About Leko Littlebird and the Workshop
Leko Littlebird is one of those strange Second Life characters that does in SL exactly what he does in RL. In both worlds he works in dance and theatre as a scenic designer and as a stage photographer of some notoriety. While astonished by the raw creativity on display every day in Second Life by those who design for dance and theatre events, he wanted to share some of the traditions and techniques employed by real-life theatre artists that would be of great value to those designing or producing in Second Life. Second Life and Real Life need not be so far apart. Each can inform and inspire the other.
As a fun bonus, Mr. Littlebird will begin his presentation by sharing images of RL dance companies he has worked with whose dance is typified by some of the magical elements one might think are only available to SL dancers (like flight)!
This workshop is suitable for both beginners and those more advanced as designers or builders in SL or those just interested in dance and theatre production in SL.
Location: The Auditorium of Forbes Theatre on the SL campus of James Madison University (JMU)
