What is Bardic Skirmishes? A three-day virtual performing arts event filled with:
challenges to hone your abilities!
classes, roundtables, and workshops to learn and expand your knowledge!
fun activities to practice your skills and shenanigans!
bardic circles!
chances to hang out with your friends and chosen family from all over the world!
There is no pre-reg or sign-up in advance to attend, just hop on the Zoom! If you wish to offer a scheduled activity, please submit your awesome thing via the Activity Sign-up Form in the top right corner of your screen (found in the sidebar for mobile devices)!
Though this is a bardic event hosted in the Midrealm, all are welcome, no matter the kingdom or experience level, whether bard or not. We would love for you to join us!
We look forward to a wide variety of topics and activities throughout the event, but will lean into, and build upon, a certain theme each day.
Kingdom Anthems! Regional Anthems! Marching Songs, War Stories, and No $h!t, There I Was stories! Let us celebrate what makes us cheer, for we were Born On The List Field!
The Stories We Tell Children, the Work Songs, the Love Ballads, the Drinking Games... and the raucous bawdy yarns that make up the soundtrack of everyday life.
Myth and legend, songs of Life and Death, Spells and Incantations, tales of the Origin of the World and the Cycles of the Ages. The poet must hear the whispers on the wind, on behalf of those who cannot.
(Last year's themes were Improv, Poetry, and Storytelling)
Thank you for having compassion on our Schedulers! Submissions are closed until Bardic Skirmishes III!
