Translating painting techniques from other mediums for use on fabric

In this session, we talk about the central concept of renown, drawn from the writing of the 14th century knight, Geoffrey de Charny, and his assertion that there are three kinds of deeds--war, tournaments & joust. We briefly at war and the joust, then turn to the tournament, very briefly noting the different types and introducing the passage at arms or pas d'armes. We then talk about the Tournament Company movement of the 1990s, and the "rediscovery" of the pas d'armes format, ending with the possible application of the pas d'armes today in the SCA, HEMA, WMA, Reenactment, and rebated medieval team sport leagues. Features Q&A from the ZOOM class, held 31 Mar. 2020.

Second part of the video course on the medieval tournament form, the pas d'armes (passage of arms). This one takes a look at the pas from the perspective of modern reenactors, SCA, HEMA or Deeds of Arms / Tournament Company sponsors and participants in this unique form of the medieval tournament, reviewing best practices for combatants and hosts. Stresses the importance of focus, pacing, and the pas as a chivalric stage. Introduces the concept of the "errant's defense," a low-bar-to-entry passage of arms, surveys the "company" level pas d'armes here the field is defined by pavilions, a list enclosure, optional use of a barrier, and the core parts of hosting a tournament including the declaration, invocation, selection of combat forms, passes (also called courses or rounds), "intermezzi" or melees conducted between passes, prizes, the renown mechanism, "winning" the pas d'armes, and places to give recognition
