerous dancers and dance researchers. With our 2016 conference, we want to pass this enthusiasm on, pursuing dance research and the joy of dancing as she envisioned it. (Photographs by Pawel Mazur and Ilja van de Pavert)

Our Topic 2016

 
Italy and the Dance

Dance in Italy, Italian Dance in Europe, 1400 - 1900
For Barbara Sparti (1932 - 2013)

With our next Symposium we would like to honour Barbara Sparti, one of the leading dance researchers of the 20th century, who died in 2013. In keeping with the central emphasis of her research activities, the highly diverse dance culture of Italy – from the final phase of the Middle Ages to the time of the Risorgimento ‒ is to be the main theme of the Symposium.
