Muokataan sivua Academia della Danza, 2008

Tapahtuma on SCA-keskiaikaseuran keskiaikatapahtuma, mutta osallistuakseen ei tarvitse olla seuran jäsen. Oikeastaan ainoa vaatimus seuran tapahtumissa on jonkinlainen keskiaikainen tai renessanssiaikainen, tai kohtalaisen uskottavasti keskiaika- tai renessanssihenkinen, asukokonaisuus.

Alla tietoa ensi kevään Academia della Danzasta.  Kyseessä on sama tapahtuma kuin viime 
keväänä, mutta tällä kertaa ei sijoitu pääsiäiseen. Viimekertaiseen tapahtumaan tuli 
varsin sankka osanotto Suomesta, toivon mukaan tällä kertaa vielä runsaampi!    Upea 
tapahtuma kaikin puolin, jossa pääsee tutustumaan myös muunmaalaisten tapaan tulkita 
lähteitä ja tanssia upeassa ympäristössä.

Below is the event announcement for your next chance for an entire weekend of 
terpsichorean revelry in a castle!

Judith


'''Academia della Danza

March 13-15, 2008'''

The right noble lord Baron of the Ancient
lands of Knights Crossing has declared that his subjects, noble in their
demeanour, should learn the ancient art of dance, that they may better grace
his court with knowledge of this gentler art. To this effect, he has hired sundry dance 
masters from lands far and wide to come and provide instruction. 
For one weekend, his holding, the Pfälzer Schloss, shall play host to a
school of dance, known in the tongue of more refined courts as an academia
della danza.  In addition to learning,
there shall be terpsichorean revels and a ball as no one has seen in many years,
together with gaming and revelry to sate the most hedonistic amongst us!  The lord baron 
bids one and all to come and partake!
'''
Site information:''' Pfälzer Schloss, Pfälzergasse, Gross Umstadt, Germany.

Site opens at 1600 on Friday, March 13, and closes on Sunday, March 15 at 17:00.  Site is 
wet (which could significantly aid the rhythmically challenged
in the pursuit of happiness….); there are no showers on site.  Site is limited to 110.

'''Classes:''' 
Classes will begin at 1800 on Friday evening.  The last class will finish at 15:00 on 
Sunday, March 15.  There will be two tracks of classes, to suit all tastes: a beginner 
track, and an intermediate/advanced track.

'''Ball:''' 
There will be a formal ball on Saturday evening following feast, which
will be a reconstruction of a ball chronicled in Ulm in 1503. 
After this, there will be a more
free-style dance revel until we can no longer dance!  Music will be provided by the one 
and only Gaita, a professional ensemble hailing from Edinburgh!

'''Food:''' There will be a hearty stew provided Friday evening, breakfast, lunch and feast on 
Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday (with leftovers from feast serving as lunch).

'''Sleeping arrangements:'''  There is crash space  (no bedding) in the lower hall on site in 
the castle (which is not heated).  Otherwise,
Gross Umstadt is a charming little medieval town with numerous reasonably
priced inns (reasonable = 50-90 EUR for a double room per night), one of which
sits directly across the street from the castle (they do speak English):

There is a second, significantly smaller
