DISS 2015: The Story of the Jig
Lucie Skeaping, Jon Banks: illustrated lecture
Lucie Skeaping – singer, multi-instrumentalist, writer and presenter of Radio 3’s The Early Music Show – explores the rumbustious, witty world of the dramatic jig. A popular crowd-pleaser in the late 16th and mid-17th century, the dramatic jig was a short, comic, bawdy musical-drama which included elements of dance, slapstick and disguise. With a cast of ageing cuckolds and young head-strong wives, knavish clowns, roaring soldiers and country
