18 octubre 05Elx Medieval Festival opens the registration for Fencing and calligraphy courses.
Both courses will be from Monday 23th to Friday 28th, from 17:00 to 20:00 p.m.
The Historical Calligraphy course will be given by Ricardo Vicente Placed at the Sala de Ensayos del Gran Teatro. Vicente Placed has been living in Egypt for five years, as a professor in Instituto Cervantes and Egipcian Universities: AIN Shams and Al Azhar. With this course it is expected to retrieve and mantain the handwriting in the age of the computer. Besides, we will go in depth into the calligraphy understood as a discipline which gives perspectives and parallel knowledges about callygraphy and art history.
Classes on Scenic Fencing with medieval sword will take place in the roundabout of the Parque Municipal, a course of expression and creation that understands the theatre as an experimental platform. During the course pupils will work on individual and group proposals, choreographies with musical and textual bases, to put ability, constancy and effort to the test. This course is entitled “Del Arte de esgrimir el arma tirando al verso y la palabra” and will be given by Francisco Alberola, teacher of Scenic Fencing in the Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático in Murcia.
Those interested can acquire the registration forms at the Gran Teatro’s ticket office (from Tuesday to Saturday, from 10:00h to 13:00h a.m. and from 17:00h to 20:00h p.m.) or through the website: www.festivalmedieval.com.
