Meeting of those thinking about competing (and supporters) at Estrella
War 2005, in A&S category of European Dance (Court Dance) for A&S War
Point.
Meeting begins at 4:30pm (or sooner) for one hour, at the baronial
closing court site (probably in Dane Smith Hall).  Meeting will start
immediately after closing court  (more information below).
--------------------

Greetings,

We have decided to have the meeting--for those interested in performing
(or supporting the dancers efforts) at Estrella 2005, for the european
dance (court dance) competition for the Estrella War A&S war point,--at
4:30pm (or sooner, if baronial court is over sooner), for about one
hour.  We will start the meeting, where ever the al-Barran court was
held.  Note, I believe that Dane Smith Hall closes at 5pm, so we may be
outside for part of this meeting.  After one hour, those wishing to
discuss further this topic, will adjourn to a nearby restaurant to
discuss more over dinner, prior to the ball at 7pm.  We hope you will be
able to join us.

Yours in service to the dream,
Lady Barbara

At Atenveldt's Kingdom A&S this weekend in Sierra Vista, Arizona, there
are some wonderful court dance classes, all day Saturday and all day
Sunday, 4/3 & 4/4, as well as a lot of other A&S classes.

I have two, possibly three individuals who would like to go to this
event, leaving Friday afternoon, from Albuquerque, who are seeking
transportation.  One of them has a parent who lives in Sierra Vista,
so crash space would be available for everyone and they would be
willing to help with gasoline expenses.

This event is being held in the Barony of Mons Tonitrus.

For complete information about this event, please visit this event

Below is the court dance class schedule for this event.

Yours in service to the dream,
Lady Barbara, al-Barran



Here is the schedule of the court dance classes for Saturday and Sunday:


Saturday   Room 305A


Time                        Class

10-11    Introduction to Western European Dance
Meistres Julian ferch Rhys
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.


11-12    Beginning 15th Century Italian Dance
Lady Katheline van Weye
An introductory class to the styles and footwork of 15th century
Italian dance. Will include Amoroso, Petit Vriens and Rostiboli
Gioioso.


1-2      16th Century French Dance - Arbeau
Lady Katheline van Weye
Arbeau. A look at the dances found in Arbeau - bransles, pavanes and
so on.


2-3      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.


3-4    Coordinating Dance with Live Musicians
  Mistress Isabeau della Farfalla and Master Wallace le Casse
"Dance is only enhanced by the presence of live musicians. Come speak
to some members of the Atenveldt College of Musicians and learn about
coordinating choreographs with music, dancers with players."


4-5     The Old Measures
Lady Katheline van Weye
  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.


SUNDAY         Room 305A

Time        Class

10-11    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.

11-12     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.

12-1 	 Intermediate 15th Century Italian Dance


1-2         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!


2-3          Dance Etiquette, Improvisation and Ornamentation
Meistres Julian ferch Rhys
  Dance isn't just about the choreography 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.


3-4        Intermediate 16th Century Italian Dance
This session will take a look at Cesare Negri, Caroso's partner-in-
crime.

4-5          Dance Class Redux
  This  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.

Photos from H & S this weekend.

If you have a minute, check out these photos from my Webshots photo
album! Excuse the cross posting to those who belong to all the same
elists as I do.

I have tried posting the particular album links from webshots, but it
won't let me do that. I am not sure if it is an anti-spam filter from
yahoo or webshots, but when you try to put in an address like al-
barran @ yahoogroups.com in the webshots mailer, it balks. I would
have to individually mail each of you, and I doubt most of you want
to see these photos.

Instead, go to http://community.webshots.com/user/squidgete8 and link
on " heralds and scribes 2004 " or " SCA H & S 2004 food " You can
ignore the personal photos, photos from my school, and locked albums.

The photos in the two listed albums were all taken this weekend at
Heralds and Scribes. I wanted to get the wide variety of garb shown
during the day and lots of the dancing at the ball. I also tried to
get all the lovely silent auction items. Most of these didn't have
the right lighting.

The only thing that isn't at least somewhat blurry is the shots of
the wonderful food spread. Unfortunately, I took so many photos that
at least one person decided NOT to photograph the lunch spread.

Which is TOO bad, the food was so lovely it deserves a far better
camera than mine to take pictures. (Especially all the heraldic
cookies.)

My little ixla camera takes terrible pictures (but it was a cheap
digital, so you get what you pay for!) Most of the photos, and all
the ones at the dance came out so muddy and dark you can only tell
who people are if you can identify the clothing.

And no, this does not include the one embarrassing picture that was
taken in the park on Sunday. I have that one as wallpaper. he he he

Greetings friends,

I'm sorry if you get this more than once but want to get the info to as many
as possible.  My good friend and neighbor is getting out of the job sewing
business and is downsizing her shop.  She is offering her walking foot
Singer for sale.  I have used this machine and it works great.  It is old
but in good workable condition, ready to go to work.  I am putting this on
the list as a favor to her as she has let me use her shop many times for SCA
stuff, hence I am familiar with the machine.

The machine is a Singer model# 111W155,  The serial number is W1294770 so
you can research the date of manufacture from Singer.  She is asking $400
cash.  Terms will be arranged but she needs the cash soon, pickup of the
machine is in Durango, CO.  There is no manual but they are offered through
Singer and I have seen several offered on e-bay.

This machine is a walking foot type, meaning that the presser foot also
advances with the feed dogs below.  The mechanics are a bit more complex but
I have first hand experience with this machine.  It behaves well with canvas
such as used in tents, I did make a tent on this machine a couple of years
ago.  It has a control for stitch length and sews a good straight stitch.
The owner has sewn leather belting such as on feedbags for horses and it
works well.  It will handle heavy thread, she regularly uses size 135 nylon,
which is very stout.

The table is included, it has a work light, thread stand for two cones, a
bobbin winder, a few needles and extra bobbin.  The motor runs on 110v,
regular house current.  The motor runs very smooth and quiet.  The machine
is equipped with a safety clutch in case you get into something very hard,
you will not destroy the machine workings, a great feature.

I personally have lusted for this machine the past couple of years but I got
the opportunity to buy a very new/used machine at a much higher price.  I
would recommend this machine to anyone needing something to sew heavy
fabrics and sew them well.  It ought to run for a very long time in the
future, hence I recommend it to you now.

I have pictures posted on my webshots site, go to the Singer 111W155 album
at this address: http://community.webshots.com/user/mtnsounds

Happy creative sewing,
Sean, mka Morris

All kinds of stuff.  Which end of NJ are you on?  I do have a few web pages
bookmarked for the East coast, but none for NJ.  I know there are regular
workshops in Hartford, CT., and Phili has an active dance community (or used
to).  Carolingia (Boston, MA) is the Mecca of period dance, if that isn't too
far.  Since the Outlands is in the Rocky Mountains, most of us won't be too up
on what's happening in NJ.  Unfortunately, I don't know much about the SCA in
NJ, but I know people who know people.

New Jersey in in the East Kingdom, so you might look through their web page at
http://www.eastkingdom.org (you will probably have to go to the local group
pages to find out about local practices, however).

If you can wait a few months - and cross PA, then you have access to over
1000 hours of A & S classes at Pennsic this August.  There will be several days
of dance classes, too, with balls pretty much every night of the second week
(mostly in the dance floor tent).

Keith / Guillaume    S:}>

P.S. I turned up an A & S event 4/17 in Riverton, NJ with a quick web search.
Checking their web page (http://www.ironbog.eastkingdom.org/) - they are
holding a ball tonight!  Their regular dance practice is on 1st Tuesdays.

PPS. The Barony of Carolingia is holding an "Epic Masked Ball" Sunday afternon
4/18 ("Costumes and masks are highly encouraged but not required," although I
assume that the usual SCA costumes are required).  Dance classes are
specifically listed in the Carolingian event announcement, and there is no site
fee.  The site is accessible via commmuter rail (don't know if that helps).

al-Barran May Day Celebration
Barony of al-Barran
Battan Park, NW corner of Lomas & Carlisle, Albuquerque, NM
Sunday, May 2, A.S. XXXIX (2004)
Site opens at 9 AM and closes at 5 PM
No site fee and the site is dry

It’s May!  It’s May!  The lovely month of May!  Come join us in a May Day Celebration  at a mini-renaissance faire, hosted by the al-Barran Court Dancers.  The day before, May 1st, is also the 39th Anniversary of the Society for Creative Annachronism.  So this event will be not only a celebration of the coming of spring and May Day, but also a celebration of our SCA, Outlands and al-Barran history, a honoring of the individuals who have made our barony so rich, a celebration of the performing arts, a welcoming of newcomers, and a special tribute to our children.  We promise you a visually rich, fun, heart warming, educational, and magical day!

There will be dancing around two Maypoles, court dancing, middle eastern dancing, drumming, a “May Day Household Dance Competition”, singing, story telling, and puppetry.  There will also be period games for adults and children, a heavy weapons tourney, a rapier tourney, merchants, a SCA items swap meet (clean out your collection of “SCA items” and bring them to swap, sell, or give away to newcomers and others) and classes for newcomers and others, along with regular fighter practice.   We will also be serving lunch and lemonade.

We encourage you to wear your garb to this event and bring your period games, musical instruments, feast gear, pillows, blankets, and chairs to sit on, as there will be lots of entertainment in the Town Square!  Please also bring your period pavillions and banners to put around the “town square” and add to your own comfort and the renaissance faire ambiance.  We are looking for individuals or households to sponsor and put on a heavy weapons tournament and a rapier tournament.      If you are interested in helping with setup at 8am or teardown at 5pm, hosting a tournament, merchanting, entertaining, telling stories, putting on a children’s activity or helping with one, putting on a puppet show, telling us about our al-Barran and Outlands history, heralding, or teaching a class, please contact Lady Barbara. All volunteers will be very, very appreciated!  We will have special events and classes for newcomers, so this is a wonderful event to invite newcomers, children and your friends to.   Come and make merry and contribute your talents and gifts to make this a Magical Day!

Tentative schedule for the “town square” (subject to change) is:  8am setup,   9am Maypole and Court Dancing,   10am Household Dance Competition,   11am Heavy Weapons Tounament,   12pm Entertainment and lunch,   1pm--Classes:  Newcomer, al-Barran History, and Other,   2pm Rapier Tournament,   3pm Maypole Dancing, Court Dancing, and Entertainment,   4pm Newcomer and Other Classes,   5pm teardown.  Throughout the day, there will be adult and children’s period games, children’s activities, light and heavy weapons fighter practice, shopping at the  merchants and “SCA Items Swap Meet”, and  middle eastern dancing and drumming.

For the May Day Household Dance Competition, there will be six dance categories for adults and youth:  court dance,  maypole dance, and middle eastern dance.   To enter this Household competition, a household does not have to have dancers in each of the six categories and they may have more than one entry in a given category (for example they may have two groups of dancers dancing different dances in the original court dance adult division.)  Individuals, not affiliated with a household, may also enter this dance competition.  Prizes will be awarded to the winners of each dance competition, as well as to the winning household.  A sound system that plays CDs and audio tapes will be provided on May 2nd.

The al-Barran Court Dancers, who are sponsoring this Household Dance Competition, will give private court dance lessons to your household at the park on Sundays during fighter practice or elsewhere.    We will also make copies of the court dance music (just bring an audio tape to the park) and even help you in selecting court dances for your household  dance performing groups of two, three, four, six, eight, members or more.  Maypole dance practices will be at fighter practice park on Sundays 4/4, 4/18 and 4/25 with  maypole practice for everyone, 12:30-2:30pm.  Households may reserve time before or after these times on these dates for working out their own maypole dances.  Please contact Lady Barbara,  for private dance lessons, and for reserving private time for your Household to practice and work out dances with the maypoles.  We also strongly recommend that your maypole dance correographers attend some of the maypole dance practices, to figure out how the maypole streamers react to different moves by the dancers.

Directions:  Take I-40 in Albuquerque to the Carlisle exit.  Exit onto Carlisle and go south on Carlisle to Lomas.  Turn right (west) at the light onto Lomas and go just past the Walgreens to  Battan Park.  For further information, go to our website at http://www.al-Barran.org/mayday04.html, or contact the autocrat, Lady Barbara (Barbara Krege) at krege@..., 505-293-7453.

Sorry ... someone seems to be using this list as a personal calendar.  There is
no need for everyone to go and visit a barber. :)

However, I have added a reminder for Caerthen Dance Practice on the first
Tuesday of the month at Englewood Public Library.  Don't know what our schedule
is going to be for practices up at Scola after next month, so I didn't add a
reminder for those; we can remedy that when we know better what's going on.

Thanks, and I now return you to your regularly scheduled list.

Tent), which is located just off of the list field in the “Town Square”.
  Each day, there will be a hour break for lunch from noon to 1 pm, so

be provided for the children at the C&Y Tent, however, we will provide
drinks for the children during the day, so please send a cup or mug with
your child.  All children & youth, ages 5 to 14, who wish to participate

Tent, prior to their first activitity of the weekend, & sign them up
(starting at 8am Friday morning) giving us valuable information as to

for the weekend per child, to help with these activities, and the parent
or guardian can sign up for their volunteer hour or hours at the C&Y
Tent.  Please note,  that nine classes have a maximum number of students
& you can sign up for these classes in advance, at the C&Y tent starting

Form”, a copy of which they should carry with them. For the latest
schedule of activities and classes, please pick up the "General
Information and Schedule of Classes and Activities for Children, Youth
and Teens at Outlandish" one page flyer at the gate, when you check in,
or at the Children and Youth Tent, off of the Town Square.

Please note: If you are bringing a child (under the age of 18) to
Outlandish, and you are not the child’s parent or guardian, then you
must present at the gate two forms, both pre-signed by the child’s
parent or legal guardian in order for this child to attend this event:
1) a “Child Guardian Consent Form” which also has to be already
notarized by a Notary Public (there will not be a notary on site) and 2)
a “Medical Authorization for Minors.” If you are bringing more than one
child, each child must have his or her own set of the two separate
forms. You can find a copy of these two forms under this Outlandish
website’s “Forms” link.

Susan is the wonderful teacher that we had for our Caroso Workshop two years
ago.  I also have her "Il Piantone" music and instructions.  I think it is a
little easier than Ballo del Fiore, but has built in options for variations
that let you show off a bit, if you want.

Arwen, Robert of Deerbourne, and I have taught this dance for the last several
years, originally as "Il Piantone," but now as "The Pinwheel Dance" (to avoid
confusion with the Caroso dance).  The Pinwheel is so trivially easy that I
have actually replaced it with Susan's "una Caccia da farsi in Routa" ('a chase
done in a wheel').  Susan's dance is taken directly from Negri's Caccia
without the dumbing down found in The Pinwheel.  This version is still very
easy, but it keeps the simple Italian Renaissance steps, so it looks more
elegant (and more period).

I have recently started researching and learning the rest of La Caccia d'Amore
(which has five parts, of which one is "da farsi in Routa").  Expect to see
more of this in the next 6-8 months.

Caerthen Dance Practice

Date: Tuesday, June 1, 2004
Time: 6:30PM - 9:00PM MDT (GMT-06:00)

Caerthen Dance Practice at the Englewood Public Library

Katriana,

In regards to instruments, are non-period, aucosic instruments
acceptable?  I have been playing much of the music below with a group
here in al-Barran (Albuquerque, NM)on a clarinet...I transcribe the
music as the clarinet is not in the key of C, but Bb.

In Service,
Lyneya del Filde

To get a firm answer, you would need to ask on the Calontir Dance list, since
that is where the original Lillies announcement appeared.

I can, however, offer my observations:  acoustic instruments are generally
acceptable in pick-up groups, and I think it very unlikely that a clarinet would
be a problem at Lillies.  I think I know some of their musicians, and they
don't strike me as the sort to be snobbish about period instruments.

Of course most SCA musicians would probably prefer period instruments, just as
any of us would like nicer garb, a bigger house, brilliant children, etc.  That
doesn't mean baroque or classical instruments are forbidden, just that we all do
the best we can with what we have.  Personally, I'd find a saxophone
distracting, but I can't think of any other common acoustic instrument that
serious musicians might bring that I'd have a problem with (not that I have any
say at Lillies anyway).  (Kazoos are probably bad, but you knew that).

> >    From: "Katriana" <calonkat@...>

> > http://members.cox.net/calonkat/Lilies2004/

Since the Lillies dance / music coordinator(s) chose to post the music for
others to practice, that must mean they welcome drop ins.  Since very few people
can afford period instruments, and the organizers did not make a point of
requiring them, I expect you'll be OK with what you have.

If you want to be extra sure, email Katriana directly.

If you get a chance, practice with some of the musicians at Lillies prior to the
ball.  This will let you see how they are used to performing the pieces (tempo,
improv., etc.).  It will also let them get used to you and learn something of
your abilities.  If you do a beautiful job with the melody line for a dance,
they may ask you to play lead at the ball.  If you show up at the ball and
they've never seen you before, they'd have no way to know what you're
comfortable doing or how well you'd do with their arrangements.  Besides, you
can get to know them better (make new friends) in an informal situation that at
a ball where there isn't a lot of time for talking.

Just a few thoughts from a dancer that has never been to Lillies, hasn't been to
Pennsic in years, but has gone to 3 of 4 KW Dance Symposia and does work with
local musicians from time to time.

I'm not in charge of the musicians this year, but it's
ok with me :-)  I, myself, play a plastic baroque
recorder, usually see-through green (it's my newest
one) so authenticity very important to me (joke!)

Seriously, it is having the live dance music that is
important, not the exact method of production.  Bring
battery lights if you've got 'em, we play by "torch"
light.

I put up the Noteworthy Composer files to make it
easier for those who have the program and need to
transpose music to do so.  I can do it for you if you
need me to.  I've always played "C" instruments
though, you might remind me of where to move them to
(if the first note is "C", make it "Bflat", right?
Just move each line down 2 half steps?)

Caerthen practice tonight (Tuesday, 7/6/04) at the Englewood Public Library.
The web page has finally been updated at:

Sorry for the delay - for some reason I am unable to upload changes from home,
so we had to find a work around.
