The Sword Through the Centuries
Jared Kirby and the Martinez Academy of Arms are proud to present a demonstration of the sword through the 17th -19th centuries. After a short presentation, fencers will demonstrate common weapons of the time such as the Spanish Rapier and French smallsword. The presentation will finish with a look at the similarities and differences between the Italian and Spanish Sabre.
The Martinez Academy of Arms is a unique school that preserves the tradition of fencing as the study of the sword in its realistic application in personal combat. Entering the Academy, one steps into another era and finds a serious group of practitioners dedicated to the art of the sword. Jared Kirby has been involved in Western Martial Arts for over fifteen years. He has trained at the Martinez Academy of Arms for the last ten years and is an Instructor of Spanish and Italian Rapier as well as French foil. He is also currently the fencing instructor at SUNY Purchase and teaches in New York City. Jared has taught a variety of workshops across the US and around the world including Canada, England, Scotland, Finland and Italy.

- STARKALL -
Returning from Cologne, Starkall will share a story about forgotten ships and spirits, and the greatest wonder of all - the sea - because every dream we have is a voyage into dark waters. Ships are much more than dead things. They are vessels full of visions, even those who are lost - in wrecks and ghost ships. Patiently they are waiting for a captain who has the courage to navigate them home. Those vessels, dead or alive, are carrying a thousand tales across the oceans. Once you are on deck you a part of the legend. So listen to the wind in darker nights, when it blows from the sea! Listen carefully and set your dreams outward bound!
______
-MICHAEL CUMELLA -
Michael Cumella's Crank-Up Phonograph Experience presents
sophisticated and culturally arresting entertainment. Michael
provides two period disc phonographs and plays 78’s circa
1900-1929 for a quirky and engaging musical experience that
transports the listener to the previous century. The music
ranges from ragtime to dance bands, instrumentalists to
songsters. Visually fascinating and vastly entertaining, this
obsolete media presentation is a treat for the eyes and ears.
- DJ PUREVILE! -
DJ PUREVILE! is finally fufilling a lifelong dream of DJing to other people than just his friends in his apartment!!!! After a conversation with Shien about doing a "New Romantic" night at Dances of Vice...the spark that became DISKO NOUVEAUX was born....Coming up in the New York club scene in the 80's and 90's and having a penchant for dressing up and DIY fashions, DJ PUREVILE! also wanted to create a place that would encourage people to get glammed-up and actually DANCE....and with a little help...this dream is becoming a reality!!!!

______
- TINA CASSATI -
Artist Tina Cassati makes costumes, ruffs and hats (Salone di Pessa Recycling Art & Objects) and uses them to create modern surreal photo worlds. A fusion of philosophy, symbolism and different rituals from the past and present as well as stories and visions of the future inspire the work of Tina Cassati. The result is usually provocative, sometimes even grotesque. At DOVF III, Tina's "MARINO" collection of photography will be on display at the Ball and Disko Nouveaux.

Brad Lunsford plays bass and keyboard. Hellblinki will also be presenting their thrilling new puppet show at DOVF III.

- RAGWATER REVUE -
Lady V and Kris Daniel of Ragwater Revue are temporarily making their way out of their murky swamp hovel as they set out for a life of rum, pillage, and song. Ragwater will be performing some shady shanties inspired by their voyage from the Pacific to the Atlantic and perhaps bringing the spirits of a few familiar characters with them. This will be a rare performance featuring special guest musicians BRIAN VIGLIONE (World Inferno, Dresden Dolls) on drums and accordionist BENJAMIN ICKIES (This Ambitious Orchestra).
______
- REVUE NOIR -
Revue Noir is the dramatic collaboration between dark cabaret chanteuse
Nicki Jaine and Black tape for a blue girl leader Sam Rosenthal. Residing
somewhere between rock, cabaret and torch singer, Nicki's captivating
performance embodies the decadence and sorrow that filled the nights of
pre-WWII Europe. Her direct, passionate delivery implores, seduces and
screams out, setting a mood of desire and despair. When Nicki is not
performing solo or in Rosenthal's Blacktape, the duo occasionaly rise from the bottom of the sea to perform together as Revue Noir, this is the first such show in four years. Expect a mixture of material from all their projects, including "Sailor Boy" and other salty hits from *10 Neurotics*, the new Black Tape For A Blue Girl album.

- HEY SAILOR! Hats -
Hey Sailor! founder and designer Kat Toronto draws inspiration for her creations from curious and diverse sources: from 18th century fashion illustrations to the decadent and decaying glitz of early 1900's circus sideshows, and the deadly femme fatales of classic film noir. Since its launch, Hey Sailor! has quickly built a world wide reputation with a growing customer fan base and has outfitted the likes of saucy burlesque starlets, pinup queens, 18th century dandies and femme fatales. Toronto plans to bring her fanciful vintage inspired designs to the world and in the meantime build her own millinery empire.

- ANTONIA PUGLIESE -
Antonia Pugliese grew up in the 20th century as the daughter of an eccentric dance teacher. She has been a performing member of the Commonwealth Vintage Dancers since she was thirteen, and is knowledgeable about dancing and the ballroom throughout the 19th century and beyond. Based in the Boston area, she has studied vintage dance in Newport (RI), Vienna (Austria), and California. She has taught at various venues, including Civil War reenactments, science fiction conventions, and the Newport Vintage Dance week. She has also been really enjoying doing her own research and reconstructing dances from period sources.
On Saturday, Antonia will be giving a short lecture about the nineteenth century ballroom. If you have ever wondered what a historical ball would have been like, or how you would be expected to behave at one, then consider this your crash course (not literally, of course) in the nineteenth century ballroom! Also expect some short demonstrations, and, time permitting, some more interactive dances, easy enough that anyone could learn them, elegant enough that anyone could look good dancing them, and fun enough that everyone should enjoy them.
