| The Accordions Worldwide news for March 6th 1998 included an item telling how German accordionist Dorothée Reuther had become so entranced by Morris dancing whilst living in England that on returning to Dresden she resolved to form her own team. Morris is one of most quintessentially English forms of dancing, and it would be interesting to know how successful Dorothée was in forming her team. If anyone reading this knows, please let me know; email robaccord5@hotmail.com ACCORDIONISTS WANTED! - GERMANY Contributed by Andrea Rautenberg During her stay in England Dorothée Reuther (Dresden) joined a Morris-Dance Group and had so much fun, she now wants to set up a group in Dresden, Germany but needs accordionists! Morris-Dance involves groups of six men, wearing white shirts and trousers, decorated with ribbons, and bells on their legs. They stand in a two-by-three formation and begin a vigorous, athletic dance, moving up and down, back and forth, gesturing with big white handkerchiefs while performing spectacular leaps. Dorothée is looking for interested accordionists from Dresden to join the group. There is a similar group in Leipzig and there are plans to organise a joint workshop in June. Morris-Dance is "a chance to perform in the street, to show off, to be loud, silly or raucous, to violate normal standards of behaviour and not only get away with it but be applauded for it." Interested accordionists email Dorothée at: dr12@rcs.urz.tu-dresden.de |
