Handouts

updated ?

I have attention deficit disorder, and my usual method of working on most long-term personal projects involves doing a little at a time on many of them at once. Therefore, I have several handouts for classes in the works, with very few finished, and almost all of those I want to revise. If there's a handout that you'd like me to prioritize, please feel free to email me. I can't guarantee when or if it will get finished, but if I know at least one person actively wants it I'll make it more of a priority!

Courtesan Persona 101

This is a class I designed after discussions with several members of the KWC who expressed a desire to try doing things in persona but felt unsure of how to go about it.

Class description: This is an adults only class for those interested in portraying a courtesan persona in the SCA. People of all ages over 18 and all genders welcome. We will be discussing how to speak and act like an elite sex worker and how to handle a number of situations you might find yourself in while in persona at events.

This handout may also be found on the Knowne World Courtesans website.
