diane,
think positively about the ceremonial garb. Remembering anthropologist
Victor Turner's distinction between structure and anti-structure, it's
ritual of structure but for many who live in more or less permanent
anti-structure, participation in such rituals is something of an
anti-structure itself and can have rejuvenating properties. and the defense
itself can also be viewed as performance art: you're prepared, it's your
script, they want to be entertained. There are tough audiences and good ones
but that is beyond your control. good luck.
