As you plan for winter holidays, forget not the Feast of Fools! It is in that spirit of revelry and spectacle that today we turn to challenges of Performance and the Arts that accompany it:
- Mistress Lakshmi invites you to create a moment in time; use performance in persona to transport your audience to elsewhere and elsewhen!
- Mistress Catrin invites you to design a mumming, masque, or disguising; be it diorama, sketches, finger puppets, or other modality of your choosing, explain to her your theatrical vision!
- Master Peregrine challenges you to write and perform a brand new original piece of music in a style that existed before the year 1600; create something never before heard!
- Mistress Anne asks you to present a performance of an existing piece of historical text - sung or spoken, bring the words of our ancestors to life!
- Master Christian invites you to compose and present a poetic dialog - perform it in any way that makes the two (or more!) voices distinct and clear for your hearers!
- Master Lucien invites you to consider the Robert ap Huw manuscript and perform - on the harp - any single piece from that manuscript!
These and many other challenges await you at the Laurels' Prize Tourney in Carolingia this coming March. Come and grace our stage - the audience for performances will be open to all attendees!
