About this exposition

The work presents selected parts of a women's academy in the form of a short film, which was originally performed once at the Viennese court in 1697. The video is the result of an interpretative approach based on the acting techniques of the period when this academy was created. The music harmonises with the movement, which, in turn, follows the affect of the text. The filmed scene was rehearsed by students, graduates and teachers of the Department of Early Music at the University of Music and Arts of the City of Vienna (MUK) as part of the course “Period Acting Techniques“ under the direction of Margit Legler. This work contributes to the visualisation and imaginability of this historical event, where five authors and singers presented speeches, poems and music they had composed themselves on a specific research question. In addition to the score of the selected parts, this publication includes a historical report on the creation of the academy, summarising the findings of a dissertation on music history dedicated to this event (Pumhösl 2014). It concludes with a personal reflection on how the performance of today's interpreters changes when they employ period acting techniques in speeches, recitatives and arias.
