Burg Rothenfels am Main

 

Balken Startseite 2020

Under the motto "research dance - dance research", dancers, lovers of dance and scholars from all over the world come together to discuss, dance, gain inspiration and make new contacts.

        • Lectures present the current state of research.
        • Workshops give an opportunity to try out new dance styles and reconstructions.
        • Compact performances show current artistic interpretations.
        • Dance evenings and a celebratory ball provide a diversity of new contacts.
        • Sharing life together in the castle enables intensive days of encounter.

ActaLaurisActaLauris, a Spanish online journal specialised on various aspects of the Renaissance culture has published a new call for papers. The upcoming issue is dedicated to Barbara Sparti (1932 - 2013) one of the most influential researchers in 15th- and 16th-century dance. After our last symposium in 2016 dedicated to Barbara, we are happy to see that various other organisations continue the efforts to keep the memory of her and her research alive.
