Nordic Baroque Dancers

www.baroquedancers.se Nordic Baroque Dancers is a Sweden-based company directed by Karin Modigh.

We work with different choreographers and project-based teams in a variety of contexts. Our vision is to nurture and broaden the view of baroque dance, and we are convinced that the 17th and 18th-century dance arts have an intrinsic value, independently of their historical context.

Nordic Baroque Dancers is a Sweden-based company that was founded in 2007 by Karin Modigh. It consists of members with diverse backgrounds and work experience from different dance genres, but with a high level of specialization in dance from the 17th and 18th centuries. Our vision is to nurture and broaden the view of baroque dance by working with different choreographers and project-based teams in a large variety of contexts. Be it productions based on repertoire choreographies, or new creations using the baroque aesthetic as a point of departure, the work is driven by the conviction that the 17th and 18th-century dance arts have an intrinsic value, independently of their historical context.

Oulun vanha musiikki

Thank you to the Oulu Early Music Festival for putting together this video clip from our dance concert last year.
Such a nice collaboration - looking forward to come back!

Excerpts from Pécour's Passacaille d'Armide, with a special homage to Deda Cristina Colonna, and Les Caractères de la Danse by Marie-Geneviève Massé, performed by Noah Hellwig and Karin Modigh.
Oulu Early Music Festival Orchestra under the direction of Peter Spissky.

Näin ihastuttavasti toimi Oulun barokkiorkesterin (OBO) yhteistyö viime vuoden Barokkitanssin taikaa -konsertissa upeiden Peter Spisskyn ja Nordic baroque dancers - Karin Modighin ja Noah Hellwigin kera.

Oulun oma barokkiorkesteri on vuosien aikana soittanut mieleen painuvia konsertteja vanhan musiikin alan eturivin taiteilijoiden kuten viulistien Dimitri Sinkovskin, Peter Spisskyn ja Anton Steckin, tenori Anders J. Dahlin tai tanssija-koreografi Karin Modighin kanssa.

Tänään myös Kalevan yhteisösivuilla on juttu Obosta. Haastattelussa Laura Kangas, joka on 9.2. konsertin konserttimestari. Laura on kouluttautunut barokkiviulistiksi Kreeta-Maria Kentalan, Peter Spisskyn ja Aira-Maria Lehtipuun johdolla. Lauran sanoin: "Tulossa on ehkä yksi hienoimmista projekteista, jossa olen saanut olla mukana!"

Lämpimästi tervetuloa konserttiin!

International Summer Academy of Baroque Dance | Nordic Baroque Dancers

International Summer Academy of Baroque Dance 2020:

THE MAGIC OF THEATRE

“Seven is a captivating number. It has been significant since ancient times, it has a special place in almost every major religion, and it is commonly associated with magical powers.

This will be our seventh year at Löftadalen, and it will be a year devoted to the magic of theatrical dancing. There will be characters that evolve through dancing, and characters that are defined through movement. There will be meticulously choreographed material, and there will be space for improvisation. There will be all sorts of genres, from the highly dramatic action of magicians to the comic and the grotesque of the commedia dell’arte characters, passing by the demi-caractère. “Theatrical dancing” is a vast theme that I have been planning for years, and I am enthusiastically looking forward to sharing it with teachers and students at Löftadalen this summer.

Welcome to contribute to our Summer Academy spirit: sharing and exchanging, cultivating curiosity and open-mindedness, staying focused on the learning process while remaining humble. Welcome to join us in making this a magical seventh year!”

Karin Modigh
Artistic Director of Nordic Baroque Dancers
