Barvalipe University for ERIAC- Romani Dance History by Dr. Rosemary Cisneros - November 17, 2020

Description

This lecture will offer an overview of Romani Dance history exploring the multi-faceted traditions, innovations and influences of Romani Dance around the globe. We will focus on influential Roma dancers, companies, and performances, and also explore grassroots performers and choreographers. While there won’t be enough time to have a comprehensive account of all Romani dance, what the lecture will strive for is to pull together mini vignettes that will offer the student insight into the diverse background of Romani dance history. A wide range of materials, including digitised film and photographs, artworks, graphics, dance notation and texts as well as new materials created especially for the lecture, will be used in a creative fashion. The lecture will be engaging and allow participants to have time to reflect and define what Romani Dance means to them.
