A tribute to Francine Lancelot
A dancer, choreographer, pedagogue and researcher, Francine Lancelot played a major part in the French rediscovery of 17th century ‘belle danse’.
This production is an invitation to navigate between a selection of her choreographies (La Gavotte et ses doubles, Les Caracthères de la danse), to discover the repertoire she admired so: ball dances (Pécour’sPassepied, Feuillet’s La Patelotte…) as well as theatre dances (Pécour’s Le Rigaudon des vaisseaux).
‘Francine initiated me to the belle danse; she guided me through my work as a choreographer.
Together, we gave dancing lectures and co-signed a number of choreographies. I had the priviledge to be her assistant right from the early stages of Atys and through all its revivals. This event, planned with her in mind, is a humble way to share our dues to this Fair Lady.’
