Virtual Arts & Sciences Classes for the Week of April 13
Happy Sunday, East Kingdom!
Tomorrow begins another week of virtual classes hosted by the Ministry of Arts & Sciences. Here are some of the options the artisans of the East are offering us this week:
Monday, April 13: Four Approaches for New Students of Historical Arms, 7:00 pm EDT. Join Don Lorenzo Gorla (Mike Goodman) for a brief overview of the tools and methodologies available for SCAdians interested in beginning their study in historical swordsmanship. Don Lorenzo will discuss four motivations potential students may have: practical, sporting, aesthetic, and historiographical, and propose methods and practices to approach the manuals to fulfill their particular objectives.

Though not hosted by the MoAS office, the East Kingdom College of Performers has got you covered for Thursday night:
Thursday, April 16: Third Thursday Online Bardic and Performing Arts Gathering. Join the EK CoP for an evening of online Bardic and Performing Arts Workshop and Practice. Come and work on your piece with a group, or just gather online with other performers! All experience levels welcome! All family friendly performances welcome! Friendly constructive feedback welcome! All performing arts welcome: bardic, poetry, storytelling, singing, choir, instruments, and more. Not ready to perform? Audience members always welcome, the more the merrier! This is also a great way to pose questions to other members of the community.
