Subject: [SCA-Dance] OT: Dancer Musician Compendium - Participant Request

Excuse the band-width and cross posting.  I'm trying to open this up to as many people as possible.

Hello All!

I am in the process of creating a (unofficial*) Dancer-Musician Compendium, in an effort to bring the Dance & Music Communities closer together. 

As it stands travelling dancers and musicians have a difficult time obtaining information on:

* Practice locations
* Individuals in charge of practices
* Musical groups
* Local variations of dances and music

And, new dancers and musicians have may not have the contacts and resources to find:

* Research that is being done by their peers
* Valid books and/or websites that can help them with their own research

For these reasons, and to make both dancers and musicians more accessible within the SCA and the world at large, I would appreciate it if active dancers and musicians (of any skill level) would please complete the appropriate form(s), and email them to me at the email address provided on the forms.

The forms are located here: http://www.originsofplayforddance.com/dancer_musician_compendium.htm.

Please remember, I am not a web designer, so they are a little more crude than those found on the Yahoo Group, which can be downloaded and completed in-form.

To keep current on all updates and information, you are also invited to join the Dancer Musician Compendium Yahoo Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dancer-musiciancompendium/

The current goal is to have the inital site up by the beginning of January.  Profiles will continue to be accepted after the website goes live.

I look forward to your support and participation.  Please feel free to forward this on to other dancers and musicians that you know, who may be interested in becoming involved.

Yours in Service,

Lady Jane Milford, OM

* It's called unofficial because, while allowed by the SCA, it is not an official document of the SCA.

Subject: Letter of Dance

Greetings from Elisa, editor of the Letter of Dance, and Gregory, her minion and Laurel!
 
We are trying to re-invigorate the Letter of Dance. We're hoping to find someone in each kingdom to facilitate finding authors and reviewers of Letter of Dance articles. You don't need to be a dance expert to be a facilitator -- you just need to be plugged in to the dance community of your kingdom. The workload will probably amount to only a couple of emails per week, after an initial flurry of activity.
 
For authors, we're looking to identify people who are actively doing reconstructions, or other stuff which would make good articles. Or perhaps someone who has already written an article published in a local or Kingdom newsletter.
 
For reviewers, we're looking for people who are well-read and well-studied in one or more of the main genres of dance. Some of the reviewers will also be potential authors. Reviewers don't need to be uber-experts already -- reviewing can be a great way to learn.
 
Are you interested in being the facilitator for your kingdom? If not, can you suggest someone else?

You can check out the existing website at:
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/lod/

Many thanks!

I am forwarding this from Lady Beibhinn, who teaches every Monday either court dancing or middle eastern dancing at the College of Blaiddwyn (UNM), in Albuquerque.  She will also be teaching three hours of court dancing at al-Barran's A&S Collegium, Saturday 11/21.  Thank you Beibhinn for these wonderful resources.

Subject: [blaiddwyn] places to get dance steps

It was requested that I post which sites I know of that one can go and get some of the steps to dances.  I have placed a couple that I know of below:
This one has my laurels info of dances that she has translated and written out for use
http://www.knightscrossing.org/html/en/judith.html

Some more dance sites I have used with varying levels of accuracy and clarity on steps:

http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/~praetzel/Joy_Jealousy/
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/dance.html
http://downloads.cynnabar.org/

A couple of the others I have are not working.  If you really want to know dance then the site below shows you some of the books that are best for the dances you are interested in:

http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeryeh4/dance/rendance.html#15cDesc

most dance people get the books and then create their own translations which is why there is debate and difference in some of the finer points of the dances and steps.  I am presently in the process of doing this and using the information to improve my own dance.  I hope this helps as right now with all I have on my plate I am not up to re doing these dances for our web page but will put that on the things to do list for this next year.
Beibhinn

I am forwarding to you an announcement that includes the dance list for the Court Dance Ball at UNM.

Greetings to all court dancers and musicians in the Outlands from THL Jayne Barber, dance instructor in al-Barran,

Subject: [AtenDance] Estrella War Ball set lists

The final set lists and sheet music for the Balls at Estrella War have been posted at:

http://members.cox.net/lejon/sca.html

This year there are three balls: a Beginners' Ball on Wednesday evening, the Grand Ball on Friday evening, and the Caroso Ball on Sunday afternoon.

The Grand Ball is where we get the most dancers and musicians.  Dances will be taught and dancers of all levels are welcome.  Any musicians who are interested are welcome to join us to provide live music.  There will be several rehearsal opportunities to choose from (times TBA) but you are welcome to play even if you are unable to make any rehearsals.

The Beginners' Ball is designed with beginners in mind and will introduce simple dances, taught by our ever-patient Mistress Jeanne.  Most of the dances will be repeated at the Grand Ball on Friday.  Any musicians willing to play standard repertoire on short notice, please contact me.

The Caroso Ball is a period-style ball where the dancers choose the dances.  A list of dances that the musicians are prepared to play will be provided, along with a "cheat sheet" of dance steps.  There will be no teaching at this ball; it is intended for dancers already familiar with the dances.  There will be little time to rehearse the extended list of potential dance music, so any musicians interested in playing the Caroso Ball will have to practice in advance.  Please contact me if you are a musician interested in playing this ball.

Greetings to all Outlands Court Dancers and Court Dance Instructors!

 

Below is a link to the 2009 Known World Dance Symposium dance notes.  I have downloaded it, and it is a pdf format, 7.14 MB and 236 pages long.  It is an interesting window into the thoughts of those who love court dancing, some of whom I was privileged to meet at Pennsic. It also includes dance instructions and other interesting material for about 90 court dances. 

 

I recommend that you download these notes, before it is taken off-line.   I have never seen the KWDS notes offered for free before in the 10 years I have been on various court dance discussion lists.  Feel free to forward this message.

With great pleasure, I am forwarding this email to you.  I had the opportunity to attend Pati's Regency dance classes years ago and had a delightful time and I highly recommend this class on Sunday July 25.  For those not familiar with Regency Dance, this would be early 19th century dance.

 

Please be sure to bring shoes that have not been worn on the street -- such as ballet slippers, dance shoes, or houseshoes.

At the request of the Jane Austen book club and the JASNA, I'll be teaching Regency Dances at the DTSW Studio on July 25 from 2-5PM.  It would be wonderful to have some experienced dancers there, which is why I'm inviting you to join us!  No costumes, but ladies might enjoy the feel of skirts swirling about their limbs.

No street shoes, please.  This is to protect the studio floor from scratches.

The Dance Theatre Southwest (DTSW) studio is at 4200 Wyoming NE, Suite B-2, on the east side of Wyoming between Comanche and Montgomery.

As usual, a contribution of a dollar or two from each attendee would be welcome.

Subject: pennsicdance: [SCA-Dance]  The Future of KWDS, part 3?

So, I was busy with dance floor deconstruction during the discussion at
Pennsic this year, but I got the quick synopsis afterwards, so for anyone
who hasn't heard, here it is:  (oh, and please correct me if I am getting
anything wrong, or missing important details).

1.  Deonna is planning on proceeding with a bid for 2013 for her KWDS in NY
state.  (Concordia of the Snows)

2.  Judith is proposing a European KWDS in 2015.  (Germany I think)

And of course there is no change to the plan of Felice running her's in 2012
in Ohio.


I'm assuming that 2014 will be a year of rest, so everyone can save up for
Germany, but I didn't get the full details of the discussion.  Likewise, I'm
not certain if anything was proposed / decided for 2016 or 2017.  (for those
who plan their lives that far in advance)  :P


Oh, and I have to still put this info up, but just to let people know, I do
have an unofficial KWDS website as a landing page for all these, and a
reference for old KWDS information.
http://kwds.org/

Number 7 is up there as well again, and though it needs to be cleaned up a
bit, the links are there for our compendium of class notes, in case anyone
wants them.  (this includes some Gresley info that Emma and Martin have been
working on, as I know this came up in some discussions at recent events).
  Though I think they will be making their full notes available soon too.

BTW, if anyone has any comments / suggestions regarding the generic KWDS
landing page, feel free to let me know.  My eventual plans are to be able to
host future KWDS websites for people, if they'd like to save the money and
some setup, as well as hopefully refining what we've done so far to get a
better template going  (so that we don't have to reinvent the wheel each
time, at least for class and teacher listings).

Oh, and this link will also go to the same place, since the name is somewhat
flexible:
http://kwdms.org/


Ok, I think that's about it for now / all I know.  Feel free to discuss!  :)
