The 9th Annual Renaissance Workshops & Symposium, 2012

It’s time to come together to learn from each other and share ideas to help make for a better Renaissance Faire experience. To be held at the same park as the annual Folsom Renaissance Faire on May 5th-6th, a weekend long workshop & symposium geared toward faire participants, vendors, and playtrons. Basically for anyone interested in learning about fitting into the Renaissance atmosphere.

The principal aim of the Renaissance Symposium is to encourage discussions of the Renaissance period and improvisational theater, in a congenial and fairly informal environment, in hopes of bringing to life much more entertaining and exciting shows. If you have experience and knowledge in related informational areas, you are encouraged to participate as both speakers and discussants. Class submissions are being accepted now and will be vetted before they’re posted to make sure that the classes offered are of quality and on point.
