Wednesday November 18th 12020
Speakers: Stephen Rowley & Andy Richards
Description
Rose Moresk was an action research project to explore what an early form of English morris dance would look like. Inspired by John Forrest's book 'The History of Morris Dancing 1458-1750, the project brought together academic historians, dance researchers, costume specialists, musicians and a team of fit, agile dancers. The focus is on courtly morris, 1490-1515, using a great variety of sources.
