"Dance, Performance and Politics" (Dance history)

[Ondine]

This is far more interesting than it perhaps sounds at first!

 

For dance history lovers.

 

Dance, Performance and Politics

A Study of how Choreography developed in Court Ballets to meet changing political needs.

A talk by Margaret M. McGowan † (1931-2022)

We are very sad to announce that Professor Margaret M. McGowan, CBE, Fellow of the British Academy and Research Professor at the University of Sussex, passed away on 16 March 2022.

Her talk, which she had left ready to be delivered, has been kindly recorded by Dr Jennifer Nevile of the University of South Wales, Sydney, Australia – you can find it below.

Very sad to hear of the death of this esteemed scholar.  She assessed my Master's thesis many moons ago.
