International Summer Academy of Baroque Dance 2014: BAROQUE MUSIC AND DANCE FORMS Optional course with Karin Modigh How do you distinguish a sarabande from a passacaille? What is the rhythm and step pattern of a gavotte? Does the bourrée have typical spacing, and how can you after having listened to only a few bars of music know that this is a minuet? In this course we will listen to, move to, talk about and look at music and dance notation to understand what characterizes the most common music and dance forms from the baroque period. Feel free to bring along your favourite recordings, dances and questions! ------------ Karin Modigh received her initial training at the University College of Dance in Stockholm, before embarking on her quest to discover the heart of baroque dance in France under the tutelage of, among others, Marie-Geneviève Massé and Françoise Denieau. Since then, she has pursued an international career, having danced with Corpo Barocco (S. THooft) at opera productions in Karlsruhe, Göttingen and Antwerpen, with the Boston Early Music Festival Dance Ensemble in the US (C. Copeland/C. Fittante), and with Compagnie l’Eventail (M-G Massé) at Opéra de Versailles and Opéra Comique de Paris. She is also the artistic director of Nordic Baroque Dancers, with whom she has appeared at the Drottningholm Court Theatre. She has taught baroque dance at the Stockholm University College of Opera, the Ballet Academy and the University College of Dance. In 2012, Karin Modigh received the Swedish Early Music Award in recognition of her efforts to promote baroque dance in Sweden, and she was also awarded a grant from the Drottningholm Court Theatre, which was presented to her in person by the King and Queen of Sweden. ------------ International Summer Academy of Baroque Dance Löftadalen Conservatory, Gothenburg, 3-9 August 2014 Program to be released and registrations to open by 20 March.
