Best applicaton of event theme, Moors in Spain and a general A&S show.
The autocrat, in cooperation with a team of special guests will choose
their favorites in both categories. (Notice I didn't say a winner...just
the favorites! That way, we can pick more than one exhibit!!)
| 10:00 am | Annex 1st floor | Yoga for Fighters, taught by Lady Mirabai This class will teach fighters exercises to warm up before fighting and cool down afterward as well as how to enhance flexibility for greater mobility. |

| 12:00 (noon) | Annex Rapier List Area | Off the Line Fighting, taught by Kanran This style makes use of angles and arcs to maneuver around opponents. Some aspects of this are seen in the Spanish style of fencing, but far greater use is made in many martial arts, and can easily be integrated into SCA fencing technique. |

Theories concerning the meaning of the images and the history of the tapestries in light of recent research will be discussed. The symbolism of the depicted flora and fauna will be considered. There is a handout available. |
| 1:00 pm | Church 2nd floor Chapel | Spanish Music, taught by Mael Ruin It's not Flamenco, but come listen to a few records and watch a few videos. Guaranteed: One hit that has outlasted 600 years! |
| 2:00 pm | Church 2nd floor Chapel | Jongleurs of Brendoken:learn a Spanish song, sing along, or listen. There were some great Spanish and Catalan Period songs. We can pick one or two and learn them. No charge Children welcome if accompanied by their parents. |
We still have room for more classes! If you would like to teach a class specializing in Hispanic,
Moorish Iberian and Spanish arts, sciences and history at this event, we'd love to give you space
Classes on other topics are also welcome!
