Storvik's Performer's Revel
(2009-04-18 - Site opens at 11:00 AM & Closes at 11:59 PM)
Storvik

Continuing a tradition whose origin is lost in the mists of time, the ancient and venerable Performers’ Revel will take place in the vast halls of Caer Bear. This is an event OF performers FOR performers BY performers! The call goes out to all musicians, singers, poets, dancers, actors, storytellers, jugglers, and other practitioners of the performing arts. Novice performers are particularly encouraged. Are you perhaps reluctant to perform before a packed and noisy hall? Then this event is especially for you! By long-standing tradition, we have no audience—everyone who attends must contribute at least one performance. But fear not! The definition of “performance” is quite elastic.

Give it a try!

Surely the efforts of the Bards ensure immortality, for good or ill. To be sure that the deeds and glories of Storvik are properly remembered, the Baron and Baroness will be selecting their Bardic Champion during the day. Their Excellencies enjoy a good tale and song, so plese let them know of your willingness to serve.

Practicalities: By ancient custom, the revel will be held at the home of Baron Igor Bear and Baroness Fevronia Murometsa. The site is wet (as long as you are 21 or older) and very cheap! The hall opens at 10 am, performances usually start around noon and continue until the last vestiges of energy run out. The only fee is $12 to cover the feast—Baron Igor will conduct his traditional proof that cooking is indeed a performing art! (NOTE BENE: small children may find the need to sit quietly rather tedious, so parents may want to make appropriate childcare arrangements.) Performances are required of all attendees
