Thread Name: Calling time on Blackface Morris
Subject: RE: Calling time on Blackface Morris
any make up other than black brown or possibly yellow, has to be as effective as disguise and is not going to give offence,
when i first got involved in watching morris dancing 1962?
i noticed hardly any blacked up morris sides, the majority were cotswold morris. i believe that was thaxted in 1962.
Anyway, i prefer to watch the skill of dancers rather than be concerned about the loss of morris sides in a particular coloured disguise
