I thoroughly enjoy the "Shakespearean" players and the ones who can have the olde english roll off their tongues.......but, to me, to blend subedetly 20th century phrases with olde english brings a sense of fracture fairytale to the stories as well as well knowing smiles. All aspects are fun...whether walking a Faire as a street actor or standing on a stage.........interaction is the joyeous goal. Worked Faires this summer...what a pleasure...now to see what the winter holds and offers.

Hello Everyone;

Please check your freindship request and either accept them or reject them. But please don't let them sit idle. If one hundred people do that, if keeps others from making new friends. Just go to your friends tabs, the little silloettes at the top right of your page, under your name and click it. I expect if you haven't found it by now... you may have many pending new friends.

Just a tip.
Buck

Greetings.
I have, obviously, just joined and have always loved the "method stroytellers" who dress the part and really live it. We get some of them here in Iceland but not as many as one might think... and they don't always know the myths and legends in their entirety.
I am always working on my telling of the great myths of the Poetic Edda, ironing out the proper kennings to use and polishing my knowledge of the Prose Edda (all the tales of Þór, Óðinn and the rest of the viking Gods). I like to see that others share my joy of the olde tales.

Hi Thomas and fellow Medievalists/Renaissance=style storytellers. I am so glad that this group is here. I am working on several Medieval and Renaissance-era stories to add to my repertoire. In Detroit, we have a phenomenal museum, The Detroit Institute of Arts which has a surprisingly good Medieval collection. In the lower level of the DIA, there is a Court--Kresge Court, which would be perfect for storytelling and I am trying to get the Director of the museum to let me do a couple of shows down there--especially for the Renaissance/Medieval program I am creating. This weekend is the first weekend of the Michigan Renaissance Festival. I am going to be there just to mix with other actors, although I am not on the performers roster this year. I may pass along some businesses there and drop off my brochures with their kind permission, of course. Or just leave them at the pub there. I do have some marketing questions with regards to Festivals. When is it considered illegal to solicit materials for personal gains at a big festival? Can I do marketing without being too conspicuous? Help please.

Blessed Be.
Rob

We love telling at Faire...don't get enough chance to do it often, but love that you all are here. Hazah!

So many groups so little time, but I am really into the historical side of storytelling. I do civil war period in costume and love that type storytelling. I also do wild west - something I got into becasue of my son, our competition crowd in Cowboy Mounted Shooting has become one of my test audiences. My wild west stories are fun to research and share. There are renasaince faires around here and I have been to one. It would be a great venue and I can see a great boasting voice carrying into the crowd and drawing listeners in. Someday we should meet at one of these and have a storytelling duel! Carolyn Stearns
