Given some local political correctness objections to Larks and Ravens (I’m not 
good on the details, but apparently it’s something regarding relative size of 
the birds and their symbology – larks associated with marriage and fertility, 
ravens with loss and ill omen), some of us here in the Pacific Northwest now 
playing with the terms Lakes and Rivers.    At least it’s still a Left and 
Right terminology with similar cadence.  The search continues.

 

Thanx, Ric

Subject: [Callers] Larks and Robins

 

At the urging of dancers who were recently at Harmony Week at Pinewoods, I 
tried Larks and Robins  today for role identifiers in contra, and it was great. 
I physically like saying the word Robins more than the word Ravens, and the 
dancers were fine with it, too, even with a dance that had a Mad Robin. 
Callers—experiment!
