Morris dance

Morris dance Page issues Cotswold Morris with handkerchiefs A small statue of a "Moriskentänzer" made by Erasmus Grasser in 1480 for Old Townhall in Munich, one of a set of 16, of which only 10 remain. This dancer has an appearance which would be described at the time as "moorish", but all the other nine surviving carvings are fairer-skinned. All wear bells on their legs. Morris dance is a form of English folk dance usually accompanied by music. It is based on rhythmic stepping and the execution of choreographed figures by a group of dancers, usually wearing bell pads on their shins. Implements such as sticks, swords and handkerchiefs may also be wielded by the dancers. In a small number of dances for one or two people, steps are near and across a pair of clay tobacco pipes laid one across the other on the floor. The earliest known and surviving English written mention of Morris dance is dated to 1448, and records the payment of seven shillings to Morris dancers by the Goldsmiths' Company in London.[1] Further mentions of Morris dancing occur in the late 15th century, and there are also early records such as bishops' "Visitation Articles" mention sword dancing, guising and other dancing activities, as well as mumming plays. While the earliest records invariably mention "Morys" in a court setting, and a little later in the Lord Mayors' Processions in London, it had assumed the nature of a folk dance performed in the parishes by the mid 17th century. There are around 150 Morris sides (or teams) in the United States.[2] English expatriates form a larger part of the Morris tradition in Australia, Canada, New Zealand[3] and Hong Kong. There are isolated groups in other countries, for example those in Utrecht and Helmond,[4] Netherlands; the Arctic Morris Group of Helsinki,[5] Finland and Stockholm, Sweden; as well as in Cyprus.[6] Name and origins History in England Styles Music Terminology Evolution Kit and

Life and career[edit]

Wolff was born in Berlin, but aged 11 he moved to Britain with his family. The family arrived on the day World War II broke out. After school at the City of Oxford High School for Boys^[3] he worked at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford under Robert Gwyn Macfarlane,^[3]and at the Pneumoconiosis Research Unit near Cardiff, before going on to University College London, where he gained a first class honours degree in Physiology and Physics. Before going to UCL, he had been considered by Trinity College, Cambridge but was rejected twice because his understanding of Latin was too weak.^[4]

In 1953 he married Joan, then a Staff Nurse, whom he met during work.

He spent much of his early career in bioengineering, a term which he himself coined in 1954^[5] to take account of then recent advances in physiology. He became an honorary member of the European Space Agency in 1975, and in 1983 he founded the Brunel Institute for Bioengineering, which is involved in biological research during weightless space-flight. Following retirement, he was Emeritus Professor of Bioengineering at Brunel University. Wolff was the scientific director and co-founder of Project Juno, the private British-Soviet joint venture which sent Helen Sharman to the Mirspace station.

Widowed in October 2014, he died from heart failure on 15 December 2017.^[6] He was survived by his two sons.^{[6]=read more on wiki link}
