- John Weaver (21 July 1673 – 24 September 1760) was an English dancer and choreographer, and is often regarded as the father of English pantomime. Weaver was born in Shrewsbury. His father, a dance teacher, suggested he go to London and become a ballet master. Weaver soon became a specialist in comic roles and created the first pantomime ballet, the burlesque Tavern Bilkers (1702). His more serious work, The Loves of Mars and Venus dealt with themes from classical literature and required a significant amount of gestures due to the story not being expressed in any spoken form. Because Weaver attempted to use plot and emotion in replacement of more sophisticated technical and speech methods, he is considered a major influence on subsequent choreographers, including Jean-Georges Noverre and Gasparo Angiolini. His books include a translation of Raoul Auger Feuillet's Orchesography, and two original works titled A Small Treatise of Time and Cadence in Dancing' (1706) and A collection of ball-dances performed at court (1706).
- John Weaver est un danseur et chorégraphe britannique, généralement reconnu comme le père de pantomime anglaise. Son père, un maître à danser, l'incite à se rendre à Londres pour devenir maître de ballet. Weaver devient vite un spécialiste des rôles comiques et crée le premier ballet-pantomime burlesque, Tavern Bilkers (1702). Son ballet le plus sérieux, The Loves of Mars and Venus (1717), annonce déjà les théories que développeront plus tard Cahusac, Noverre et Angiolini. Son œuvre écrite comprend une traduction de la Chorégraphie de Raoul-Auger Feuillet, sous le titre Orchesography (1706), ainsi que des ouvrages inédits : A Small Treatise of Time and Cadence in Dancing (1706) A Collection of Ball-Dances Performed at Court (1706) An Essay Towards a History of Dancing (1712) Anatomical and Mechanical Lectures Upon Dancing (1721) History of Mimes and Pantomimes (1727). Fervent adepte du système Feuillet, Weaver est considéré comme le précurseur du ballet d'action.
