In Person:

Thanks to everyone for getting frocked up for our partial dress rehearsal (corsets, farthingales, doublets, petticotes - the troublesome bits, worn over street clothes).

We had several good runs through our set, and determined where our clothes require extra attention.

Detailed rehearsal notes have been added to last week's blog.

Present: Katherina, Katherine, Caterine, Anna, William de Cameron

I had great fun fencing at Cluain's Hastilude yesterday.  Attendance was good with myself, Don William, Don Martuccio, Cassia and new scholar Robert all having a play.  For William and me it was really our first chance to try longsword combat at speed.  It was great fun, but it will take a little while for the instincts to adjust to this weapon form.  I'm looking forward to doing a lot more.

In service,

This month's Hastilude provided a lovely opportunity for some after-dinner dancing.

What we did (with links to instructions):

Once again, we spent the whole evening rehearsing for our upcoming performance at Somervell Presbyterian's Daytime Concert Series, on May 5th. Two rehearsals to go . . .

We've been a bit slack about blog updates, but we've welcomed a couple of new fencers (and welcomed back and old friend), so there's been a bit of repetition.

But this week we moved on to looking at some examples of Handtarbeit (Handwork) from Meyer.

We decided and rehearsed dances for our upcoming performance at Somervell Presbyterian Church's Saturday Concert Series, on May 5th.

Present: Katherina, William de Cameron, Katherine, Anna, Caterine

What we danced tonight:

We had a full evening, in spite of several of us being rather tired.
