The play our class had the opportunity to go watch was Sueño, performed by the students at the Mendocino College on October 24. The play was about a kingdom whom believed profoundly that the stars held the power to predict the future, specifically the fate of the king's son, Segismundo.

Eventually, a woman…

The Key Critical Term I choose is gesture and the two research topics are courtesy in Atlanta and Georgia RenFest. I think they both have a strong connection to the term gesture.
