Japanese Demo at Pennsic ??

[solveig]

Noble Cousins!

Greetings from Solveig! I just received an enquiry about the possibility of using one of the "Artisans Row tents" at Pennsic for an entire day "for the purpose of demonstrating ... and attracting others to Japanese culture".

I need to get back to the Dean of the School of Applied Arts in time for their own May Day deadline. So, we don't have a lot of time to discuss this opportunity. What do people think? Would people be interested in participating in a one day Japanese demo at Pennsic? Who has stuff to demonstrate?

Note - These are not traditional scheduled classes. The idea is to have "demos, displays, one-on-one work, or casual classes that people feel they can join, as they walk past", from 10 AM to 5 or 6 PM.

What do people think??

I would love to...But I am not going to be an pennsic

Beyond that, I really don't have much to offer

GL Sounds like fun.

Greetings from Solveig! Well, the demo is scheduled for Monday of the second week. Can anyone here suggest a 3 word or at most 4 word title for the thing? I don't actually know whether there is still time to put in a title request, but I do know what the word count limit is. Thank you very much for your help.

Greetings from Solveig! I was asked to coordinate a Japanese Culture Demo at Pennsic this Summer and agreed to do so. The demo is supposed to include such things as informal classes, exhibitions of arts & crafts, participatory stuff, and what naught. Does anyone here have any suggestions about what informal classes I should contribute to this mini-event. Please help me out. I always tell people that I can be boring at a moment's notice. My goal is to do better than that. Thank you very much!
