May Day: We dance the sun up at dawn (you heard me, dawn) every year on the shores of Lake Michigan, at the lakefront park just east of Morse and Sheridan. This is the approximate location AntiMorris: the same site used for May Day .

Farmer's Markets: Another fun place to dance out. We have occasionally shown up at these events in Evanston and Oak Park, especially later in the summer.

We attend the Midwest Morris Ale, the location of which changes with the host team each year, and sometimes other ales throughout the region and beyond.

17. The Annotated Pratchett File V9.0 - ...and Dance Morris Dance brought to England in the reign of Edward III, when John of Gauntreturned from Spain. In the dance, bells were jingled, and staves or swords http://www.ie.lspace.org/books/apf/and-dance.html

APF Chapter 5: Thoughts and Themes ...and Dance When you mention 'Discworld' and 'dance' in the same breath, you can only be talking about one thing: Morris Dancing, a subject that most non-Brits will be almost completely in the dark about. Brewer has this to say on the subject: Morris Dance : brought to England in the reign of Edward III, when John of Gaunt returned from Spain. In the dance, bells were jingled, and staves or swords clashed. It was a military dance of the Moors or Moriscos, in which five men and a boy engaged; the boy wore a 'morione' or head-piece, and was called Mad Morion Which is interesting, but doesn't really explain anything in a 20th century context. Luckily, a newsgroup like alt.fan.pratchett attracts contemporary Morris Dancers like flies, and for the rest of this section I will give the floor to Rich Holmes: "In a number of books (including Strata Guards! Guards! Reaper Man , and Lords and Ladies ) Pratchett refers to morris dancing. These allusions may be lost on the typical American reader. Picture, then, six men in white shirts and trousers, decorated with ribbons, wearing bells on their legs, in a two-by-three formation the men, not the bells. To a tune played on fiddle or squeezebox, they dance up and down, back and forth, gesturing with big white handkerchiefs in their hands or, maybe, clashing yard-long willow sticks with one another. That's morris dancing, or at least the species of morris dancing that was done in the late 19th century in the Cotswolds region of England.

SIEGEL The Mark Morris Dance Group has been giving annual performances in Boston under the auspices of the Celebrity Series since 1999. Morris’s company has attained a status and stability enjoyed by only a handful of modern-dance ensembles in today’s unfriendly arts environment. This year’s engagement at the Shubert Theatre included two local premieres and three works from the repertory, with multiple casts for two of them. Dance repertory has its drawbacks, chiefly the danger of an automatic response. Morris splashes a postmodern irreverence into his old and new dances, and that keeps them from complacency. He’s too mainstream now to be thought of as a true subversive, but he’s constantly playing against your expectations. You may not notice he’s doing this because his dance rides so securely on its musical accompaniments, but then all of a sudden you realize you’re not looking at a carbon copy of your memories. In his choreography, Morris is a formalist, the best kind. That is, his dances don’t seem to stand for anything but the pleasure of fitting movement together with music, but in their synergy they add up to more.
