Continuing a tradition whose origin is lost in the mists of time ... on
Saturday, February 19th, 2011, the ancient and venerable Performers' Revel will
take place in the vasty halls of Caer Bear. This is an event OF performers FOR
performers BY performers! The call goes out to all musicians, singers, poets,
dancers, actors, storytellers, jugglers and other practitioners of the
performing arts. Novice performers are particularly encouraged. Are you perhaps
learning a new art or skill? Are you perhaps reluctant to perform before a
packed and noisy hall? Then this event is especially for you! By longstanding
tradition, we have no audience - everyone who attends is encouraged to
contribute at least one performance. But fear not! The definition of
"performance" is quite elastic. Give it a try! In addition, this year
Performers' Revel will also feature as the venue for deciding our Storvik
Baronial Bardic Champion!
PRACTICALITIES: By ancient custom, the revel will be held at the home of Baron
Igor Bear and Baroness Fevronia Murometsa, 2204 Amber Meadows Drive, Bowie MD
20716. The site is wet (as long as you are 21 or older) and very cheap! The hall
opens at 10am, performances usually start around noon and continue until the
last vestiges of energy run out. The only fee is $12 to cover the feast - Baron
Igor will conduct his traditional proof that cooking is indeed a performing art!
[NOTE BENE: small children may find the need to sit quietly rather tedious, so
parents may want to make appropropriate childcare arrangements].
AUTOCRAT Information: our intrepid Baroness of Storvik, Baroness Sorcha will be
serving as autocrat. She can be contacted at ebpayne at yahoo.com .
