Today Class 4 had two very special visitors from The Rose Theatre! They came to show us some examples of Tudor clothing and also demonstrate some Tudor dancing. As you can see, it was a very formal affair with a wide range of noble and well-to-do Tudors involved!
Class 4 ensured that all the formalities were observed whilst maintaining a perfect and elegant posture whilst performing the Pavan (a dance associated with the upper-class).
The outfits gave us a good insight into not just the style, but the colours and designs of Tudor outfits. All of it depended on your social class. Want to appear more wealthy? Stuff your shoulder pads! Since these were often used to store money safely, it gave the perception that people with large shoulder pads had lots of money. However, we discovered that it was not uncommon for people to use these to steal from the rich! Even chickens were not safe with reports of people pinching chickens and getting away with the stolen poultry in their shoulder pads!
We hope you enjoy the video and the photos!
