VANCOUVER MORRIS MEN

Scenes from "Now Christmas is Come", a celebration of English mid-winter rituals, involving just about all the Vancouver morris community - December 2002



The Vancouver Folk Chorus and the Christmas Band


VMM do the Christmas Mummer's Play: King George and Turkish Knight "square off"


The board head presented while "The Boar's Head Carol" is sung


Kits Point Sword "do their thing"


The entire company sings the Pentonville version of "While Shepherd's Watched..."
complete with our own brass quartet


The pantomine dame (a.ka. Dame Clapp) gets the audience on her(?) side with an amusing song about
- what else? - the Morris. (Apparently she(?) was trying to make a point...)


The VMM perform "Special Molly", a Plough Monday ritual


Another perspective on "Special Molly"


After the Molly dance, a "feast dance" to celebrate the changing of the seasons
