About me:
Great Meadows Morris and Sword is a group of high school-age students from the Greater Boston area who perform traditional English morris and rapper sword dances. Since 1999, we have danced at festivals and special events throughout Massachusetts and New England, including NEFFA and the annual Lilac Sunday event in Boston's Arnold Arboretum. Great Meadows also has performed on the international stage: We've competed in the Dance England Rapper Tournament and were invited to the 2004 World Sword Spectacular in Whitby, England.

Morris and sword dances have been performed in England for centuries, and are now popular in the US and many other parts of the world. People of all ages are drawn to morris for its liveliness, vigor and camaraderie. True to the spirit of morris, Great Meadows offers the experience of good dancing, good exercise and good company!

Here's a look at GMMS in action:


We practice on Sundays from 5-7 p.m. during the school year at the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church of Sudbury, at the intersection of Route 27 and Concord Road. For more information, please contact our team squire Tom Kruskal at 978-443-8940 or by e-mail at kruskalt@comcast.net.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace -

230 of 230, walkaboutsverse.741.com: AS GOSPELLERS HAVE SAID/CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY

As gospellers have said,
Beneath signalling skies,
On land dusty to tread,
A trough in a stable
Was the strawy first-bed
Of a divine baby -
The forgiving Godhead.

A season for new hope -
There then and here now;
The yuletide of goodwill -
There then and here now.

In respect of this chance,
Beneath bright or dark skies,
Faith’s the star that we glance
Attending Christ’s churches
And trying to enhance,
With singing and ritual,
Our God-loving stance.

A...

Poem-come-song 101 of 230, from walaboutsverse.741.com: JUST SUBSIST

At times when I’ve had time to take,
I’ve thought of a plot by a lake:
The plot would be of fertile ground;
The lake would have some trout around.

The plot’s house would be made of brick -
Well insulated, in good nick.
And round this abode there’d be built -
Solar panels, kept at best tilt.

Inside large coops would run the legs
Of chooks and quails - for fresh eggs.
A vine for grapes plus summer shade;
And, in thin beds, vegetables laid.

Up at dawn, to use all sunlight -
Fish and farm by day, read at night.
A spouse with me I’d not resist -
In retirement, we’d just subsist.

What a GREAT photo of you all that is! I feel very nostalgic for '04 (the Spec just seemed to flash by)! I actually meant the one on the workshop site showing - I think - Rhett holding up a lock. It's Baden-Wurtemburg's swords according to th etitle of the jpeg. I'll post it when I can work out how to include an image in a comment...!

We might have met then...

Rapper dancers in Demon Roadshow are from Black Swan and Kingsmen...some of us helped run DERT this year...errr is that the DERT you meant, or the one before?

If it was DERT last year then you probably won't think much of Black Swan!
