CR - Persona Class Mini-series at Univ of Houston Fighter Practice, starting Tuesday

[Wendy Freeman/Otte]

A Mini-Series of Persona Classes
taught by Lady Wyllow MacMuireadhaigh

Class 1: The Basics of Persona Development
--------
When: Tues, Nov 28, 7:30-9:30pm
Where: Univ. of Houston Fighter Practice, in the crook of the "U"-tree.

For those new to the SCA (and those wishing to add some depth to a basic
persona), a 2-hour class will be offered at the University of Houston Fighter
Practice the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving.  This first course will cover
the basics of developing your persona for the SCA, some of the pitfalls to
avoid in choosing a persona, and how to "play" your persona at SCA events. 
Bring a chair and your ideas.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The classes on the next three Tuesdays are short open-forum discussions, meant
to challenge all gentles in the SCA, from newcomer to founding member, to
expand their persona just a little beyond their current comfort level.  I have
purposely chosen the three taboo areas of polite conversation, since they are
usually the primary external influences that shape a person.  I encourage each
gentle to do some initial research on his/her own timeperiod/locality, to
share in the open forum.  The more each gentle brings to the discussion, the
more we will all take away from it.


Class 2: Politics and your Persona
--------
When: Tues, Dec 5, 8:00-8:30pm (wander in & out as you like)
Where: Univ. of Houston Fighter Practice, in the crook of the "U"-tree.

We will explore the idea of incorporating the politics of a time/locality into

Where: Univ. of Houston Fighter Practice, in the crook of the "U"-tree.
