Newbie (civilian chick) - help?
#45
Yes it can be hard for women - short of reconstuctive surgey, I try my best :lol:

Well I don't play roles. What I do is focus on reconstructing a type of person. For the Late Roman period I have a high and low status lady impression, as well as an infantry and cavalry man impression. I also enjoy recreating other periods.

I aim to accurately and authentically recreate a look and use equipment as it would have been used. The masses of research involved is fun, and the final reconstructed product can be really satisfying.

For example, at shows we are helping to educate the public about how people lived, worked and fought. In our groups displays we demonstate the use of weapons against different targets, and tactics or skills used. But we do not re-enact battles spesifically. As many members of the public do not buy into the 'dying and getting up again' routine. You are able to teach people much better from a reconstruction perspective. E.g. Not "Hello I am Maximus the Roman" but rather "I am recreating an infantry man from the 4th century in Britain, from what I am wearing you can see that..."
It works really well, and the general public find you less alien to approach.

This is the group I am part of: http://comitatus.net/

Anyway hope I didn't go on too much of a tangent :oops:
