Unfortunately, I just accepted a mundane commitment that is going to
frequently overlap the start of Populace - so I will be late, most
meetings. However, I would love to teach - and to learn. Plan on my
classes starting at 7:45-8pm.
I could teach:
"Making your Encampment more Period on a Budget". It's how to make a
mundane camp look more medieval without investing in expensive re-
enactment pieces - using stuff you already have at home or can pick
up cheaply.
"Building your Persona" - which is a class appropriate for a
newcomer trying to pick a name, yet with questions that will help an
old-timer stretch his or her persona to a new level.
I could also offer my 3-part, taboo-subject Enchanted Ground series:
"Politics, Sex, and Religion". It's a chance to try to talk "in
persona" for a bit, about one of the taboo polite conversation
topics. For example: the gossip about the royal court (from your
time-period, not the Ansteorran court, please), what you would look
for in a good wife/husband (again, minds out of the gutter, please),
or how you plan to celebrate All-Saint's Eve (see above warnings -
there are children about). We pick one subject per session, and
simply hold a conversation. It takes a bit of homework, which I
could post or publish the month before - but I bring books so those
who procrastinate can have a quick cram session & join in when they
are ready.
I could also offer (with the help of my "students"?) a re-run of the
best of each month's Sheep-to-Shawl classes. Maybe Blue Sheep Soup,
as a starter?
In Service to the Dream,

(still pronounced "Wyllow" - the "c" is silent. Good luck on the rest.)
