2	1992 - Present	European Dance	Since I joined the SCA, I have studied and taught SCA period European dance. In the Midrealm (until 2005): -- Regularly taught dance classes -- Ran occasional regional dance practices -- Created the Cloved Orange Ball After I moved to Atlantia: --Continued teaching occasional dance classes locally and at Atlantia University. --Can teach approximately 20-25 dances without having to relearn them. These include English Country Dances, 15th and 16th century Italian Dances, French, English Gresley, and an assortment of SCA Choreographies.
3	1992 - Present	Dance Music	1998-2006 played actively 5-10 events per year with Musica Subterranea, including Pennsic. 2006-present played occasionally, especially to get other music ensembles launched on their own
4	2000 - Present	Commedia dell' Arte	Started learning Commedia when I met I Sebastiani at Pennsic in 2000. -- Taught first Intro to Commedia class at Pennsic 2001 -- Created my first troupe in 2002, I Scandali, in the Midrealm -- Created a Pennsic-only troupe in 2002 called I Rosi Lioni which rehearsed and performed only for my household camp at Pennsic, "Camp Spartii" of House Red Winged Lion -- Continued to teach, learn, and run these troupes while flying to Boston from my home in Indianapolis to learn from i Sebastiani as often as possible. -- Moved to Atlantia in 2005 and continued to teach commedia occasionally at home and at Pennsic. -- In 2010, I started my new local troupe, i Firenzi, which performs at events all over Atlantia. I also occasionally coordinate ad-hoc troupes of i Firenzi and Friends to perform at events like Twelfth Night. -- Got an official job in 2012 as Co-Lead of the Pennsic University Performing Arts Department Commedia, Foolery, and Physical Theater track. I created this track with my friend Niccolo Bartolazzi. We grew this program from nothing to being robust enough to fill the Amphitheater with shows, classes and rehearsals for 7 days, all day, through Pennsic. -- In 2018, I am running the track solo while training a replacement. -- Starting in 2013, I created a Pennsic-only troupe called the Commedia All Stars which rehearses and performs only at Pennsic.
5	2002 - 2005	Commedia dell' Arte - troupe management	I created a commedia dell' arte troupe, i Scandali, with members from central Indiana, Dayton OH, and Cincinati OH. I Scandali continued on for many years after I left. They still occasionally put on commedia shows for special occasions. They once served as the Baronial A&S Champions for the Barony of Flaming Gryphon.

It was titled "Bringing Commedia dell' Arte To Life" and covered how modern day volunteers can create historically accurate plays in the style of 16th century commedia dell' arte.
18	1992 - Present	Performing Arts in General	I particularly studied how Performing Arts works in the SCA while serving as Protégé to Master Henry Best from 1998 - 2004. During that time, he created the Coxcomb Academy at Pennsic with my assistance. I learned a great deal from him about how SCA events are run and how Performing Arts can fit in. I also learned a great deal about working as a professional performer as he learned how to create a new career for himself as a professional magician. I dissolved that formal relationship on April 17, 2004. I continued to study performing on my own and find other teachers.
