Re: [Tower Ravens] [TR Committee] Tower Ravens inaugural Day of Dance - for Folk London

by Becky Such

I think it sounds pretty good although I think I think explicitly saying we're very similar teams could be avoided, I mean, I know we are, but it sounds a little dull for people to watch? All I'd suggest is very slightly editing to something like this: 'Our guests for the day will be Silver Flame - a female team from Bristol who won the Championship category at DERT 2015. Expect lots of fast spins, exciting tumbles and swishing skirts in a haze of black, purple and blue! If that's not enough we both have charming and confident 'Tommy' characters so the pub punters are bound to be entertained even if a long day's dancing (and drinking) takes its toll on the dancers!' Very very small change. After that I don't know how exciting to make it, I think this is good and then we can always big the day up on social media once we've got some more information.

I don't think it's particularly interesting! Can you think of anything to make it better? Also is there any information I've left out? He didn't say how long he wanted it to be. The deadline is 5 March. How are we going to decide on a first pub? I imagine he might want a photo to go with it too. Do we have a specific good one we're using at the moment? > Ffion x > > > Tower Ravens inaugural Day of Dance > > Tower Ravens is London's premier (also only) female rapper sword dance team. We were formed in the wake of the 2012 London Dance England Rapper Tournament (DERT) and the team has been growing in size and reputation ever since. Most of our performances take place in pubs around London on the last Thursday of every month. During the last four years we have also been invited to take part in festivals (such as Tenterden and Leigh on Sea), many Morris sides' Days of Dance and of course Thrales rapper's annual November Day of Dance. > > Having enjoyed many other teams' hospitality we decided it was time to organise our own Day of Dance! The day will take place on Saturday 16 April and will be a long pub crawl taking in some of our favourite central London establishments. We will begin at 1pm(?) at the x pub and will likely visit Euston road, Holborn and Fitzrovia. A full itinerary will be published online closer to the time. > > Our guests for the day will be Silver Flame - a female team from Bristol who won the Championship category at DERT 2015. Like Tower Ravens their kit is mostly black but they accent it with a purple sash and purple Doc Martins! Our two teams have relatively similar dance styles so expect lots of fast spins, exciting tumbles and swishing skirts. We both also have charming and confident 'Tommy' characters so the pub punters are bound to be entertained even if a long day's dancing (and drinking) takes its toll on the dancers! > > Everyone is welcome to join us for some or all of our Day of Dance.

Greenwich picnic

by Sinéad Boultwood

Hi guys, On the afternoon of April 3rd by friend and I are having a birthday picnic in Greenwich park. It's a very casual thing, with probably a trip to the market for icecream at some point (or we'll hole up in a cafe if it's freezing). We haven't agreed a time or a meeting place yet, but probably from 1.If I have you on facebook I think I've invited you to the event, if not then this is your invite. I don't expect you all to come trekking down to South London, but it'd be lovely to see you if you're free. Partners/visiting friends etc. are all welcome, just let me know. Good luck with DERT if I don't see you before!Sinéad

FW: [TR Committee] Dancing On!

by Sue Connolly

Anyone fancy responding to this? We must have a pic of a tumble, or maybe we could get one on Thursday. S x From: jen(a)borderlinemorris.com To: dancingon(a)open-morris.org Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2016 19:30:31 +0000 Subject: [TR Committee] Dancing On! Dear Open Morris members, I’m excited to say hello as the new editor of Dancing On! You might remember me from my previous time as editor of the magazine, about 5 years ago. I’m thrilled to be back working with OM and the lovely new committee, and looking forward to hopefully producing some great magazines. The next edition is due out in time for the JMO NDOD, and the deadline to send in articles is April 1st. You could tell us about upcoming events, report on past ones, send in pictures or start a discussion about anything morris related you can think of. We’d love to hear from as many member teams and individuals as possible, so don’t be shy, send in something! You could even send in requests for things you’d like to see in the magazine. I want to have some interactive content in every edition, so to ‘get things off the ground’, I want you to send in all your airborne dancing pictures. It can be quite an art to capture a dancer just at the right moment as they leave the ground for a giant kick, leap or caper, so please send in your best examples for the glory they deserve! You can contact me through the website, or email to dancingon(a)open-morris.org. Apologies if anyone receives this message in error. Best wishes, Jen Dancing On! _______________________________________________ Tower Ravens Committee and Info List info(a)towerravens.org.uk

Weekly round up PLEASE READ

by Becky Such

Hello all, 1. Accommodation for DERT2. Signups3. Motley Morris dance out at Cutty Sark4. Crawl on Thursday5. Dance practice on Sunday 1. Final reminder! PLEASE PAY SUE £30 for accommodation, if for any reason you can't pay- need to pay in installments, or aren't sure you're going please contact Sue ASAP. If it is a case of maybe not going please also let Katherine know. 2. Please check out the signup sheet, in particular consider:14th Brighton Morris DoD3rd-4th June Ossett Beer Cart Festival (this happens near Wakefield, if you can make it on the Saturday that's enough please just say so on sign up) Katherine is checking overnight camping etc.5th-6th November Thrales Day. if you get time please consider any of the festivals listed at the end. https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jmCeRa4… 3. We had brief discussion of Motley Morris inviting us to dance outside the Cutty Sark again, they've given a load of dates which are all Wednesday nights. Sue suggested we could do a crawl in Greenwich and pop by? Last year it was very hard work as it was such a large space and so few teams so i think we felt very self conscious. I think we were leaning towards declining but should anyone like the idea of a Greenwich crawl or just really want to be involved again please let us know by next Monday and we'll go from there. 4. Crawl on Thursday is in Whitechapel! I know Katherine has done the pubs and just needs the time to put them in an email to everyone. We'll be starting either in the Blind Beggar or the pub right next door to it (please look out for confirmation from Katherine). We haven't had a kit check in a while but please try and make an effort to have shiny shoes etc. so we all look presentable.Personally my aim is to be more cheery- I was a real grump yesterday! looking forward to putting our work into practice :) 5. There is a day practice on Sunday 2-7 again. I believe Katherine is hoping for about an hour or so busting through Westerhope and then the focus will be on the DERT set. Please come along if you can, all help is appreciated! Ta all, Becky P.s. i have confirmed the ceilidh spot at Cecil # on June the 18th but have asked for times etc. so we have a little more info.
