A worthy question! <br><br>There is myriad performance that is not vocal. Not all musicians consider themselves bards. Most dancers do not consider themselves bards. Of those who perform in The Baron's Men, for instance, only a few consider themselves bards.
<br><br>Heretofore, we've had no place to interface. Yes, there will probably be some cross posting. But it seems a small price to pay for coordinating us all.<br><br>Thanks for asking!<br><br>~ihon<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Um bards aren't limited to singers... I know of one person who does<br>Shaksperian monalogue. I know of at least one bardic competition that<br>is trying to GET all sorts of performers out there (Triumphe of the<br>Eclipse at Mooneschadowe) Thier competition is open to any performer
<br>of any kind as long as you've got one piece the audience can get in<br>on. You can juggle, act, anything. I fail to see how the performers<br>list and the bard's list differ to any great degree.<br><br>~Svetlana Andrejevna Volkova

<br>><br>> This is a hub for performing arts in the SCA kingdom of Ansteorra (Oklahoma<br>> and Texas). It's a place for dancers, musicians, bards and actors to find<br>> each other, to discuss, plan and advertise performances and practices, find
<br>> inspiration and share ideas about the entertainment we create. It's the hope<br>> that by gathering in one place we'll be able to combine our talents to<br>> create something greater.<br>> Feel free to add your practices and events to the calendar, ask a question,
<br>> or share something interesting about performing in the SCA.<br>> Enjoy!<br>><br>> The group is restricted (to minimize spam). If you have trouble applying to<br>> the group, please contact me (I am one of the moderators) and I will issue
<br>> you an invitation.<br>><br>> For many reasons, but especially given our recent discussion on of a kingdom<br>> performance event, I believe membership and participation in this group will<br>> enhance the performing arts in Ansteorra as well as our experience.
