For the Fighters
How many times have you watched a fight, and not been sure who won when it was over?  How many times have you seen the fighters salute each other at the end of a fight, and wondered who struck the fatal blow?  Fighters and fencers pay heed!  At the upcoming Performers and Dance Symposium, I'm going to be teaching a class on Dying with Style!  There have been many tourneys in the past where there is a *best death* competition.  One of the reasons for this is to encourage fighters and fencers to fall down dramatically if/when you're killed!  Having done, and coached, gymnastics for several years, I'm very adept at falling down, and teaching people how to fall down safely.  Also in the class will be discussions on other methods of dying impressively (with props and such).  The foremost focus on dying in style is, of course, safety.  Don't do anything that will make the chiurgeon want to kill you (i.e. ketchup packs that burst when you get hit so it looks like your bleeding).  Fighting
 is a performance art, and if you don't win the fight, you can still win the crowd!  No fighting will be done during this class.

Macbeth Auditions

Children's Fun
There is a 2-hour Children's Theater class in the morning that will have an opportunity to perform at the end of the lunch break.  There will also be fun Children's Corner activities in the afternoon.  Kids can have a great time at this event, too!
 
Evening Activities
Following the scrumptious feast, there will be a concert of performances organized by Mistress Anne of Carthew.  If you're interested in performing, please email her at anneATravenstreet.org or sign up during the day at the event.  The Baron and Baroness of Ponte Alto will be selecting their new Baronial Bard during the evening performances.  Those entering the Baronial Bard competition are encouraged to contact Mistress Anne in advance since the concert schedule is filling up fast.  After the concert, the festivities will move back into the hall for an hour of dancing, with live music, organized by Lady Katherine.
