dance event
I met ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jarethsgirl tonight. She's in her first year in the SCA and is interested in running a dance event, so I agreed to be her mentor. (New autocrats require a mentor here.)
This should be fun. Years ago, before the meme of "all events must be all things to all people" started to take hold, we held a series of dance events called Harvest Festival. (She's looking at a spring event, so she has to get a different name. :-) ) It sounds like she wants to do something similar -- dance sets interspersed with performances, fairly casual (not a formal collegium, just dancing with some instruction), and maybe a partial pot-luck (provided main dish, people bring sides) or maybe more conventional food. We've definitely got a bunch of local dancers who ought to be interested, and she'll talk to them about coordinating that part of the event (lining up teachers, assembling sets, etc). We're looking for an inexpensive site so we can make this a donation-funded event. I have some ideas, and she's going to look at options near where she lives and also get her hands on the "site book" (a binder full of notes on sites the barony has used in the past). This is a very reasonable event for a new autocrat to do; in fact, my first event as autocrat was Harvest Festival.
It'll be nice to see another event and a new autocrat, too.

Heh. This seems a universally good way to start. One of my friends is autocratting her first event in December -- which is *also* an all-dance event along very similar lines.
(Personally, I didn't actually autocrat one of these until relatively late. But the second event that I kitchened was one, and I half-autocratted that...)
