Signum University and the Mythgard Institute invite you to join us in the Orlando area on Saturday, February 17, 2024, for our annual Sunshine Moot. Our theme this year is “Songs, Tales, and Poems”.
Various textures are added to the main narrative by musical interludes, tales of the past (legends, myths, histories) or the future (prophesies, foreseeings, predictions), and poems in recitation or in print. How do these narrative breaks support the author’s creative vision, advance the story, illuminate events, develop character, and add to the audience’s experience and understanding?
Our Welcome Document is yours to look at. It contains a full Schedule of Events including presentation descriptions, how to get to Sunshine Moot on Rollins College’s campus, lunch information, and much more! A simplified Schedule of Events is provided below.
