A Renaissance Revel by The Moving Company dance troupe

Color photograph. A young white women in a blue Renaissance style dress is seated on a kneeling man's lap. She is also wearing a blue, pointed hat. The man is also dressed in blue, period clothing with a blue headband on his forehead. Both have an arm up in a pose. Another young woman in a black and white period dress with pink accents is walking around the couple, away from the camera, interacting in some way. She is wearing an ornate black and pink hat that looks like giant flowers. They are posed on a wooden floor, in front of blue painted brick.
