Music Day Concerts: Fête de la Musique

Since the 80s, every 21st of June, the crowds flow into the streets for a feast for ears. The Fête de la Musique aka Music Day emerged from France and is now celebrated worldwide. All Music Day events are FREE, yet reservations strongly recommended. Become a member and be the first informed of our events. If you are not yet a member of the Institut français d'Ecosse, we invite you to join. Already a member? Book your place early!

About The Fête de la Musique
Created in 1982 the Fête de la musique is now an established tradition in France (and many other places around Europe and the Francophone world) taking place on the 21st of June. On that very special day, musicians of diverse genres come out onto the streets, the squares, and the cafés to perform for free.

• Elír Trio
  ELÍR was formed in Glasgow’s vibrant and eclectic music scene. Featuring Niamh MacKaveney from Scotland (vocals & fiddle), David Lombardi from Italy (fiddle) and Jean Damei from France (guitar), the trio have taken influences from each country and merged it with a backbone in different musical traditions to produce a unique sound. For more information about the trio, visit the Official Website of Elír Trio.

• cosamentale
  cosamentale began in 2015 as a solo project by the French artist Fabien Pages, before growing into a duo involving Dawn Ng, a PhD student in French and Francophone literature at the Université de Paris VIII, who has also given us a talk about her research at an interdisciplinary seminar, “Migrations, migrations des personnes, migrations des idées, migrations des images” back in November 2015. The duo has performed in gigs in Paris, in Nice and in Geneva ever since. Their performances consist in a unique audio-visual experience with screen projection.

Quadrille Classes at the Institut français d'Écosse

Come and learn quadrille dance with Talitha MacKenzie, a teacher of Historical Dance & Dance Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. All levels are welcome!

The Franco-Scottish dances so popular in Edinburgh during the Regency period are enjoying a revival – why not join us in celebrating this?

Although similar to Scottish Country Dance, Quadrilles are danced as four couples in a square so that each set has its own ‘community’. Footwork is not overly complicated—the focus is on social interaction. Ballroom dancing has never been so much fun!

Dance your way to fitness without even noticing the effort, while your brain gets its share of exercise remembering the sequence of figures. As the instructions were written in French, you can practice your language skills at the same time.

All levels welcome, no experience necessary; you may come on your own or with a partner. Comfortable clothing and soft, flexible shoes, with low (or no) heel, recommended.

About Talitha MacKenzie
Talitha MacKenzie, who has been studying Historical Dance since the early 1970s, has a degree in Musicology from the New England Conservatory of Music, where she performed Renaissance and Baroque dance and music with Julia Sutton’s Collegium Terpsichore. Currently teaching Historical Dance & Dance Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Glasgow, she has been reviving and reconstructing Nathaniel Gow’s Quadrilles from the original scores published in Edinburgh two hundred years ago.

How to enrol
A series of 10 Fortnightly Classes are £70 (£50 for members of the Edinburgh Quadrille Society &/or L'Institut Français); alternatively, you may pay £7/£5 at the door.
Book now by going to https://www.sonasmultimedia.co.uk/

Writing & Criticism Workshop: Dana Rufulo

The Institut français d'Ecosse is delighted to have Dr Phil Dana Rufulo, who will be holding the second day of her a writing and criticism workshop at our premises. The workshop is FREE and open to all with very limited space. We encourage the participants to book early. Become a member and be the first informed of our events. If you are not yet a member of the Institut français d'Ecosse, we invite you to join.

About Dr Dana Rufulo
Holding an MA in theatre theory and criticism and a doctorate in theatre studies from the University of Wisconsin at Madison (USA), as well as a DESS in Art Therapy with special emphasis on Drama Therapy from the University of Luxembourg in conjunction with the University of Paris V, Dr Phil Dana Rufolo is the founding director of the Theatre Research Institute of Europe (aka TRIE, pronounced “try”). The special feature of TRIE is that it comprises a performance wing called TRIE Justice.

During her prolific career, Dr Rufulo has published numerous academic articles on theatre and on drama therapy. Her articles on her theory of “Aesthetic Empathy” received literary prizes in the country of Luxembourg which has classified her as a national writer; her writings are stored at the Centre National de Littérature in Mersch, Luxembourg for future researchers.

Performer, poet, and short story and play writer, Dufulo has seen her plays Hurt and Dignified produced at the 2007 European Capital of Culture, and her narrative poetry book “I am Viola da Gamba” staged at the Conservatoire de Luxembourg in 2012.

Since 2016, Dana Rufolo is also the editor-in-chief of the London-based theatre magazine Plays International & Europe, where she has excelled in keeping the classic tradition of the hand-held magazine alive by championing the individuality of the critic-correspondents who write for the magazine by inviting talented theatre critics to develop their own personal voice.

About the workshop
Dana Rufulo will be holding a two-day workshop that focuses on:

• Developing the ability to look, listen, observe, interpret, understand, and analyze a performance,
• Developing the skills to write about that performance in a way that conveys a sense of its uniqueness, attributes, and shortfalls.

This workshop is geared towards college undergraduates and first-year graduate students majoring in theatre and the performance arts, journalism, or critical writing studies. It can also be attractive for members of the general public who have an interest in and/or training in theatre and the performance arts.
The workshop will be used is intended to be an eye-opening, transformative experience for the participants. It is intended to welcome them to the world of performance criticism where they learn that their own personal and emotional reactions are secondary to understanding performance in terms of the criteria that control its artistic form.
At the end of the first day, participants will have gained a significant amount of knowledge and insight in respect to how to look at performance as an art form.
At the end of the second day, they should have absorbed elementary notions of how to write a critical article about performance.

The nature of the Socratic method of learning requires the active participation of the audience, therefore, the number of places for the workshop are limited.

Suggested readings

• The Empty Space by Peter Brook. Originally published in 1968, published by Penguin Modern Classic in 2008.
• The Poetics by Aristotle. Any version, best is the translation by SH Butcher.
