We've now filled the class schedule for Bardic Madness South VI. Barring surprises, this is the class schedule for this year.

Class session 1 (11 to 12):
Improv Games John Inchingham Theatrical improvisation - deigned to help you learn to think on your feet.
Bardic Habitat Restoration Project Cerian Cantwr Round table discussion about ways to encourage and support the bardic arts in your area.
Acting Shakespeare Sofia Tyzes Ways of performing and acting in Shakespeare plays.
Sephardic Music Eliane Halevy Discover the music of those descended from the Iberian Jews of the time of the Expulsion. It's catchy, melodic and why does it sound so Middle Eastern? Eliane will tell you why.


Class session 2 (1:30 to 2:30):
Improv and Commedia Sophia the Orange Use of Improv skills in Commedia dell' Arte.
Boudhran & Bones Alexander de Seaton Basics on how to play a boudhran or a pair of bones.
Snorri Sturlusson & Historical

Fólki Rusli Þorgilsson The writings of Snorri Sturlusson and others.
Bardic Fieldwork Owen Alun Finding topics to write about in your daily life and activities.
Pink Ribbon Challenge Pieter Van der Eiken A bardic pink ribbon challenge from the baronial bard of Shattered Crystal. Challengers will perform a song, story, or poem and invite Pieter to respond with a piece that is some way related (this is a variant of the Bardic Uno game that has been being played in Northshield). Pieter will have his bardic book with him and will have a short time to come up with a response. Go ahead and dust off your favorite odd or obscure pieces, then come and play stump the bard. Note: when choosing your material, please keep in mind that it's daylight, no alcohol is being served, and that some listeners may be kids - reasonable sanity checks should be applied.
