Tuck William

William Tuck has worked as a theatre director and musician for more than twenty years in London, principally in collaboration with the small theatre company Chalemie, for whom he has helped create many shows. His primary interest is in the re-creation of the performance styles of the eighteenth century, incorporating dance, mime and music along with spoken text. His musical interests range from the use of pipe and tabor to accompany dance from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, to the importance of the sackbut as a signifier of wealth throughout the European Renaissance.
