EDITORS COMMENTS
DANCE: THE MORRIS, 1600. William Kemp's Spirited Journey through Dance. This print captures a momentous scene from the past - William Kemp dancing the Morris in the year 1600. The woodcut, taken from the title-page of his book 'The Nine Daies Wonder, ' depicts Kemp's extraordinary journey from London to Norwich in 1599, where he danced the Morris all along his way. In this lively image, we witness Kemp adorned in fashionable attire; his hat tilted jauntily and a bell hanging from his costume as he energetically performs alongside other men. The drum beats rhythmically while a fife plays an enchanting tune that fills the air with merriment. Kemp's dedication to dance is evident as he showcases intricate footwork and graceful movements associated with Morris dancing. This traditional English folk dance has long been celebrated for its lively steps and vibrant energy, often accompanied by music played on various instruments like drums and fifes. Through this woodcut, we are transported back to an era when dance was not only a form of entertainment but also a means of storytelling and self-expression. It serves as a testament to Kemp's passion for preserving cultural traditions and spreading joy through movement. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate both the historical significance of Morris dancing and William Kemp's contribution to its legacy. It reminds us that even centuries later, art continues to captivate our hearts with its ability to transcend time.
