2️⃣ What surprised you the most about the story of the Sarabande?
I think what amazed me is , why it is banned for it is wild and scandalous, may be because of how slow and control and deepen of movement while tune in sync with the music, created some kind of emotion and lead to relationships that prohibit in that Era ?
3️⃣ Do you think learning the history of rhythm changes the way dancers approach musicality? Why or why not?
I think, yes, learning history eg. Flu pandemic in 1918 teach us similar thing about COVID 19 pandemic. Every event has their own history and peoples around it tales.
For dances, learn history of dance , is to learn about people way of life, the music expression , the rhythm likely come from the way of life, the dance is the communication and the expression of people and their culture. To learn the history of rhythm teaches us about how it originated and evolved and to feel the music as though we are living in and dancing among them.
