Ricardo Barros: Baroque Dance
A lecture demonstration with Barbara Segal
and Nicolette Moonen violin
The BrazilianPortuguese dancer and musician Ricardo Barros has an extraordinary ability to bring the vanished world of Baroque dance vividly to life, drawing onhis training as a harpsichordist and his research into dance as an expression of the passions in an equivalent to rhetorical speech. He is joined by the violinist Nicolette Moonen and dancer Barbara Segal to explore how choreography interacted with music and how dance was an expression of the court culture of the period.
