Thoinot Arbeau's Orchesographie: EMS 15 September

[doversoul1]

Choreographer and dance historian Darren Royston joins Lucie Skeaping to explore the 16th-century dancing manual "Orchesographie", published in 1589 in Langres by a French cleric who went under the pseudonym of Thoinot Arbeau. The manual is in the form of a dialogue between Arbeau himself and a fictional pupil by the name of Capriol, and the dances and music therein became familiar all across Europe.

Good programme. Real ear-catcher. An expert who carries his learning lightly and engagingly.

.. An expert who carries his learning lightly and engagingly.

and a usual presenter who unlike one I could mention, does not try to show they know more than the invited expert - it is programmes like these that give me hope that R3 may be salvageable from the morass of ratings chasing.
