Heard about Bardic Madness, but been unable to attend? Now's your chance.
We are bringing one Fyt of Madness to Clown Tourney!
This is an excellent opportunity for new and experienced performers alike.
Any gentles wishing to participate as a supportive audience are most welcome to attend.
The purpose of the challenges is to encourage participants' creativity and artistic growth.
They are not meant to be competitions - everyone who takes part can consider themselves a winner.
It is our wish to create a "bardic safe zone" - a friendly place to feel free to experiment, stretch yourself, and try new things. If you are a new to bardic and performing arts, recently returning, or an experienced performer with new material; you'll be hard pressed to find a friendlier and more supportive audience. (See below for general rules!)
Mini Fyt of Madness:
Three Challenges for Clown Tourney (*Challenges may change/update)
Pass the Tale
All those who wish to participate get up together, and tell a tale from beginning to end. The challenge's patron will 'conduct' by pointing to the person whose turn it is to continue the tale, and deciding when it is time to end.
Blow Someone Else's Horn (*changed from Mazacroca)
Perform the work of another SCAdian. Extra applause for memorizing and for doing something that is not well-known. We’ll have a special chair up front for the author of your piece, if they are in attendance, to be recognized for their work.
Follow the Leader: Sing along with Snorri
Choose and perform a work (your own or someone else's) containing a chorus or refrain that will have the whole room singing or echoing merrily along.
If you are interested in being a patron for one of these challenges, please contact Lorelei Skye.
At Bardic Madness, every challenge has a different Patron; in general Patrons are the host/ess of a challenge. They are the ones who call up those signed for the challenge, and provide a small token those who perform.
Challenges are not contests. You win by entering and striving to do the best you can.
Challenges are designed to encourage you to try your hand at something new, to stretch yourself, to enjoy, and celebrate the creative spirit.
Read the guidelines for the challenges carefully, like most exercises, they are designed to help you develop in specific areas.
Try to follow them as closely as you can, but stretching them in unexpected directions is good too.
Individuals are welcome and encouraged to give recognition to those performers whom they especially enjoy.
In order to allow the largest number of people to participate, challenge entries shall be limited to 3-5 minutes or less for Poems and Songs, 5-7 minutes or less for stories - including any introduction or set up.
Each person may enter a maximum of one piece in each challenge and a maximum of two challenges.
(At the end of a challenge, if time is available extra performers may be called; these do not count towards the two.)
Groups of 2,3 or more performing together can appear together in up 2 challenges.
Individuals who participate in both group and solo performances are asked to use your best courtesy selecting challenges.
