Startup Tips In Becoming A Ben Franklin Reenactor

By Tanisha Berg


There are a number of historical reenactments done for the purpose of educating the public. They would like to show the people the events that took place at that time. These reenactments are made possible with the help of those who reenact the events.

There are a lot of roles that could be played. The people interested could be medieval monarchs, war doctors, soldiers, and other roles. There are also those who reenacts figures prominent in history. One of them would be a Ben Franklin reenactor. A person depicting Benjamin Franklin dresses like him and acts like him as though he is the actual individual.

Reenactments are commonly called living histories and most people fond of history would like to become a part of it. Reenacting is a form of recreation that many individuals are fond of. For this, an individual should be able to put into mind a few things so that he can be a reenactor.

Any individual can be a reenactor. They could be ranging from the elderly to even little kids. However, the roles given to the children are pretty much limited. For the older generation, they could land a part of being a war veteran.

If participating in a very active role, such as in civil war reenactments, the actor should be in a very good physical condition. This type of reenactment is usually done in an open field. He may need to carry guns as well as other forms of armory. He may also need to perform in rainy weather so his health should permit him to do so. He also needs to prepare himself from the fact that there is no current technology to be used during the presentation.

It would be nice if he has a lot of acquaintances who are into reenactments. He will be able to ask for additional ideas as to how he should be portraying his character, and if he is doing a great job. They can also share their knowledge about history with each other so additional learning is expected.

The clothes that reenactors wear are the same as those worn by people from the past, depending on who they are reenacting. For this, the actor should be financially ready as the costumes are expensive and can only be found on stores that display such attires. There are also other reenactors who are willing to share their extra costumes so the actor can ask for their help. Most of them would typically give a lending hand once they know that a person is interested in reenactments. The actor should do an extensive research so that he will be wearing those clothes that will make it an authentic experience.

The kit should also be prepared and ready for use. For a person portraying Franklin, a cane, a pair of sunglasses, or an umbrella would be included in the kit. The kit includes items that the figure is typically seen using.

An additional comprehension of history would be a benefit for being part of these events. When an individual has all the things ready for his reenactment, he will have an opportunity to be a living history. Certainly, reenactments are serious yet very fun events.
