Christmas tales and music from the Medieval and Renaissance. With thoughts of the obby Horse, wassailing, guising, the Feast of Fools and how music wanders over time.
About Clare: I am a Storyteller and Musician and I tell stories, give talks and play music. I’ve taught people to dance in Westminster Abbey and told the Iliad at Fringe Festivals. I’ve run banquets where we re-enacted the battle of Agincourt with puppets or the death of King Arthur with balloons. I’ve played medieval music at the British Museum and Tower of London. I’ve talked about the Peasants Revolt, taught people to juggle at Arundel Castle and played crumhorns in pubs. I’ve made balloon animals for people living with Alzheimer’s and live looped medieval music over zoom.
