Angela Rosa Dellamora
Angela joined the SCA in February of 2006 after being (slightly) hijacked by members of Musica Draconis at the Beaverton Farmer's Market Demo in the fall of 2005. But wait! What is the SCA? Who is Musica Draconis? What is the Beaverton Farmers' Market Demo?
Why does anyone care about any of these things? Well, for those who don't, kindly save yourself the trouble and stop here For those who have interest in things historical and categorical, pray, attend and read on.
In 1965, several friends gathered in Berkeley on the first of May to celebrate the Middle Ages and to attempt to recreate the beauty, fanfare and passion of tourneys, medieval clothing and other things historical. From that tiny spark has grown an international organization dedicated to studying the Middle Ages. Whether your interest is in book binding or naalbinding, tourneys or turnshoes, the SCA (the Society for Creative Anachronism,Inc.) has other members who are probably interested, too.
On a more personal note, Angela plays in Baronies of Stromgard, Three Mountains and Blatha An Oir, as well as in the Shires of Dragon's Mist and Mountain Edge. She is the mother of Gianni Dellamora, the 2006 - 2007 and 2007 - 2008 Youth Champion of Stromgard. Her household is known in the Rivers Region as Camp Italia. Her signature token at any event is the vase of yellow roses always present at the site, along with the usual gathering of friends, newcomers and passers-by, all of whom are being fed copiously!
In performance venues, Angela is a mezzo soprano with some 30 years of vocal training. At SCA events, she and other members of the Broken Consort/Musica Draconis (Dorian Longwind of Neumes, Nicolai Grendal Gornych, Arlys o Gordon, Francesca Testarossa di Martini, Havoise de Rohan and Diana Boss) can be found wandering about singing, strumming, fiddling, drumming, tooting, blowing and whistling, or doing just about anything else to make music.
Interests include the making of historical and modern clothing (www.gotgarb.com) which are made and sold online and at events, tents and pavilions, which are also made and sold online and on site; cooking, singing, knitting, and equestrian activities. During April of 2007, with the unlimited and talented assistance of Cara Dea da Fortuna and many others, Angela autocratted Faire in the Grove, Pacific University's third annual Medieval Faire. (www.faireinthegrove.com) Next year promises to be even bigger and better! Come to the Faire!
Angela is now apprenticed to Madonna Comtessa Ilaria veltri degli Ansari, Lady wife to Earl Edward Ean Anderson and a former queen of Caid.
