We are now regular volunteers every Saturday evening at the "Information Table" during the Green Show. It's been alot of fun talking with people from just about everywhere. The Green Show is every evening 7:15 until 8:00 pm in this outside venue before the Shakespeare Festival plays begin. We try to attend as many shows as we can........performers come from all over the US and we have seen some very talented people here.
Last Saturday was a fascinating group of men and musicians. Here they are doing "Morris Dancing".....an English folk dance that has a Moorish origin from the 1500's. Men dressed up with bells on their legs, do rhythmic stepping and complex choreographed dances with sticks, swords, and handkerchiefs....zig-zagging and criss-crossing....dipicting the struggle of the Moors and Christianity.
They are a rather interesting group of men !!!!
