 What are the Arts & Sciences?The Arts & Sciences are all the crafts, skills, and technologies practiced in the time period and cultures that the SCA covers. Arts & Sciences range from the recipes used for a feast to the armor used in combat, the clothes and costumes we wear to the bardic arts of singing, storytelling, poetry and instrumental pieces. All kingdom and local Ministers of Arts & Sciences are there to help you find the answers you need, be it finding you a source or introducing you to an expert in the field.

Music/Dance Workshops Wouldn't it be great to have more live music and dancing at events, courtesy of the Barony of Darkwater ? Mistress Milesenda de Bourges is organizing our music practice days, and they are being hosted by Master Ciann, in SwampKeype. Instrumentalists and Vocalists are equally welcome, and dancing is now being added to the repertoire. We will be working on "Horses Bransle", "Maltese Bransle" and "Tangle Bransle", to play for dancing, and several vocal pieces to sing whenever we get the chance. If you need the sheet music for these pieces, contact Lady Milesenda or Mistress Rachel. We will also be posting music to the files section of the PAGOD yahoo group. Kingdom Winter Arts & Sciences Competitions Trimaris will now hold only one Kingdom competition per year, in the winter. However, you will have even more opportunities to enter A&S competitions, as Baronies & Shires are encouraged to host regional competitions. Every competition is open to all Trimarians, and they will be run like Kingdom competitions as far as possible. They will give you a chance to receive feedback and improve your entry. You may enter as many regional competitions as you wish, and still enter the same (improved) item in the annual Trimaris Kingdom Arts & Sciences Competition. If you are planning on entering an upcoming competition, please be certain to get a copy of the rules and forms. For answers to frequently asked questions, check out the Kingdom art/sci page.
