Thus, on the one hand, he solicits Ana Yepes, artistic director and choreographer of the Donaïres Ensemble to complete the teaching of Cécilia Gracio-Moura of French baroque dances, but above all, the repertory of Spanish dances of the 17th century, and, on the other hand, Véronique Daniels, artistic director and choreographer of the company RenaiDanse to teach the repertory of Italian dances of the 15th and 16th centuries. At the end of this encounter, they decide to first confront the results of their research and readings of the sources on the practice of the old school, in the form of work sessions, then to work together on the concordances and differences of the repertories. In 2012, after two years of intense exchanges, they finally decide, while continuing the background discussions, to create a show entitled Concordances. Each of the choreographers of the three companies writes alone or collegially from their respective experiences while leaving room for improvisation by the dancers and the musicians on the “standards” of that time. Argument Let us imagine a dance company of today, accompanied by five timeless troubadours, visiting the dance halls and royal courts of 16th and 17th century Europe. The choreographies of the most illustrious Ballet Masters will, for a passing moment, animate our dancers. At ease in their century, they dance choreographies, and play their repertory of dance music while retaining their own fantasies. Thus they visit, each in its turn, Domenico da Piacenza near the Palazzo Schifanoia (literally, Palace « Disdains Boredom ») of Ferrare, les proteges of Margueritte of Bourgogne’s Court, the festivities of Poitiers and Langres frequented by Thoinot Arbeau, the first court ballets accompanied par Cesare Negri (violinist of King of France Henry III). They understand that the dance steps used in Sevilla and taught by Jaque and Juan de Esquivel in the Iberian peninsula have something to do with those described by Fabritio Caroso or by a French choreographer officiating at Darmstadt in Germany at the beginning of the XVII century or still others admitted into the famous “Gallery of Mirrors” of the Versailles Castle. Thus, this voyage opens the perspective on the evident and rich musical, choreographic and poetic Concordances. Musicians and dancers converse and thrive in the veritable, interdisciplinary Concordances at the heart of these movimenti, ruades, floretas, as well as other improvisations… Compagnie Outre Mesure | Ensemble Donaïres | Renaidanse European Ballet Concordances Première in july 2014 -------------------------------------------- Page 2 sur 10 -------------------------------------------- Distribution Direction of the D on ai r es En sem b le : Ana Yepes Direction of the Compagnie Outre Mesure : Robin Joly Direction of RenaiDanse : Véronique Daniels Concept & Choreographies : Véronique Daniels, Robin Joly & Ana Yepes Musical arrangements : Pascale Boquet Scenic direction : Ana Yepes Lighting creation & Stage manager : Luc Quaglia Costume design: Louise-Alice Véret Costume implementation : Nadia Boissard & Louise-Alice Véret Artists Musicians of the Compagnie Outre Mesure Pascale Boquet • lute & “guiterne” Anne Dumont • sakbut & harpsichord Robin Joly • oboes & recorders Gwinnevire Quenel • singer & recorder Michèle Vandenbroucque • oboes, bassoons & recorder Dancers of the three companies : Jean-Marie Belmont Nadia Boissard Olivier Collin Véronique Daniels • choreographies of XV and XVI century Italian dances Gloria Giordano Robin Joly • choreographies of French Renaissance dances Sarasa Matsumoto Anna Romaní Ana Yepes • choreographies of XVII and XVIII century French and Spanish dances Compagnie Outre Mesure | Ensemble Donaïres | Renaidanse European Ballet Concordances Première in july 2014 -------------------------------------------- Page 3 sur 10 -------------------------------------------- First journey 1.

Compagnie Outre Mesure Musiques, Danses, Théâtres & Art Ménétrier Renaissance Compagnie Outre Mesure were set up in 2000 and comprise professional performers, who promote the Renaissance art of minstrelsy under the musical and choreographical direction of Robin Joly. Minstrels, from the Latin ministerium ‘service’, practised what is now the art of playing music for dancing, or indeed with dancing, and more generally the art of perceiving music in association with other arts (fencing, drama, etc.) and movement. Compagnie Outre Mesure are instrumentalists, singers, dancers, actors, researchers, instrument makers and technicians from a wide variety of backgrounds and careers. Their ensemble of musicians perform in various instrumental and vocal combinations from the consort to the great “band of hautboys”, from solos to “broken consorts”. Compagnie Outre Mesure | Ensemble Donaïres | Renaidanse European Ballet Concordances Première in july 2014 -------------------------------------------- Page 8 sur 10 -------------------------------------------- With over one hundred Renaissance balls in Europe to their credit, Compagnie Outre Mesure are considered to be among the most innovative and popular practitioners of this speciality. Their specific talent is their exploration of the relations between music and choreography. Their work on tempi, dynamics, phrasing and matching music to dance is the foundation for their lively, original and contemporary performance at concerts, shows, ballets and the like. Far from merely reconstructing the Renaissance repertory, Compagnie Outre Mesure produce original works in which their intuitions combine the various repertories (traditional, Baroque, contemporary) with actual practice, making their approach unequalled in the world of early dance and music. In their laboratory of the arts, Compagnie Outre Mesure direct their research and practice along four paths: Original performances (commissioned by festivals, cities, auditoria, etc.) Heritage performances (historical sites) Educational work (conservatories, schools, voluntary associations, etc.) COM label publications (discs, dance lists, etc.) Compagnie Outre Mesure receive grants from the Vendée département council, the Pays de la Loire regional council, and the regional directorate of the Ministry of Culture. Robin Joly As a performing musician and choreographer, Robin Joly brings a comprehensive approach to all his work: studies, research, teaching and stagecraft. Training: Robin studied at the conservatoires in Tours and La Roche-sur-Yon, gaining four Diplômes d’Études Musicales and First Prize in the region. He has studied in succession under Jean-Pierre Nicolas, Sophie Toussaint, Robin Troman, Denis Raisin-Dadre and Claire Michon for the recorder; Michèle Vandenbroucque and Jérémie Papasergio for the Renaissance shawm and bassoon; Christine Asso for the oboe; Marie-Anne Pottier and Pascale Boquet for chamber music, diminution and improvisation; and Sophie Rousseau and Carles Mas for dance. Research: Robin holds a two-year master’s degree (arts, literature, languages for research purposes, Renaissance speciality: birth of modern Europe) from the François Rabelais university in Tours. At the Centre d’Études Supérieures de la Renaissance in Tours, he is currently writing a doctoral thesis under the supervision of Philippe Vendrix entitled “Towards a definition of ‘ground rules’ for interpreting dances with the purpose of performing them on the basis of the musical and choreographical descriptions in Orchésographie and an analysis of the four-part scores published in Europe from 1530 to 1589 (date of the first impression of Orchésographie by Thoinot Arbeau [Jehan Tabourot] from the press of Jean Desprez in Langres [Lengres])”. At the same time, he is a cofounding member of the intangible cultural heritage office OPCI, with Michel Colleux and others. This non-profit service body is available to help all organisations seeking recognition for witnesses to memory. Teaching: Robin holds the state diploma in music teaching, subject: early instruments. Driven by a desire to transmit and educate, he set up “minstrelsy” workshops at the regional conservatoire (CRR) in Tours. He has been teaching French Renaissance recreational dance and the art of minstrelsy since 2002. That year he was asked to take on the teaching of French Renaissance recreational dance at the CRR in Nantes. He is also regularly appointed to examination panels and consults on teaching projects (CEFEDEM Nantes, CRR Rennes, etc.). Stage: Robin performs with groups of various sizes, such as in a duo with the organist Pierre Compagnie Outre Mesure | Ensemble Donaïres | Renaidanse European Ballet Concordances Première in july 2014 -------------------------------------------- Page 9 sur 10 -------------------------------------------- Cambourian since 1999, and under the direction of Hervé Niquet and Hugo Reyne. He dances and plays recorder, shawm and bassoon in festivals throughout Europe and in reputed theatres. With his strong interest in traditional music and dance, he does all he can to popularise them in balls, meetings, concerts, spectacles and recordings. As a musician, dancer and teacher of Renaissance minstrelsy (relations between music and dance), he learnt the trade with the Compagnie Maître Guillaume (Sophie Rousseau) from 1995 to 2002. Now he is regularly invited by various groups, notably the Ensemble Doulce Mémoire (Denis Raisin-Dadre). When a number of enthusiasts founded Compagnie Outre Mesure in 2000, they asked him to take on its musical and choreographical directorship, and he now spends most of his time combining for them his talents in Renaissance music, dance and minstrelsy. RenaiDanse Founded in 1997 by Véronique Daniels, the dance company RenaiDanse is an association dedicated to the promotion, the practice, research into and teaching of dances from the 15th and 16th centuries. Based in Switzerland, RenaiDanse have appeared in many countries performing dance shows, involving the public in participatory balls, giving short workshops and masterclasses. Holland, Switzerland, Poland, Belgium, Ireland, Great Britain, Spain, Austria, Germany, Finland, Iceland, Italy, Slovenia… The company's activities are diverse, ranging from historical dance performances to balls with audience participation and educational workshops. Their repertoire is directly taken from original texts : Domenico da Piacenza (before 1455), Guglielmo Ebreo da Pesaro (1463), books on basse danses from the end of the 15th century, Thoinot Arbeau (1589), Fabritio Caroso (1581,1600), Cesare Negri (1602), etc. Véronique Daniels Véronique Daniels graduated in Early Music from the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. She studied folk dances, English country dances and French renaissance dances with teachers of the Atelier de la danse populaire de Paris. Andrea Francalanci introduced her to the world of Italian dances of the Renaissance. During meetings with Andrea and Barbara Sparti, Véronique pursued research which led her to address the problems of tempo relationships in the Italian balli of the fifteenth century. Through her musical training, her research, her knowledge of dance, her rigorous ethic and her daily practice, Véronique Daniels is an expert in the worlds of both the dance and music of the Renaissance. As founder of the company RenaiDanse, Véronique puts on her own creations in which music and text mix together to accompany the movements of the dance. She is often asked to collaborate in projects outside RenaiDanse which she enjoys doing. Véronique leads workshops and teaches the dances of the Renaissance as well as historical music notation at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.
