“Stenochoreographies”: a few words on the French school of ballet during the “decadent” period”
by Pierre Darde
We will analyze what is meant by “the French school of ballet” through notation systems adapted to this technique, such as the stenochoreographies by Arthur Saint-Léon (1821-1870), or Antonine Meunier (1877-1972), which will both be compared to the system devised by Vladimir Stepanov (1866-1896).
“D.E.G.A.S. (danse écriture du geste et son approche systémique), Dance, Systems, and Writing Gestures”
by Christophe Duveau-Villéger
This session will present a selection of documents (scores and pedagogical notebooks) about Wilfride Piollet’s “flexible barres” (barres flexibles), which sought to replace the systematic use of the mirror and the barre in class by the development of greater body awareness about gravity and the interconnectedness of the various points of the body.
