Join us for Homage to Lafayette - part of USA250 national celebration of the homage to the Marquis de Lafayette, whose assistance was so important in the War for Independence.
This event will include a performance, and the opportunity for the audience to participate in the dances under the direction of Ms. Julia Bengtsson, (Co-director of NYBDC) and other members of the New York Baroque Dance Company, Claudio Caverni, Adelle Lorraine and Patrick Pride.
The work of Alan Jones, choreographer and reconstructor, with Julia Bengtsson, also contributing reconstructions, will feature Francis Johnson’s New Cotillions and other popular dances. Their research was supported by a grant from the French Ministry of Culture through The Centre National de la Danse. We are also joined by Matthieu Peyregne de Motier, a collateral descendant of Lafayette, who will speak about his ancestor and the presence of the family in the United States.
