I just finished this 13th century gown in time for our Medieval Feasts held at Bogner’s of Penticton. In keeping with my philosophy to recycle and repurpose… I found this fabulous fabric on a bolt end at the back of the fabric store… heavy upholstery fabric (reminiscent of Scarlett O’Hara’s gown refashioned from drapes) in rich golden/rust/brown ($4/metre) with long wide sleeves lined in a scrumptious silk! Our Medieval Feast featured fine dining from King Henry VIII’s table and fabulous music including 12th century Hildegarde von Bingen’s ‘Ave Maria’ and 12th century troubador, Bernard de Ventadour’s ’Quan vei l’aloete mover!‘ Ensemble numbers included King Henry VIII’s ‘Green Groweth the Holly’…

“Our food is scanty, our garments rough; our drink is from the stream” – Abbot Aelred, 1147Rievaulx Abbey, Yorkshire, 12th century Minstrels and merry makers descended on Bogner’s of Penticton at the restaurant’s first annual Mid-Winter Medieval Feast! It was a delight to introduce Beatriz de Dia’s A Chantar, one of the only remaining works by a trobairitz, female equivalent of a troubadour, from the 12th century. As well, the audience was treated to O Eterne Deus, Hildegarde von Bingen, 12th century abbess and composer… and works by Monteverdi, Thomas Morley and more! ‘A Chantar’ – Tracy Fehr with Saif Eddine Srairi, Oud Palais Ennejma Ezzahra, Tunisia

Role models have been my grandma, my mum, and my aunts, who creatively recycled long before it was popular… and I was inspired by Scarlett O’Hara and her “curtain gown” in Gone with the Wind!  My gowns throughout the years of performing have often been designed and created using fabric from gently used gowns…

I love the blue doors and shutters of *Tunis*. This intensely blue door welcomed me when I first arrived at my home for the week. This blue, a reflection of  sky and sea, is in startling contrast to the whitewash of the buildings and is seen in the ornate architecture along the sea at La Marsa* and Carthage*; it shimmers under the Mediterranean sun at the hillside Sidi BouSaid*; and shows in the extraordinary disparity of a clean white and blue backdrop against the thick air, a mingling of…
