Thoinot Arbeau

210.49.83.229:

Arbeau wrote probably one of the most important dance treatises of the [[16th century]], Orchesographie, first published in 1587.

Orchesographie contains music and instructions for many of the bransles, pavans, galliards, and other dances commonly done in the SCA. Arbeau's dances were easily accessible to the masses both in his own time and today, as opposed to the more courtly dances of the Italian dance masters.

Thoinot Arbeau was an anagram for Arbeau's real name.

Renaissance dance

2003-06-28T23:33:45Z

210.49.83.229:

We usually use the words '''Renaissance Dance''' to describe dance done in the SCA,
rather than [[Medieval Dance]]. This is because we don't know very much about
[[Medieval Dance]] at all -- we have no written dance instructions before about
1450 or so.

The earliest Renaissance Dances were those done in [[Burgundy]] and [[Italy]] in
the mid [[15th century]] to the early [[16th century]]. These included basse danses (bassa
danze) and balli. Later renaissance dance became both more complex
eg: [[16th Century Italian Dance]] and more simple, eg: [[16th Century French Dance]].

One of the world's main sources for Renaissance Dance is the rendance web
site: http://www.rendance.org/

One of The [[Kingdom of Lochac]]'s best sites is Del's Dance Book:

210.49.83.229:

'''Rowany''' is an oft used shorthand term for The Rowany Festival.

It is the wrong short-hand to use, however. People in the [[Barony of Rowany]] refer to this event as [[Festival]].

Rowany Festival

2003-06-28T23:25:32Z

210.49.83.229:

The Rowany Festival (sometimes called just "Festival") [[Australia]]'s largest [[SCA]] event which is, currently, held at the [[Crossroads]] [[medieval]] village. Anything that people do in the SCA (well most things) will be on display in some form or other at Rowany.

Happens every [[easter]] - Don't miss it for the world.

If religious reasons are inclined to slow down your attendance at an event over easter, don't forget that a group of christians generally get together in a discrete place to hold a scheduled easter sunday mass. And if pasach falls at the same time of year, I'm sure there will be people cooking in accordance with customs - it's actually easier to avoid leavening agents in period cooking.

Hrmm.. so you're coming along and don't know what to take? Perhaps you need a [[camping list]]?

The Company of St Sebastian is a group of people who camp every year at [[Rowany Festival]] and recreate the later part of the [[15th century]] and the early part of the [[16th century]]. Our stated time period is 1475 - 1525.

Some of the people in the company include:

* Master [[Delbert von Strassburg]], aka Del.
* Master [[Stefano d'Urbino]], and sometimes his disreputable ecclesiastical cousin, Father Stephen Bastard.
* Elaine Llanelli

When enough [[SCA]] groups in a region have enough members, and all those members want to become a [[kingdom]], they can ask to become one. This happened to [[Australia]] in July 2002. The Kingdom of Lochac represents the conglomeration of all SCA groups in Australia and New Zealand (as of Lochac May Crown, 2003), formerly a part of the [[Kingdom of Caid]].

During May and November there is a [[Crown tournament]] to choose a new king.

2003-06-28T23:10:14Z

210.49.83.229:

The Barony Of Rowany is the [[SCA]] name for most of Sydney, Australia.

Rowany was named after [[Mistress Rowan]] who, was the first [[Pelican]] in [[Lochac]], and also the second [[Laurel]] and did a lot of work to get the SCA started in Australia.

The current Baron and Baroness are Corin Anderson & Keridwen the Mouse

There are two colleges within the boundaries of the Barony:
* The [[College of St Augustine]]: University of New South Wales
* The [[College of St Ursula]]: University of Sydney

The [[Canton of Stowe on the Wowld]] covers the Western Suburbs of Sydney.
There is a [[shire]] [[Agaricus]] which lies to the South West of Sydney, although, being a shire, are not governed by the Barony of Rowany. The [[Shire of Agaricus]] covers this region, and encompasses the [[College of St Malachy]] (University of Wollongong).
