Study day / Quadrilles. Jean-Étienne Despréaux and court entertainments (1790-1820): invention, representation, notation
A study day devoted to the project piloted by Irène Feste, the beneficiary in 2020 of a research and heritage grant in dance, based on a theoretical approach to the sources and the gestural expression of the quadrilles choreographed by Jean-Étienne Despréaux and performed by the nobility at the court of Napoleon I during masked or formal balls.
