Seeking Later Period Camps for the Period Timeline-

To help visually display the diversity of times and cultures the Society of
Creative Anachronism covers, we're setting up a Period Timeline on the
Promenade.

In it, those dedicated to persona development and encampments can display
their persona and culture.

We are nearly filled with the earlier periods and personas and would really
like to round out the collection with more later period features.

If you have a later period encampment and would like to join the timelime (
and really amazing camping space) then please fill out the following form:

Horses are a big part of our SCA pageantry. Equine games, or Royals riding
into ceremonies or court, like we see in the photo below. But there's more.

There's the Carousel!

Mistress Peryn Rose Whytehorse of Meridies explained on the Performing Arts
list, and we're sharing it here:

"Carousels are late period entertainments that usually included music,
dance, poetry, theater, and (most popular) the Ballet a Cheval (equine
ballet).

In simple terms, it's horses/riders doing figures to music.

The first documented Carousel was in 1585, in France. Heavily influenced by
French Ballet du Cour (Court Dance, which involved stylized geometric
forms), the rising interest in the Art of Horsemanship, and the ever
present desire to influence and intimidate through Entertainment, the late
period Carousel is a true spectacle.

Our SCA equestrians have been working on their riding skills for several
years to prepare for the 50th year Carousel performance on Friday, June 24
at Noon."
