The collegium will offer a range of classes, details forthcoming closer to the time. Please contact Lady Mathilda de Villiers (charlene@paradise.gen.nz) if you would like to lead a workshop, class, or discussion group at Collegium. The more the merrier! The collegium will be self catered but there are many options for eating in the adjacent mall.

The ball will include the Baronial quarter day court and a supper prepared by THL Taddea di Giorgio Mellini. The ball itself will consist of bassa dances and balli from the manuscripts of Domenico and Cornazano. These dances will be taught at the Baronial dance practices on Tuesdays, starting 7:30 pm, in the coming weeks. No experience is necessary! You can also check out reconstructions of the dances we have taught so far on this website.

Bus routes 10, 14 and 15 go to the mall and the Orbiter passes nearby.
