Ma Joye et ma Plaisance
The roads that meandered from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance are not the same as they are today, and our shoes aren't always comfortable on them...
The work in progress presented here, by choreographers and musicians, strives to be as faithful as possible to the choreography of the treatises concerned, as well as to the associated scores, succinct as they may be. It's up to all of us to bring out their great richness and subtlety.
Choreography: Christine Grimaldi & Catherine Ingrassia
Music: Margaux and David Zubeldia

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).
Christine Grimaldi Trained as a classical, then contemporary dancer, she danced under the direction of Jérôme Robbins, Félix Blaska and alongside Carolyn Carlson and Dominique Bagouet. She founded her own company in Bordeaux in 1988. In 1994, she turned her attention to early dance, working with Béatrice Massin and Christine Bayle on Baroque, and Barbara Sparti and Bruna Gondoni on Renaissance. Since 1999, she has specialized in 15th- and 16th-century dance. In 2012, she founded the Tracervatoire ressources pour la danse savante et un patrimoine vivant, a laboratory for research and transmission through workshops, courses, performances and conferences in France and abroad. As a choreographer, she uses material from another era to create a unique style in today's dance landscape.
