@JohnBJohnBJohnB 11:15am in Mill Valley and 1:30pm on Angel Island. LOL we put it on https://berkeleymorris.org/performances.html but forgot to add time/location #MorrisDance #AngelIsland
Just finished a day of #MorrisDance starting at 4am. Ensuring the sun continues to rise is a major responsibility, and I'm happy to do it, and I'm glad it's only once a year. Happy #MayDay!

Nothing to do with the Wizard of Oz or ballet, these are Morris dancing shoes. They were made for George Elliott, who performed in the Sherborne Pageant of June 1905. The dance was performed by a mixed side, with a hobby horse, Robin Hood and Maid Marian. A photograph of the dancers describes it as 'A Morris Dance in the Greenwood'.

Looking for #MorrisDance on this network turned out to be a deep rabbit hole - there is a whole related instance whose local timeline at https://folksocial.org/public/local was fascinating. Personally, I dance with #BerkeleyMorris in #BerkeleyCA and organize the Black and White Morris Dance (next one: June 3, 2023)

We will be out dancing in Totnes as we traditionally do on Boxing Day. Our Christmas Mummers' Play will also be performed for the lucky audience!

We will be out at #TheLinny in Coffinswell, near #Torquay in #Devon tonight, enjoying a November night out. It's a break from practice but a chance to have a change of scenery and share it with our new #MorrisDance members.
