[for dancers, or anyone else, planning to attend KWAR / KWCS.
Keith / Guillaume  S:}> ]

Greetings from Eirene -

Please take a moment out of your busy schedule to make your hotel
reservations with the Renaissance Denver Hotel for KWCS III/KWAR soon! The
room block that we have reserved at the special rate of $59 a night is over
70% sold and going fast! This is a class "A" hotel, with all the amenities
- ironing boards, refrigerators, complimentary coffee, and data ports in the
hotel rooms, on-site restaurant and lounge, pool and hot tub, and room
service. Enjoy the superb accommodations and uncompromising service of the
Renaissance for these world-class events!

To help you make your decision, we've compiled a list of the top ten reasons
you should you stay at the Renaissance Denver Hotel for KWCS III/KWAR.

(drum roll, please...)

10) Your room is a quiet place to R&R during the event
9) Less distance to carry all the booty from the Merchant room
8) Avoid the shower line at your host's two-bedroom apartment
7) Random late-night quizzes in the elevator could get your name in the local
newsletter
6) Yours is not one of the hundreds of cars stuck in the daily lane changes
and nightly closures of T-REX
5) You get to sleep on a real bed, instead of your friend's vintage lumpy sofa
4) Your best Elizabethan gets hung in the closet, not rolled up and used as a
pillow
3) The special `secret' handshake got you the $59 rate
2) "Designated Elevator Operator" replaces the "Designated Driver"

And the Number One reason for staying at the Renaissance Denver Hotel is:

Your hotel room is two minutes from class, two minutes from the feast, and
right next door to the yummy Italian Ren in room 206...

To make reservations reserve on-line at
http://www.renaissancehotels.com/default.asp or call 1-800-HOTELS-1
from the US and Canada. Be sure to use the "secret" handshake -
the group code SCASCAA - to get the special rate.

Hi there:

      This is just an update to let everyone know where we are with Caerthen
dance practice.  Tomorrow (Tuesday, 10/7) is our regular monthly meeting at the
Englewood Public Library.

      But wait, there's more!  Next week, we start twice a month practices at the
Colorado School of Mines (Caerthe's College of Scola Metallorum).  These
practices will be on the second and fourth Tuesdays of October and November.  So
this month we will meet on Tuesdays October 14 and 28.  Practices will be in the
Student Center.  Follow the signs to the room assigned on any given week.

      All practices nominally start at 6:30 (depending on traffic, Arwen and I
could be a few minutes late - please wait for us!).  Directions to the Library
are on the Caerthen Dance Practice web site
http://home.earthlink.net/~smcclune/dance.html - direction to the School of
Mines will be added shortly.

      If you are in the area, we hope to see you there!

Greetings all!

I just wanted to thank all my wonderful musicians for an overwhelming
successful debut this weekend.  I had such an incredible time, and without
you, it wouldn't have happened at all! I'd also like to thank the autocrats of
St.
Golias Feast Day, and of the Esperanza Tournament for the opportunity.

For those who didn't attend, we played at St. Golias Feast Day this past
Saturday (Oct. 4), for the after-feast court dancing.  Most of the feasters
stayed to dance, with instruction from the gracious Lady Barbara.

The music was provided by THL Asha, who plays the flute and the dumbek
(sp?), Lyneya del Filde, who plays the clarinet, Lady Melody Shaw, who
plays the recorder and tin whistle, Lindsey, who plays the guitar, and
directed by myself (Lin Shiao Mei), on the violin.

We played the al-Barranian Pavane (Belle Qui Tiens Ma Vie), Hole-in-the-
Wall (have the rest of you gotten that tune out of your head yet???), the
Official Bransle (Toss the Duchess), Gathering Peascods (the Male-Bonding
song), the Maltese Bransle, and Quen Quer Que.

Then, as if one event was not enough, we hurried back to al-Barran on
Sunday (Oct. 5) to play at the park for the Esperanza Tournament.  After
playing for the performing court dancers for a while, Baroness Fermina
requested attendees to join her in the list field to dance to Gathering
Peascods.  The circle of dancers filled the list field!  I must say, that I
really
like the effect of the armour clanking added to the male-bonding!

As can be expected, we are all happy, but exhausted, so our next practice
will not be until Sunday, October 12, at noon (Fighter Practice Park).
Huzzah everyone!

In Service,
Lady Lin Shiao Mei of Ali Shan
Kindred Crafters, Barony of al-Barran & College of St. Golias
Kingdom of the Outlands

Our Musicians have been working very hard and practicing often, to provide music for over half the dances on Nov. 1 at our Ball, 6:30-9:30pm.
How many of these court dances do you know:  al-Barran Pavan (slow, stately, flirting dance);  Hole-in-the-Wall (our stealing dance); Gathering Peascods (aka Male Bonding); Ballo del Fiore (j's, z's, diagonals); Well Hall (waltz tune, longways set, similar to Hole-in-the-Wall, cloverleaf turn); Trenchmore (a fun, follow the leader, going over & under other couples' arms); Circle Waltz (a waltz tune, ladies twirl under the gentlemen's arms); Angus Reel (a partner dance in a circle with a back-to-back movement); Maltese Bransle (no partner needed, step into the circle, tempo increases);  Official Bransle (aka "toss the wench" or "toss the duchess"); Horses Bransle; Pinwheel (a "called dance", done with a partner in a circle, with one partner touching the hands of other dancers, like spokes on a wheel); Petit Riens (a 3 person, chasing & flirting dance, done a couple of years ago at mid-Winter); Amoroso (a fun, chasing & flirting dance, taught recently at dance practice); Quen Quer Que (a large circle dance, no partners needed, newly taught at dance practice.)

If you want to learn or practice these dances before the ball, there will be a court dance practice Sunday, October 26, at Battan Park in Albuquerque, 12:30-2:30pm.  There will also be 14 hours of dance classes in two dance tracks (beginning  & intermediate) from 10am to 5pm at our Nov. 1st. event.
Court Dance practices for November will be Nov. 2 & Nov. 14 at Battan Park, 12:30-2:30pm.  Battan Park is at the NW corner of Lomas & Carlisle, on Lomas next to Walgreens.

We look forward to dancing with you!!

Yours in service to the dream,

Lady Barbara (al-Barran)

Court Dance Classes, Dance Music Classes, Potluck Feast, Children’s Room, Court Dance Ball
Themes:  “Come as You are Not” and “Donate a Toy for Toys-for-Tots”

Come one and all to al-Barran’s Court Dancing and Musicians Collegium and Ball.  Come refresh your memory on court dances you know and learn new ones, including court dances that are being danced inner-kingdom,  so that as you travel around the Outlands, you will know the dances at our various balls.  There will be a full day of court dance classes from 10 am to 5 pm with a break for lunch on your own.  Lemonade and tea will be provided throughout the day.  We will have two informal dance tracks--one for the  beginner dancers and a concurrent one for the intermediate dancers.  I am delighted to announce that Mistress Arwen & THL Guillaume of Caerthe will be teaching at our Dancing Collegium.  From 3 to 5 pm we will also be teaching “inner-kingdom” court dances, which are court dances that are currently being taught in the various Outlands’ baronies and shires and danced at their events, for those who play on the kingdom level and wish to dance at out-of-town events in the Outlands.  For those of you wishing to teach court dancing in your shires and baronies, Lady Barbara has created a booklet of dance instruction and a set of court dance music tapes for these dances, to give to you.
Musicians from our al-Barran Musicians group will be meeting with other musicians from 1 to 5 pm to share music, information, etc.  They have a great collection of court dance sheet music collected by Lady Lin Shiao Mei (shiao_mei@..., 505-934-3952),  which you can download from her website at  http://mywebpages.comcast.net/shiao_mei/crtdance.pdf    and are encouraged to print and bring with you to this event.   This collection of dance music is based on the dances in Lady Barbara’s dance instruction booklet.

We will be having a potluck feast prior to the Ball from 5:15 to 6:15 pm with our Barony donating  a meat dish, bread, butter, tea and lemonade.  There will be lots of dancing of old and new court dances at our Court Dance Ball from 6:30 to approximately 9:30 pm.  We are excited to have our al-Barran Court Dance Musicians playing for part of the ball.  Our theme for the ball is “Come as You are Not” which  means you  dress in period garb, but in a way that you don’t usually dress for your persona.  Masks are welcome, but not necessary.  We also encourage you to bring a new, unwrapped toy (value of $5.00 or more) to donate to our barony’s donation to Toys-for-Tots.  Anyone bringing a toy can deduct $2.00 from their gate fee.  For our non-dancers, there will be gaming tables for those who wish to play period board games throughout the day.  There will also be a supervised children’s room from 10 am to 10 pm with activities for the children.  We ask that parents donate 2 hours of their time during the day in the room for each of their children who participate and bring a few of their children’s favorite toys.   Gate fees are $4 for members and $7 for non-members.   The fee for children and teens, ages 6 to 17, is $3 each, and children age 5 and under are free.  There is a family cap of $20.  Please make your checks payable to “SCA al-Barran.”  Please note, this is a dry site, so no alcohol is allowed at the site.

Reservations are not required.  Please contact Anuradha  at sillygirl07@... or 505-681-1276 if you need crash space.   No pets please.  For further information, see the Collegium link on the al-Barran web site,  http:\\www.al-barran.org .     For emergencies, a cell phone will be at the site to receive messages, 505-379-1181.  Directions:  From the West on I-40 take the 7th exit (Tramway) after passing through the I-25 interchange and turn left onto Tramway (from the East on I-40, take the 1st Albuquerque exit and turn right onto Tramway).  On Tramway, go north about 1.3 miles to the light at Lomas and turn left onto Lomas.   Go .5 miles to the light at Chelwood Park Blvd. and turn right.  Take Chelwood Park Blvd. about .6 mile to the church, which will be on your right at 1500 Chelwood Park Blvd.   Autocrat:  Lady Barbara (Barbara Krege), 12612 Morrow Avenue NE, Albuquerque, NM 87112, 505-293-7453, krege@...  and Deputy Autocrats:  Lady  Melody Shaw and Lord Y  Port Lairge (Susan and Chris Hurlbert),  505-265-0161, Lockgen1@...

We have some period looking pictures on a computer, which we would like to have on pieces of cloth "for educational purposes".  We can print copies (B&W and color) and would like to inexpensively somehow transfer them to cloth, without having to pay a printing firm to do so.

Any ideas?  I need specifics, such as names and steps.

Thank you,

Lady Barbara, al-Barran

Hi there:

      Just back from KWAR/KWCS, and doing a little catching up ...

1st edition Playford, 1651.  This is an unusual dance, and, as Playford's
descriptions are more like shorthand notes, the are several SCA reconstructions
that seem to fit the original description, but are very different in
appearance.  In Caerthe we use a reconstruction from the barony of Carolingia
(East Kingdom) from about 22-23 years ago (I was there - and Mike Bergman may
have been, too).

> 2) Circle Waltz

This seems to be a 20th century choreography, but may go back into the late
1800's.  I do not know this dance, so I can't tell which Circle Waltz it is.

> I also would like to find sheet music for "Well Hall".

Sixth edition Playford, 1679.  A facsimile of the original music is on the web
page "The Dancing Master, 1651-1728:  An Illustrated Compendium" at
http://www.izaak.unh.edu/nhltmd/indexes/dancingmaster/ - this resource has a
shorthand comparison of every dance as it appeared in each edition of the
Dancing Master, so it is an excellent resource for identifying when a given
dance first appeared in Playford, and whether a given dance changed over time.
Some dances, for instance, appear in almost every edition - but after the eigth
or tenth edition, the dance and music are completely different and only the name
is the same.  At least a couple of dances have corrections in the second or
third edition.

I do not have a modern arrangement of music for this dance.  Perhaps somebody
else on this list?

Please contact your friends, your students, cadets, squires, households, special interest groups, and your lists (archery, bardic, seneschals, peers, rapier, heavy fighting, shire, canton, barony, sewing, arts & sciences, heraldry, performance arts, etc.) and everyone, who has ever told you "I can't dance, I have two left feet" (because we have a caiergen that can fix that).

Bless you.  Thank you very much.

Lady Barbara, Autocrat

Hi there:

      FYI, the SPAM agent has been banned from this list and will not bother us
again - at least not from that address.  Just one of the "features" of open
email lists.  I have deleted two "off topic" files from our yahoogroups files
area.

      So, does anyone have any questions, comments, or news about dance?

I looked at the site below and it is such a gift, even if you are not
ready to do reconstructions--so much information!  Lady Barbara,

This includes some pictures of court dancers. I would need to get
names and permissions before I could send any copies to you that
could be "used" for any purpose. But if I can dance -- anyone can.

If it was too cold for you to come out to the "Toys for Tots"
tournament in the park here in al-Barran on Sunday, I have pictures.
It was 34 degrees outside, so we all had thermal underwear under the
garb. Look under the two "Toysfortots" albums, which I have posted
tonight. By tomorrow, I should have pictures of the school's Book
Fair, including children modelling hats loaned by Scadians.

Greetings gentles all,

( http://shiao_mei.home.comcast.net/sscales.html )

Our little group has been practicing diligently since June and even performing
at several events, and here it is December before I even finished (started?)
the website for it.  Without further ado, please take a look at what we've
accomplished in five short months - including an upcoming performance at al-
Barran's MidWinter.  I urge all of you who are planning to attend the
MidWinter Feast to stay afterwards and participate in some good old
fashioned flirting and socializing, um, I mean dancing.

In Service,
Lady Lin Shiao Mei of Ali Shan
Director, Scorpion Scales
Kindred Crafters, Barony of al-Barran & College of St. Golias
Kingdom of the Outlands

Welcome m'lady,

Glad to hear you like to dance, and welcome to the SCA.  I would suggest you
attend some of the larger holiday events if possible, I know there will be
court dancing at al-Barran's Midwinter celebration next weekend.  Also, if
you get to Estrella this year, they usually have lots of dancing in the A&S
teaching area.  Some of us will be at both events, hope to see you there.
Even our local Yule revel held tonight was to have dancing but the flu has
kept me home for the past 3 days, including the party tonight, hence I am
reading your message.  So, there are lots of dancers out there, can anyone
for the eastern part of the kingdom add more?

 Greetings!!

For the intensely curious, here's the dance class schedule for
Estrella. All the classes will be on Saturday, just cuz it's easier,
and gives us a lovely opportunity to annoy the A&S competition
judges. ;)

10am - Dance & Society in the Renaissance. Dance was a very
important part of Renaissance society. It defined a courtier and
could lead to political advancement. It could also cause a person to
be scorned and ridiculed. Come join us for a look at dance as
theatre, society and politics in the 15th and 16th centuries. Taught
by Meistres Julian ferch Rhys.

11am - Beginning English Country Dance. Heart's Ease, Rufty Tufty,
and other two-couple dances. Taught by Sasha Keyel.

12 noon - Myths & Misconceptions in SCA Dance. Many people believe
that the way we dance in the SCA is "The One True Way", completely
correct for our period. In this class, we'll look at the difference
and similarities between dance then and now. Be ready for some
surprises! Taught by Meistres Julian ferch Rhys.

1pm - Intermediate English Country Dance: Argeers. An in-depth look
at "Argeers"; or, "Playford on Acid". A previous knowledge of the
steps in English Country Dance will be useful, but is not required.
Taught by Sasha Keyel.

2pm - Anyone Can Boogie: The Basic Dances. This class will cover
many of the basic Western European Court dances that you regularly
see at Balls and events.  You don't have to have any dance
experience to learn these dances and after this class you'll be able
to boogie with the best of them. Taught by Lady Katheline van Weye.
(2 hours)

4pm - Dancers' Moot. A get-together for anyone interested in dance.
We'll be answering questions, trying new reconstructions, and just
generally exchanging dance information of all kinds!

I've just spoken to someone who found out they were coming and wants
to teach. I'm checking into whether we can get their classes into
the schedule at this point, so there might be some additions to the
schedule at a later date.

Thanks to the teachers, and, by the way, these are the class
descriptions which will be appearing in the gatebook. :)

 Hi all...

As promised, here's the provisional schedule (bearing in mind that I
don't actually know what timeframe they're going to let me work in).
I'm running with the assumption that we're going to start classes
around 9am, with a lunch break at noon. If this changes, I'll make
corrections accordingly (and let y'all know). As a reminder, the
event is the first weekend in April (3-4) in Sierra Vista (Barony-
March of Mons Tonitrus).

SATURDAY
9am - Introduction to Western European Dance. A general overview of
what we know about Western European dance. Designed to give the
student an idea of dance styles and forms which may further interest
them.

10am - Beginning 15th Century Italian Dance. An introductory class
to the styles and footwork of 15th century Italian dance. Will
include Amoroso, Petit Vriens and Rostiboli Gioioso. (taught by
Katheline)

11am - Intermediate 15th Century Italian Dance. A continuation of
study from the beginning class. We will look a little more in-depth
at other types of 15th century Italian dance.

1pm - 16th Century French Dance - Arbeau. A look at the dances found
in Arbeau - bransles, pavanes and so on. (taught by Katheline)

2pm - Beginning 16th Century Italian Dance. An introductory class on
the slightly more complex dances of 16th century Italy. The student
will be introduced to some new dance forms and some new steps. We
will be looking primarily at the dances of Fabritio Caroso.

3pm - Intermediate 16th Century Italian Dance. A continuation of the
beginning class, this session will take a look at Cesare Negri,
Caroso's partner-in-crime.

4pm - The Old Measures. England had dance in the 16th century too!
This class will introduce the student to the series of dances taught
in and around the Inns of Court and other great London institutions
of learning. (taught by Katheline)

SUNDAY
9am - Burgundian Bassedanse. The 15th century in Burgundy saw the
emergence of a particularly "logical" form of processional dance.
Students in this class will learn the formula of bassedanse, as well
as how to perform them.

10am - English Country Dance. Grandfathered in, the dances of this
class are first noted in 1651. However, they are among the most
popular dances done in the SCA and include such favorites as Hearts
Ease, Rufty Tufty and Upon a Summer's Day. [NOTE: dances mentioned
here are not necessarily those that have to be taught.]

11am - Dance Reconstruction. You've seen the dances, now come try
your hand and putting them together yourself! A dance from a period
source will be chosen, and class participants will learn the process
of reconstruction by working it out for themselves. If the dance
chosen is from a foreign repertoire, the class shall be provided
English translations to work from.

1pm - Galliards. Galliards were one of the most popular dance styles
of the 16th century. Queen Elizabeth scandalized Europe by dancing
them with Robert Dudley. Her father, Henry VIII, was enamoured of
the style, as it allowed him to show off his machismo (and his
rather shapely legs!). In this class, students will be introduced to
the basics of galliards. It's all improvisation - you can't get it
wrong!

2pm - Dance Etiquette, Improvisation and Ornamentation. Dance isn't
just about the choreographies. A large part of Western European
dance was improvisational - even in the midst of carefully-
constructed choreographies! In this class, we will have a gander at
the various forms of ornamentation available to a dancer and learn
how to flesh out a dance performance. We will also look at manner
and mannerisms as related to the successful  performance of period
dance in a period style. (somehow I'm thinking I'm going to get
stuck with this one, regardless :)

3pm - Dance Class Redux. These two hours will be a walk-in session
where any dance-related questions will, hopefully, be answered. It
is intended that anyone who is interested in dance and/or wishes
further help towards an Estrella entry will use this session to pick
the brains of the attending dance instructors. Participants are not
required to attend for the entire two hours. [NOTE: I am not looking
for instructors for this session. However, I would ask that anyone
teaching appear for this if possible, just to give any student who
does show up a wider range of brains to draw from. :) ]

And there ya go. Let the mad rush to teach classes begin! ;) Oh, and
if I've missed something, or y'all have schedule suggestions, I'd
love to hear those as well. :)

Thanks!

Julian
