So at our 12th Night meeting the WK EQ group wondered what it could do to encourage attendence to EQ events. Eventually the idea came to combine EQ stuff with other SCA activites. (See one of my previous posts from after 12th Night). I was inspired by the illuminations from the Gaston Pheobus Book of the Hunt, of which there are several versions. hrj used one of these for her postcard-sized handout Picnic Projec handout at 12th Night. Besides there being very cool depictions of a hunt, there's a scene of the lord before the hunt dining with his fellow hunters. This was a tableu (sp?) that I thought we could use for a combined EQ/Cook playday.
I have a paperback of illuminatons from another version.
If we could get people to replicate the costumes of the illuninations and have some sort of "hunt" that could be a new thing for our EQ crowd to work towards, and have fun in the process. The other part of the equation is, of course, to get cooks to be interested in participating in this tableau as well. You can think of this as an EQ manifestation of the Period Picnic Project, as well as a performance art project. ;-)
