If'n any of you live or move ot the west coast of Florida I belong to a piratical reenacting group called "West Coast Mutineers". This piratical group spawned off from my group "Futures Past" which performs Meieval /Renn faires and improv shows around Florida. I've been pushing our pirate group director to move toward more historical teachings as I do with my group in history, stage combat, speech, etc. Learning yer way around a ship, sea faren terminology, navigating, famous pitates, etc. is what we are now teaching. Would love to share ideas to improv our pirate group.
Captwilliam...I direct a human chess match at our Medieval faires. Never seen one done at a pirate festival though. Thinking of doing one here some day. A way to settle a quarrel between two Captains and crews. Whatchya think?
