SUMMARY:Talk - How to make a beast - Geoff Roberts (LIVE on Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Recording of event\nThis talk took place using the Zoom video service on 23 January 2021. A recording of the talk is available on YouTube: How to Make a Beast with Geoff Roberts. \n \nTalk – How to make a beast – Geoff Roberts\nGeoff Roberts will talk about making a Morris beast – held up by a single pole with the carrier under a fabric body.  He has already made 3 beasts in his morris career\, using just a workmate and some basic hand and power tools. \nHis latest creation is a real life Giddy horse from the Giddy Up At Whitby book (available at Waterstones). \nGeoff will show some of the bits of Giddy in detail and pass on advice about the things he’s done that have worked\, and some that haven’t.  He has no workshop\, just a workmate and some basic hand and power tools so you should be able to make one just as Geoff has.  There isn’t a rule book\, or only one way of building a beast that works\, but this is one way that has. \nTalk approx. 30-40 mins\, with the opportunity for Q&A. \nYour host\nGeoff says “If there is a qualification for making Morris beasts\, I don’t have it\, but I have made two dragons and a horse.  Originally I offered to make a more portable dragon (see picture) for Woodside Morris Men to take on our visit to Bensheim in Germany as the existing one was a bit unwieldy and heavy for the flight.  Then I made another lightweight one to transport around.  And then I made a real life Giddy horse from the Giddy Up At Whitby book in order to produce a short film for Whitby@Home 2020.” \nGeoff Roberts has danced with Woodside Morris Men and Chiltern Hundreds and most recently with Hexham Morris Men\, Black Gate Morris\, Rockhopper Morris and Amble Sword. \nTo register\nPlease complete this online form: Register for the Talk – How to Make a Beast with Geoff Roberts; you will receive a confirmation email immediately (check your spam/junk/promotions folder!).  We will send you a Zoom link a couple of days before the event.  Open to all – you don’t have to be a member of a team in The Morris Federation. \nOptional Donations\nIf you enjoy this event\, then it would be wonderful if you could send a donation\, small or large\, to the Alzheimer’s Society: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/get-involved/make-donation

SUMMARY:Demo - Rapper Sword making with Frank Lee (LIVE on Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Demo – Rapper Sword making with Frank Lee\nFor anyone curious about how rapper swords are made … Frank Lee reveals all from his workshop in Brampton\, Cumbria. \nFrank will explain the processes involved in making rapper swords\, the way he has made them since 1977\, and demonstrate them using video clips.  The processes will start from raw materials and work through to a finished product.  Frank will explain how the processes have evolved\, and mention alternative methods as he goes. \nYour host\nFrank was brought-up in the North-East\, where his forbears all worked in the shipbuilding and coal industries as blacksmiths and engineers.  His teaching job took him just over the county boundary into Cumbria\, but he learned his rapper dancing with Newcastle Morris Men in the Cumberland Arms\, Byker\, and his work as a swordsmith began after volunteering to repair their swords.  After finding a small supply of spring steel\, he then made a complete set of rappers from scratch for his own team in Carlisle.  As that team travelled to festivals\, interest grew in the rapper dance\, and then in obtaining rappers\, so Frank set about increasing production\, and has since made over 2\,500 rappers.  He has sent them to teams all over the world\, quite a substantial amount to the USA\, and more recently to China\, Taiwan and Japan.  He has also made many sets of longswords. \nFrank is a member of Carlisle Sword and Clog\, Hexham Morris\, Feet First Appalachian Cloggers\, and Flag and Bone Gang. \nSee his web site: http://www.rapper-swords.co.uk/ \nProgramme\nDemo and talk for just over an hour\, followed by Q&A. \nTo register\nPlease complete this online form: Register for the Demo – Rapper Sword making with Frank Lee; you will receive a confirmation email immediately (check your spam/junk/promotions folder!).  We will send you a Zoom link a couple of days before the event.  Open to all – you don’t have to be a member of a team in The Morris Federation. \nOptional Donations\nIf you enjoy this event\, then it would be wonderful if you could send a donation\, small or large\, to Halsway Manor\, National Centre for Folk Arts: halswaymanor.org.uk/support-us/donate

That and there are not many Jig teams about – at the time we found 2 active and 2 inactive in the UK and another also just starting out like us. \nAt the outset we decided to avoid the inevitable provenance arguments about how its supposed to go and to revisit the – usually handwritten – first collection notes. Our re-interpretation of these is the same starting point that all the revivalists had (apart from those meeting the old dancers) any subsequent variation from first recorded is to suit the dance to us. \nOver the years from humble beginnings we have performed at many festivals\, won medals\, and given a workshop series twice a year in Somerset covering most of the traditions that have Jig dances in their repertoire. There is a notation series and music for all of these available free from us. We now have regular members from the South Coast to Herefordshire and meet regularly to practice (subject to legal restrictions!)\, members of the team have taught and performed in Europe and Australia and during Lockdown we developed a video set and notation for Ilmington teaching used internationally.

SUMMARY:Mastering Performance Workshop Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Mastering Performance Workshop Weekend – what’s it all about?\nThe purpose of the weekend is to offer ideas and advice to teams wanting to improve their standard of dancing and performance in order to meet their aims and objectives\, be that better recognition\, attracting new members\, festival invites etc. \nThe workshops will cover playing for evolved Cotswold\,  dancing and playing for traditional and evolved North West\, formal discussion panels\, informal roundtable discussions\, and a chance to network. \nTo book please complete the online form. \nAlthough one of the main objectives of The Morris Federation is to promote good quality Morris dancing\, which for us includes both dancers and musicians\, the aim of the workshops are to look not only at the quality of the actual dancing and music but also to discuss the whole performance\, so for instance: \n– best use of space available\n– how teams present themselves walking on and off from a performance\n– being ready\n– being aware of the audience and not blocking their view\n– interacting with other teams\n– showing support by watching the other teams rather than distracting the audience\n– team style e.g. arm movements\, lines etc\, which should become automatic so that members can concentrate on the figures without compromising the overall performance\n– having an awareness of the dance as a whole i.e. that it is a team and not an individual \nThe workshops are not at any specific set level\, so please be considerate of those less experienced. One of the main reasons teams remain good is that they go back to basics every now and then to maintain their style\, which then allows them to focus on the detail. \nRoundtable discussions will take place during refreshment breaks\, and cover subjects such as: \n– Warms Ups\n– Running Practices\n– Making a dance a performance\n– Team Kit\n– Team Strategy\n– Recruitment \nWe also hope to film workshops and have a note taker for the each of the roundtable discussions to add relevant material to The Morris Federation archive/library for future use by members. \nOn Saturday evening will be an informal social\, so bring instruments\, clogs\, voices etc. \nPrices are inclusive of refreshments\, lunch for day ticket holders\, and Saturday evening meal for weekend tickets holders. There is also outdoor camping available. \nSaturday afternoon £12.50 \nSunday £25 \nWeekend £50 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe hope that gives you a better flavour of the weekend and look forward to seeing you there. \nWeekend Programme\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSaturday 28th April \n\n\n\n\n12noon \n\n\nRegistration & Welcome \n\n\n\n\n12.45pm \n\n\nLunch (Soup\, Bread\, Cheese & Fruit) & Discussion Groups (as above) \n\n\n\n\n1.15pm \n\n\nPresentation – The Morris Census 2017 with Jack Worth \n\n\n\n\n2.15pm \n\n\nDiscussion Groups: \n\n\nTeam set up & Constitution \n\n\nHow to run a practice/ good practice techniques \n\n\nMaking a dance a Performance \n\n\n\n\nWorkshop 1: \nPlaying for Evolved Cotswold with Barry Goodman of Redbournestoke Morris \n\n\n\n\n3.15pm \n\n\nRefreshments & Networking \n\n\n\n\n4.00pm \n\n\nDiscussion Groups – Team roles: \n\n\nLeader/ Foreman/ Squire \n\n\nSecretary/ Bag \n\n\nTreasurer \n\n\nArchivist \n\n\n\n\nWorkshop 1 continued \n\n\n\n\n5.00pm \n\n\nReview & Close \n\n\n\n\n6.00pm \n\n\nEvening Meal (Lasagne & Salad) \n\n\n\n\nEvening \n\n\nInformal Music\, Song & Dance Session – Bring your own drinks!! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday 29th April \n\n\n\n\n9.30 \n\n\nRegistration & Welcome \n\n\n\n\n10.00am \n\n\nWorkshop 2: \nPerforming Tradional North West with Rivington Morris \n\n\nWorkshop 3: \nPlaying for Traditional North West with Peter Bearon & Phil Trewinnard of Rumworth Morris \n\n\n\n\n11.00am \n\n\nRefreshments & Discussion Groups: \n\n\nTeam Kit with Margaret Watt (Rivington Morris) & Jenny Everett \n\n\nTeam Strategy with Tom Besford (Horwich Prize Medal Morris Men) \n\n\nRecruitment \n\n\nWarm Ups \n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.45am \n\n\nWorkshop 2 continued \n\n\nWorkshop 3 continued \n\n\n\n\n12.45pm \n\n\nLunch (Soup\, Bread\, Cheese & Fruit) & Networking \n\n\n\n\n1.15pm \n\n\nPanel – How to get invited\, and then re-invited\, to a festival\, what festivals offer teams\, and what they expect in return.
