About the Talk
“Dramaturgy of Dance in the Comédie-Ballet: A Laboratory between Ballet de Cour and Opera”
Hubert Hazebroucq shares his research into Molière and the comédie-ballet through a lecture demonstration. He will discuss dance styles and genres used in the intermèdes of Moliére's plays, collaborations between dancing masters, playwrights, and composers to create a specific spectacle, and the many diverse relations between the ballet and the plot. Danced performances will include virtuosic ballroom and theatrical solos pour Homme, including the Sarabande de Beauchamps, the Sarabande Espagnole of Favier, and a Chaconne d'Arlequin.
