Since the Early Dance Group \u201cGalms\u201d was first established, its artistic director has been Ilona Ozola, a museum educator at Bauska Castle Museum. Her work focuses on exploring the domestic culture and dance history of the Renaissance, researching early dance notation, and reconstructing dances based on manuals written by 16th- and 17th-century court dance masters. She is also the creator of the dance programmes performed by the Early Dance Group \u201cGalms\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ilona Ozola has further developed her dancing skills and gained international experience in early dance teaching methodologies by attending masterclasses led by internationally renowned instructors, including Isabel Suri, Barbara Sparti, Lieven Baert, Bruna Gondoni, Anne Daye, Hazel Dennison, J\u00f8rgen Schou-Pedersen, and Tamsin Lewis. She has also participated in international conferences, delivering presentations on early dance, concepts for creating staged concert productions, props, and research methods.<\/p>\n

Throughout its 15-year history, the group has developed and performed a variety of dance programmes. Among its most spectacular and impressive concert productions are Plan\u0113tu par\u0101de (Parade of the Planets, 2014), Festa vita (2016), Ignis (2018), and Zaud\u0113t\u0101 Parad\u012bze (Lost Paradise, 2019). These productions brought to life stories exploring Renaissance-era beliefs, astronomy, the celebration and enjoyment of life, the symbolic significance of fire, and Christopher Columbus\u2019s expedition to America.<\/p>\n

The Early Dance Group \u201cGalms\u201d has performed at early music festivals at Rund\u0101le Palace and Bauska Castle, as well as in N\u00e1chod, Czechia, at Trakai Island Castle in Lithuania, and at other venues.<\/p>\n
