Introduction

AgnesKiddo.png

I am a spoken word bard and storyteller, a researcher whose personae is from Calais, France before the year 1600. If it is in print it is fair game. I have told the ancient tale of Archimedes discovering buoyancy, retold the work of Galileo and his Treatise on the Rotation of Planets, recreated a moment with a period recipe making sure that even the very trees in the setting were accurate. Cervantes, the poems of the 16th century Queen of Navarre, folk tales and well told myths and legends. They all fascinate me and I delight in researching and sharing them. I first joined the SCA in the early 2000's. In recent years I have been sharing my research projects, bardic interests, retaining, serving when and where needed. I also have taught, run bardic circles and judged. Teaching both youth and adults is also an important piece of who I am. Ask me about research and I am happy to share my love for it.
