It will explore the evolving relationship between danced spectacle and audience, and the enhanced spatial and costly demands which came from increasing choreographic complexity reflecting political ambitions leading to the creation of permanent theatres and ball rooms in princely dwellings. The argument will move from consideration of interiors barely changed for dancing (Binche, 1549 and Bordeaux, 1575); 'La Favorita festeggiante'.

In fact, influenced by anthropology, the analysis of all kinds of written records -from lists and inventories to accountancy and book-keeping -has become an important research field for medieval and early modern history, thus opening up new access to princely ruling and administrative running. From the 13 th century onwards, aulic institutions became more sophisticated in order to manage growing courts, and started producing more and more written records they intended to keep. What is at stake in these documentary practices and archivemaking process is crucial: the establishment of court society as one of the main tools in the system of princely representation. Moreover, these documents gave the court greater legitimacy amongst the other political institutions. In this regard, they are part of the « modern » state making process -on which we have chosen to focus, even if court written records constitute a long-term phenomenon from Egyptian and Mesopotamian Antiquity onwards.
