Assignment 2: initial thoughts

My instinct is to opt for a small group of people at the same activity or event for this assignment. A number of ideas have occurred to me over the last few months. For example, following a Southdown Strollers walk, Morris dancing, street canvassing or a historical enactment event. 

Desktop research has now eliminated the Morris dancing as local groups are still in winter season mode and their dancing programmes have not been published yet. I could, of course, see if any of the groups would let me join them for their training / practice sessions but that  would not get me the visually interesting 'transitional aspect' of following them from 'civvy' clothes to dancing in public.

I did discover though that nearby Arundel Castle is presenting two historical Raven Tor Living History Group events within my assignment timetable- Life in a Medieval Castle ( costume,archery displays weapons, armour and craft displays )and Normans and Crusaders (crafts, weapons training and battle tactics of the period). I'm not sure though that either events will give me the 'inside feel, that I want to capture for this assignment.

So on balance, I'm looking at street canvassing...
