The form and content of this workshop is informed and inspired by the theory and practice of Florentine architect Filarete c.1400-1469 (“Making a house is like making a dance” ) together with the 1989 publication The Intimate Act of Choreography by Lynne Anne Blom and L. Tarin Chaplin.
Our dance will be taken from the primary source of Domenico da Piacenza, De la Arte di Ballare et Danzare (Pd c. 1450 ), and supportive source material from the EDC publication Sources for Early Dance 1989 D.R Wilson .
