Renaissance

After a training in classical ballet Dorothée Wortelboer specialized in Renaissance and Baroque dance, the dance styles from the 15th until well into the 18th century. She works as a dance tutor, choreographer and performing artist and is the artistic leader both of the professional ensemble Folia and the amateur dance group Fiori di Folia. Dorothée has been doing – and never stops doing – extensive research into the source material extant for the Renaissance and Baroque period and has written dance manuals and produced CDs in close cooperation with a number of excellent early musicians.

... naît en 1985 de la rencontre de danseurs et de musiciens, issus de différentes formations : musique ancienne, danse baroque et contemporaine, musiques et danses traditionnelles. La recherche en danse et en musique associée à une volonté de création contemporaine nourrit la dynamique de l'ensemble. Notre formation s'apparente au broken consort, un ensemble de voix et d'instruments divers nous permettant d'explorer des couleurs variées.
