15 medieval dance re-enactments - CD of 15 dances
Medieval Dance Workshops: Volume 1
Les Ateliers de la Danse Médiévale, a new complementary collection to "La Danse Médiévale", is designed to provide new music and dance proposals for those wishing to recreate medieval dances. It is also a working tool for our entire team, enabling us to put into practice the hypotheses put forward by musicological, choreographic, organological and philological research. Practising dances and putting them into practice always provides many food for thought, and often leads to a better understanding of the knowledge passed down to us by our ancestors. It's up to you and us to continue this fascinating research together.

Authors' biographies
Catherine Ingrassia In 1982, she carried out her first research on medieval dance for her master's degree and doctorate in Art History on the iconography of dance in the Middle Ages at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Her encounter with Léon Pressouyre, Claude Gaignebet and Andrea Francalanci transformed her studies into a passion; her research and regular practice led her to perfect her skills and discover many different dance techniques. In 2000, she set up the Morescarole association to guide dancers, musicians and circus performers through her research, experimenting with medieval dance and performance. Her approach to reading dance texts and images brings this repertoire to life, while remaining faithful to the sources. Catherine is a member of the International Dance Council (c/o UNESCO).
