The dance master’s handwritten notebook contains unique material: a canon of dance figures and instructions for an exhibition with a pike; as well as signatures and general descriptions of his students, ballet plots and music associated with dancing. Reproduced for the first time are facsimile images of all the dance-related material, with transcriptions and translations of the ballet plots and instructions for the pike exhibition. The dance master is revealed as an active choreographer and performer, with strong ties to the French court musical establishment, and interested in fireworks and alchemy.Drama and Theatre in Early Modern Europe8.DanceDanceStudy and teachingBelgiumBrusselsDance.DanceStudy and teaching.792.80949332Jennifer Nevile1607659NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910816330803321Footprints of the Dance3934024UNINA
