Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Practical Guide to Costumed Interpretation is just that – a book that takes you through the various stages of becoming an historical costumed interpreter. Jackie Lee has worked in this area of heritage interpretation for over twenty years and sets out what it takes to develop the persona for a character from the past. The methods she shares focus on first-person delivery of an historic character. Lee introduces the reader to two new methods she has developed that support character creation and delivery. The "three realms" highlight the importance of research and making the character believable and the "crystal ball" which enables the costumed interpreter to look into the future when the occasion demands it. The book is full of practical help on all aspects of the costumed interpreter’s craft including costume making and how to prepare personally for stepping out full of confidence ready to engage visitors of all ages. A Practical Guide to Costumed Interpretation is aimed at those interested in becoming costumed interpreters as well as those who wish to develop or revise their techniques. It will also be useful for students of museum practice and heritage interpretation considering costumed interpretation as a means of on-site delivery.
Download or read book Princelie Majestie written by Andrea Thomas and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2005-08-10 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lifestyle of a Renaissance prince and his court was a work of art in itself: a dazzling spectacle which propagated the power, dignity and fame of the monarch. The domestic routine of the royal household with its palatial surroundings, restless itinerary and occasional public pageants, provided the framework for cultural activity in its widest possible sense. Fine art, architecture, scholarship, literature, music and piety jostled for attention alongside hunting, feasting, jousting, politics, diplomacy and war. Emerging defiantly from a long and turbulent minority, the adult James V managed to create for Scotland an exuberant and cosmopolitan court, which imitated in miniature those of France, England and the Netherlands, and which carried important political messages. His ambitious programme of royal patronage combined humanist scholarship, neo-classical and imperial imagery, the cult of chivalry and medieval traditions in a blend which sought to galvanise Scottish national identity and enhance the status of the House of Stewart. For many years the reputation of James V has been overshadowed by the tragic glamour of his father, James IV, killed at Flodden, and his daughter, Mary, Queen of Scots. Princelie Majestie reveals that he was an energetic and innovative patron, who in a brief fourteen years created a court culture of remarkable quality and diversity. Princelie Majestie was originally published by Tuckwell Press.
