http://rogovoy.com/news1060.html

Extractions: It's almost a cliche at this point that Mark Morris is the most musical of choreographers. His company often performs with live musicians, as they do this week at Jacob's Pillow with fellows from the Tanglewood Music Center, and he is alleged to sometimes choreograph dancers with a score in hand. And there's no doubt that many of Morris's dances pay literal tribute to the music, sometimes even acting it out, as if the dancers were notes on a staff, directly responding to the live or recorded sounds. But Morris is more than just the literal interpreter of music. His dances are also some of the most narrative works of contemporary choreographers, certainly as seen in the program running this week at the Pillow. Not narrative necessarily in the sense of telling a linear story, but certainly more narrative, or more concrete, than the usual abstractions parlayed by many modern dance companies. Morris's dances themselves seem as rooted in the reality of people's lives (people portrayed by dancers, in itself not something to necessarily take for granted in modern dance, especially in a season in which we've seen a lot of animal-like dancing) as much as they are rooted to the ground, with Morris's trademark, heavy footed dances, based seemingly on the way Morris himself trods the world.

Cotswold Morris Dancing Cheat Sheet
Downloadable dance instructions for your Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)

Extractions: Version 41: Summaries of 67 dances, 11 aliases and 11 traditions. (Formats: to read on Palm Pilot to print or to read on-line It is a compact set of instructions for a number of Cotswold Morris Dances (a type of traditional English performance folk dancing) that I made as reminders for myself. I have put it on the WWW lest it is of use or of interest to anyone else. The notes are fairly detailed for their length but do not have precise stylistic comments or timings because I wanted to keep them small enough to be read quickly as one gets up to dance (which I later found also enabled them to mostly fit on the screen of a Palm Pilot ). I make no guarantees as to the accuracy (these were all written down from life not from canonical reference books) and, anyway, there are many variations in how different teams dance particular dances (especially the Upton-upon-Severn Stick Dance!). Lest you want more detail, I have also put my Cotswold Morris Dance Detailed Notes The most convenient form in which to read it in a hurry is from an old fashioned paper print out. Here it is for download If you want to print it out. For compactness it is best to print it in a fairly small font, double column and

http://www.dirtynelson.com/linen/feature/64morris.html

Extractions: The Merry Mighty Morris by Pamela Murray Winters In the village of Long Ashton, on the edge of Bristol, England, Paul Woods lives among green fields where cows lean over the fence to sniff at the pineapple sage bushes in his garden. He and his wife, Sandra, share their home with a number of small animals, some living and some ceramic. The ceramic ones, collected on his travels, parade across his mantel. All of them play melodeons, a testament to their owner's love of music. Most work days, Woods instructs other University of Bristol librarians in the mysteries of CD-ROM technology, the internet, and other modern practices. He is never at work on May Day. Instead, he rises at 4:50 a.m., dons the garb of his brotherhood, and ties straps of jingle bells around his calves. And precisely at daybreak, he and the other members of the Bristol Morris Men greet the sun and the summer with the peculiar steps and turns of a half-dozen centuries. Great Britain has well over 500 morris teams, or sides, with perhaps 5,000 to 7,500 dancers, according to Tom Keays, creator of the frequently asked questions file (FAQ) for an Internet group of the ancient art. The latest edition of the American Morris Newsletter directory lists about 150 sides in the United States and Canada. Co-editor Allen Dodson said "that translates into 1,500 to 2,000 people, since many people dance with more than one of these teams."

Extractions: (Their contact details are at the bottom of this page). The chronology is up to date. The key points are as follows. Harry Kitchener at the Anne Port Bay Folk Club formed the Helier Morris Men, in 1975 and we first danced out in that same year. We took part in the Battle of Flowers which is a well know event here in the Channel Islands ("the Battle" as its known locally), dancing at intervals up and down the parade. In 1976 we had our first Ale (for those of you who know little about Morris, an ale is where we get together and dance with other Morris sides, sing songs and generally enjoy ourselves). We invited the Wessex Morris Men, who feature a lot in ours and in a lot of side's history. At Christmas we performed our first Mummers Play (again for those of you that know little about Morris, a Mummers play is just that, a short act usually based around the concept of death and resurrection). 1980 saw us no longer able to practice at Howard Davis Farm, as the barn we used during the winter months was converted into Science labs.

Extractions: HEADLINES - Well that's the Summer done and for details of what we have been up to follow the link to the diary page for 2005. Still a couple of bookings to go and who knows what the rest of the year may bring. But with Autumn approaching it's time to get down to some serious practice again. Yes folks it's back to the hall on the 5th of September. The list of things to do for the coming weeks is, so far, Hindley and West Houghton. But if John or even the general crew have any ideas from their summer break then we could possibly be adding in another "Horbury" dance. Then of course there will be the basic teaching for the flood of new recruits who will be beating a path to the door of the hall. On the personnel front we will be losing Will, assuming his results came through as expected. Our loss is Wales gain, though I'm hoping he might still find time for the odd dance out. Think about it Will, chance to meet up with old friends, spend some time with the family, tap your Dad for a beer. You know it makes sense.

Morris To Carnival
A really interesting site written by Geoff Bibby which explains the transistion of morris dancing from the traditional dance to the modern carnival equivalent that is seen around the northwest today.
http://www.thelwallmorris.org.uk/lymm_book/misc/morris_to_carnival.htm

Extractions: Geoff Bibby was interviewed on Resonance FM Radio on this topic Whenever traditions are under threat there are always those who try to set up situations to help their continuance. This has always been true of Morris Dancing. There have been many peaks and troughs in the popularity of Morris dancing and interested parties will endeavour to revive flagging teams, re-awaken traditions that are dormant or collect and preserve dances from 'dead' sides - so that these dances are able to undergo a renaissance. Whatever form the input takes, this input itself inevitably has an effect on the tradition. After WW1 many sides found themselves unable to raise a team - the men simply weren't available. The responses to this situation were variable: Most of the 'old' dancers tried to maintain the 'maleness' of the dances. Teams continued to struggle and the cancellation of many 'traditional' events such as Whit and May festivals during WW2 caused further breaks in continuity. It became rare for boys to dance and girls took it up in large numbers. In the north of England and particularly in the north - west

Extractions: Learn Morris Dancing Performances Booking Information Moreton Bay Fig Morris may seem like an odd-moniker for a folk dance troupe, but this local ensemble has been evoking the medieval village life of merry old England since 1984. The three-part suite of dances in Moreton Bay Fig Morris' medley was performed against a jaunty sonic background of traditional English tunes, played by a small group of folk musicians. During Saturday's pair of performances, the group presented a difficult stick dance, a round of handkerchief dancing, and other vintage styles of English country dancing.

Morris In Minnesota
Several ritual sworddance teams also exist. They are Vorpal Sword (an English remember) morris dances The Hankie dance, and The Stick dance.
http://www.hamline.edu/~thodapp/morris/morris.html

Extractions: Morris dancing is a generic name for a number of types of traditional English dance forms. Although it is primarily used to describe Cotswold style dances, Morris also includes sword dances (primarily from the northern regions of England) and Border dances (from the Welsh-English border). Each of these dance forms have been and continue to be of a ritual rather than social nature, and have existed in one form or another for five centuries or more. Today they are danced by teams throughout the world, although primarily in England and the US. Minnesota is home to a number of ritual performance teams including 4 Cotswold teams (or 'sides' as they are called). They include MTM : Minnesota Traditional Morris (a men's side), the Bells of the North (a women's side), Ramsey's Braggarts (a men's side), and Uptown-on-Calhoun (a mixed [which is not to say confused] gender side). Several ritual sword-dance teams also exist. They are Vorpal Sword (an English Rapper-sword side), Short Sword (also Rapper), the

http://eaasdc.de/history/shemorri.htm

Extractions: American Folks Dancing has two great ancestors, one English and one French. The subtle contribution of the French ancestors we shall discuss a little later. The English ancestor was a strong, mysterious stranger, but deeply our own, gathering into itself elements from all the ritual lore of the ages, and giving out from itself a vast treasure of figures, feelings, music and attitudes. This English ancestor was the great Morris Dance . It must already have been very old in 1450 when we start our story. No one seems to be perfectly sure whether it preceded the Country Dance that seems to have grown out of it, or whether they grew up more or less side by side. For the purpose of simplicity, let us assume that the Morris Dance was the immediate parent of the Country Dance. It was a professional dance in a sense, as are our "Exhibition dances" that are done by amateurs at festival and conventions. It was not done by just anyone who felt like dancing, but by trained teams who called themselves "Morris Men", and it was done with great gravity, for it went back to a time when the coming of spring was a thing so yearned for that it must be "danced" into being by the beating feet of the children of men. It went back to a time when winter was a spectre of dread after a lean harvest, and sacrifice (sometimes wheaten, sometimes animal, sometimes even human) was necessary in order to propitiate the gods of growing green. A century or two before, these Morris Men had been
