Crosss Game Bardic & Performance Circle

29 Sunday Nov 2020

Posted by aethgazette in Bardic, SCA @ Home

≈ Leave a comment

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2020 AT 8 PM EST – 11 PM EST

Come, one and all (but not you), to your local neighborhood virtual performance circle! Whether you’d just like to listen, perform once, or any chance you get, please tune in.

We’ll do the Pick/Pass/Play format for a little more organization. The queue will consist of the attendees in how they appear in the list. On your turn, your options are to Pick someone else to go or request another piece/theme/etc., pass to the next person in line, or play meaning perform a piece of your choice.

Time slot: 11:00 pm EDT may be a soft boundary for ending the circle, depends on what the energy is like at the end.

Material/theme: There are no limits either to fantasy or historical, as we’ll have attendees from a variety of games. For Earth history, try to keep it pre 1800s, though modern folks with fantasy and historical material are fine. Game specific songs (about units, weapon building, fighting rules humor, etc.) are welcome, too. If you’re uncertain, feel free to ask the host. Stories, songs, poems, instrumental pieces–all are welcome!

SCA Bards Bring Beowolf To Zoom

29 Thursday Oct 2020

Posted by aethgazette in Announcements, Bardic, Event Announcements & Updates, SCA @ Home

≈ Leave a comment

On November 14 and 15, Beowulf the Ethereal Event will present all of Beowulf, performed live on Zoom.

https://www.eastkingdom.org/event-details/?eid=3693

Beowulf the Ethereal Event will feature the talents of 50 performers from 8 kingdoms: East, AEthelmearc, Atlantia, Ealdormere, Meridies, Midrealm, Northshield, and West.

The performance is being produced by the artistic team from Beowulf the Event (East Kingdom, 2011), Beowulf the Roadshow (Pennsic 2011 & 2012), and Njal’s Saga (AEthelmearc, 2017).

Beowulf the Ethereal Event will be livestreamed to the East Kingdom’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/SCAEastKingdomEthereal

The entire epic will be split into two performances:
Saturday night, Nov 14, starting at 7:30 p.m.
Sunday afternoon, Nov 15, at 2:00 p.m.

The poem tells the story of the hero Beowulf who rescues the Danes by killing the monstrous Grendel. He goes on to kill Grendel’s mother, become king, and then in his old age must face a dragon. Throughout the story, he learns lessons about kingship, feud, and the dangers inherent in fighting a monster

The performance will be presented with the natural, organic backgrounds of our homes such as bookshelves, workshops, home offices, kitchens, and living rooms.

We will tell the story without stage magic, but instead will use the available medium to bring Beowulf into the homes of the audience.

While the exact age of Beowulf is not known, the anonymously written poem is the earliest work of full scale English literature.

Beowulf consists of 3182 lines of poetry. It takes three and a half hours to perform it in its entirety.

The artistic team gratefully acknowledges the support of the East Kingdom Web Ministry, and the East Kingdom Ministry of Arts and Sciences.

The artistic team is:
Director: Master Toki Skáldagörvir (AEthelmearc)
Stage Manager/Company Manager: Mistress Jenevra de Carvalhal (East)
Academic and Literary Advisor: Prof. M. Wendy Hennequin (Tennessee State University, Nashville)
Assistant Director: Mistress Tyzes Sofia “Zsof” (Midrealm)
Assistant Director: Lucas Abernathy (East)

Director Toki Skáldagörvir is excited to be a part of the production.

“Beowulf is still relevant today. Leadership matters, well-earned loyalty is essential, and pride is a dangerous path,” Toki said, adding that Nietzche’s much later advice was true for Beowulf, and is true today, “Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster.”
