Paramount Players Celebrates the Life of Leonard COhen

Come join us for an evening of classy but sassy entertainment as we the PARAMOUNT GRAND THEATRE, the Paramount Players dance for you November 26th at 7pm slt, in our new show, Celebration of Life - Leonard Cohen Tribute Show.

Leonard Norman Cohen, was a Canadian singer, songwriter, poet and novelist. His work explored religion, politics, isolation, sexuality, and personal relationships. Cohen was inducted into both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame as well as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Cohen pursued a career as a poet and novelist during the 1950s and early 1960s, and did not launch a music career until 1967, at the age of 33. His first album, Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967), was followed by three more albums of folk music: Songs from a Room (1969), Songs of Love and Hate (1971) and New Skin for the Old Ceremony (1974). His 1977 record Death of a Ladies' Man was a move away from Cohen's previous minimalist sound. In 1979 Cohen returned with the more traditional Recent Songs, which blended his acoustic style with jazz and Oriental and Mediterranean influences. "Hallelujah" was first released on Cohen's studio album Various Positions in 1984. I'm Your Man in 1988 marked Cohen's turn to synthesized productions and remains his most popular album. In 1992 Cohen released its follow-up, The Future, which had dark lyrics and references to political and social unrest.

BALLET PIXELLE PRESENTS "THE NUT"

Ballet Pixelle® will present its special "The Nut" ballet opening on Sunday, December 4, 2016.

Ballet Pixelle performs its version of the Nutcracker ("The Nut") for the TENTH! year this holiday season. "The Nut" is Ballet Pixelle's essence of The Nutcracker so you can see just the wonderful, and our truly original, dances.

Does Clara become the Princess to her Nutcracker as he becomes the Prince of her dreams?  We see mysterious dances in the white castle.  Arabian dancers fly in on magic carpets.  A Russian cossack stamps out a dance.  Russian dolls roll and play.  Chinese empresses and emperors move on delicate feet, and Spanish senoritas and senoras throw themselves flamboyantly.  A field of flowers waltz together.  And even snowflakes dance!

Performances are Wednesdays at 5:00 pm and Sundays at 5:00 pm SLT throughout December in the Ballet Pixelle Theatre.

Join us for an evening of classic, and yet new, holiday delights.  Come early to receive your free Victorian party gown or tuxedo and dance on the luxurious set!  Chat with the performers and crew after the performance for autographs, photos, and a question & answer session.

*********************************************

Ballet Pixelle® is the first performing ballet company in the virtual global community Second Life®.  Says the Company's founder, Inarra Saarinen, “As artistic director of the Company since its inception, I have enormous pride in Ballet Pixelle.  Our goal is to investigate and explore the interaction and intersection of physical and virtual dance and blended realities.  We perform in the virtual reality of Second Life as well as in the physical reality of First Life (Australia, England, Germany, Japan, USA for example).  We are excited to celebrate the future of dance.  We are dancing into the digital future!”

Members of Ballet Pixelle come together from all over the world, including Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America.  Animations are created by Inarra Saarinen and put into dance phrases.  There are no artificial synchronizing devices and the dancers truly perform dancing with each other and the music.  Each performance is truly live and unique, and takes advantage of the characteristics of Second Life to extend the art of the ballet in new directions.

~ HELPFUL INFORMATION ~

❊ ❉    To ensure the best possible viewing during the show, it's best to position your camera in the front of the stage so it gives time for your viewer to read everything that will be there for the show.

❊ ❉    As always, we do ask that you remove any extra scripts that you will not be using during our show. With it being a small area, you will experience lag and we do apologize for that, however, there isn't much that we can do. We would like to have everyone script down to a maximum of 100 to help with the dancers that will be on the stage. It's also suggested that you lower your draw distance to a maximum of 100, this way your viewer won't have to work so hard reading everything past that which will also help with lag on your end.

❊ ❉    You can also remove the name tags above the dancers head if you so choose. To do that, it will be in your preferences section under the general tab for your viewer.

❊ ❉    Please remain seated during the performance. The less that everyone is moving around, the better it is for the lag situation.

❊ ❉    Music will be streamed so please make sure you have it enabled so that you can also enjoy the music as it's being played.

❊ ❉    There are 3 tips jars near the front of the stage. One is for the DJ.. one is for the Host and the other is for the directors for the show. Tipping is not mandatory to enjoy the show, but it is greatly appreciated.

Looking for Family Friendly Entertainment? Try Dance-Versity!

Join Dance-Versity for our newest performance as we look back on some of the many things we are thankful for. 7 acts showcasing a variety of styles of both dance and music as well as age groups. Doors will open an hour before the show to allow you time to be seated.

Paramount Players "Cleo and the Czar"

The Players are putting on a satirical play. November 12th and 19th at 7pm slt at there new home. Cleo and the Czar is about Cleopatra and her many escapades of being a queen.

Cleopatra VII ruled ancient Egypt as co-regent for almost three decades. She became the last in a dynasty of Macedonian rulers founded by Ptolemy, who served as general under Alexander the Great during his conquest of Egypt in 332 B.C. Well-educated and clever, Cleopatra could speak various languages and served as the dominant ruler. Her romantic liaisons and military alliances with the Roman leaders Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, as well as her supposed exotic beauty and powers of seduction, earned her an enduring place in history and popular myth.

This production contains adult situations and sexual activity.
