Tableau vivant (plural: tableaux vivants) is French for "living picture." The term describes a striking group of suitably costumed actors or artist's models, carefully posed and often theatrically lit. Throughout the duration of the display, the people shown do not speak or move. The approach thus marries the art forms of the stage with those of painting and photography. 

This year begins the first annual http://tilburycamp.webs.com/tableauxvivants.htm - Tableaux Vivant event in Kitsap County. Painters and photographers are invited to register for this event. The cost is $150 for the day and the day begins with early light at 6:30 am ending at dusk. A full lunch will be served. Medieval, Renaissance, 18th and 19th century themes will be staged throughout the day with several still life set ups. Stay tuned for more information and early registration details.
