Leadership in Literature: The Sword in the Tome, 12-18 YRS
Note: This program will take place offsite at the Shady Cove School 37 Schoolhouse Ln, Shady Cove, OR 97539
No weapon in history has captured human imagination in quite the same way as the sword. Swords date all the way to ancient history, and persist into the modern day with the sport of fencing. Swords in literature are equally varied and represented; from Arthur’s mythical blade Excalibur to Luke’s inherited lightsaber, swords are as much symbols in literature as they are tools for the characters. Join us for an exploration of swords and their symbology in literature, followed by a brief fight choreography lesson to explore the world of the sword. All safety rules will be covered during the program and will be enforced. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes to move in. Presenter Cameron Turner has been trained in both stage fighting and safety.
Please note, masks and social distancing are required to attend this program.
