[LBC-news] Join the LBC video project: Ragtime Ricochet

[Andrew Findlay]

It is just a week until the next London Barndance online event!
Rhodri and ECDB are planning to do this one completely live, though
200 miles apart - how't that for a social distance?

There is still time to be part of the Ragtime Ricochet video: we could
do with some more contributions and we don't yet have a Minecraft one
though we do have Cluedo! Here are the details on how to take part:

> The London Barndance video project for March is a contra. Lynne Render
> has written a new lockdown dance for us called Ragtime Ricochet: it
> works for one or two people, and can be scaled up to a full Beckett set
> when real dancing is allowed again.
> 
> With music from English Contra Dance Band this should be a really fun
> project! Lynne and Peter have recorded a walkthrough and demo, and there
> is also an MP3 file with the music and call. You will find links to all
> of them on the event page:
> 
> https://www.barndance.org/event/2021-03-13/
> 
> Have a go, and please send us a video. Upload it to this Google album
> (you need a Google account):
> 
> https://photos.app.goo.gl/e1FELrogDKxuLASPA
> 
> If you cannot use that, then send us the file by some other method (email
> probably won't work as videos are too big).  We will make a composite
> video with short clips from everyone and we will show it during the next
> virtual dance on 13th March.
> 
> Please send your video as soon as possible as it takes quite a while to
> do the editing. Be inventive! Will this be the first to include dancers
> in Minecraft?

I need to start work on the final video on Wednesday, so get filming!

Keep an eye on the event page as it will be updated with more
information and links to tunes etc in due course.

Here's a link to our main video page, where you will find all the
earlier projects and many of the dances from the past year:

We look forward to seeing what you make of Ragtime Ricochet!
