Ingrid Pfandl-Buchegger, expert in English literature and the narrative potential of dance (University of Graz, Department of English Studies), will give an overview of the multiple developments in the area of sequels to and adaptations of Jane Austen's novels and the amazing number of artistic creations that her novels have inspired. The evening will then shed light on the central role dance plays both in her novels and her life, which will be illustrated by selected scenes from novels and film adaptations. Finally, there will be a unique opportunity to 'put yourself in the shoes of Jane Austen' and experience movement and space like she did by participating in one of the country dances popular at the time under the guidance of Gudrun Rottensteiner, a specialist in historical dance from the University of Music and Dramatic Arts Graz.
