Arts & Sciences are all the crafts, skills, and technologies practiced in the time period and cultures that our studies cover. SCA participants research, study, and practice these skills and then share them with others. You will see the results in use and on display at our events – the costumes (garb) we wear, the armor used in combat, the scrolls presented in Court, and the recipes used for a feast, just to name a few. Join our vibrant Arts and Sciences Community no matter what your passion may be!
Bardic includes all manner of performance be it singing, playing instruments, juggling, slight of hand, and so on. In addition to performance pieces the time period and cultures covered in the SCA, you may find filks (songs using traditional tunes but with new lyrics related to SCA culture) and the sharing of stories drawn from experiences within the SCA (often starting with “No really, there I was …”). The customs of a Montengarde bardic circle has a stick passed around where each may choose to perform, pass, or offer a prompt like asking for a specific song or topic. Audience attendance is welcome and encouraged.
