<DIV>Like Celeste, I generally sing. I have performed poetry on occassion, but not often. Storytelling is my greatest weakness as far as performance. Strange indeed as I used to be a theater major who couldn't sing in front of an audience without her voice cracking. My very first time singing alone in front of people was in fact at my first event, Eldern Hils' Samhain, in a bardic competition.</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid; WIDTH: 100%">Dear fellow Bards<BR><BR>I am a new question. What do you perform in the SCA?<BR>I have been a story teller for most of my life. When I was ten I set up<BR>a story telling booth next to my girl friend's lemonade booth and made as<BR>much money as she did. When I started in the SCA I wasn't a performer. I<BR>was an organizer and an autocrat. I didn't really start to build my<BR>persona until I was in Ansteorra. When I started to work on my historical<BR>persona I realized that entertainment is part of the role of a person in<BR>the middle ages. Everybody did something. The gentle born were suppose<BR>to do more. People entertained themselves and it would of gotten really<BR>boring if everybody didn't perform . Who was that Saxon cleric who prayed<BR>to God to help him out because when the horn was passed to him he could<BR>not think of anything? As I advanced in the SCA I beca! me a patron of the<BR>bardic arts. In history you will find many nobles who did things like<BR>that, Robert of Normandy and Richard the Lionhearted. They usually<BR>participated in the art form. So my performance are part of my living my<BR>persona. <BR><BR>Willow de Wisp<BR><BR>________________________________________________________________<BR>The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!<BR>Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!<BR>Only $14.95/ month - visit www.juno.com to sign up today!<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Bards mailing list<BR>Bards@ansteorra.org<BR>http://www.ansteorra.org/mailman/listinfo/bards</BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><BR>
