THE BRAVE PROGRAM PRODUCTION:

1.  NO RED ROSES
 STORY :  The city flows around us. The traffic never ending; the pace unforgiving. Lights speeding past; elevators falling from far above; towers reaching up beyond sight; shadowy figures rushing by.   Where is the human, where does nature break through? If by a miracle a rose grew through the sidewalk it would be crushed and wither. Loneliness rules.
 
2.  BRING IT
STORY:  We are ill at ease. Our movements jerky. We wonder what is life. How can we be part. We reach out to interact but there is no true connection, no warmth. All is very odd and cold. We dance alone. Loneliness is what we all share. Our minds are going living this life of lies and loneliness.

3.  THE BRAVE
STORY: We hear the call. Voices call us to step up and find our courage. We must face the future of risk and act to change it. We need to commit ourselves, heads, hearts and hands.

4.  MOUNTAIN
STORY:  The majestic great beasts are coming. What a force of nature! What disruption to the way things are. We climb a spiral path out of the urban jungle and into the clear air of a mountain. Clouds surround us as we reach the peaks. Strange and beautiful things will change us.

5.  VOICES
STORY: Our life up in the clear air is full of playfulness and joy. We have so much room to breathe and leap into the sky in dance as we are freed.

6. GET REAL
STORY:  Mystical forces demand our attention. Dance through all our histories has been sacred and brought us to face deep spiritual challenges.

7.  VOLI
STORY: - As mystical forces and people join together we are freed from old bonds and, no longer earth bound, we can reach into the skies. We gather our strength in a moment of solemn love and higher purpose.

8.  SING IT
STORY: - joyfully determined and happy we move back down the mountain and embracing the move back to earth, Of course there may be shocks along the way!

9. GOING TO  LA
STORY: We have returned to the dark urban city - the atmosphere is heavy. We walk  the city streets, among the poor and dispossessed, the division between peoples, the lost and the intoxication of despair. It is dark and damp. Rain sweeps our faces. Then the storm breaks - a clearing cleansing storm - sweeping away all the darkness and cruelty - leaving nature and green lushness to arise. The earth is resurgent. Life will return. Humanity rediscovers its connection to the rest of the universe. We are no longer alone. We are green, transcendent, whole.

THE BRAVE - INSPIRATION - DEEP ECOLOGY
by Medora Chevalier from Joanna Macey

Something important is happening
Something is shifting here
Be glad to be alive!
We are changing visions
Changing lives
It is "the greening of the self.'
Time to stand up
Time to step up
Defending our lives
Defending our Earth
 I, the forest giant,  feel the people hug my trunk,
Block the chain saws with their bodies,
Feel their fingers caress my bark
Stop the steel, let me live.
I hear the Brave in their boats
Place themselves between the harpoons and me,
I escape to the depths of the sea.
Give thanks for your life and for mine, and for life itself.
I know we have the power , the power to change
Tree and elephant, whale and bear are not "out there"; they are ourselves
Dangers threaten, overwhelming us.
Our world, as we know it, may come to an end.
It takes courage to stop denying this crisis
Courage to grieve,  a deep response, a deep grief
Courage to smell the burning of the forests
Courage to see the famines of Africa
Courage to hear the voices swept away by flood and war
Courage to see our brothers homeless in our cities
Taking courage , we are no longer puny individuals
We are part of the rainforest, we are the earth protecting itself.
We are the earth  emerged into thought and consciousness
This is the greening of the self.
This is our greening
The green mystical, the green practical,  the green transcendent
The deep interconnectedness of all life
It makes us The Brave
Don't ever apologize for crying
Don't ever apologize for sorrow, grief, the rage that you feel.
It is a measure of your humanity
It is a measure of your open heart
As your heart breaks open it makes room for the world to heal.
The Brave weave their small arcs  in the wider currents and loops of knowing that interconnect us.
Making the  'pattern that connect'
This is the greening of self

Important Message from Klark Harvy

It is with NO regret that i wish to announce to the Dance Community, my immediate sabbatical and pre-retirement from Dance in SL.

I would like to thank those who have opened their doors to me and allowed me to perform in some amazing venues.

I would like to thank all those who have contributed and supported the learning for students at JAPA in the Performing Arts.

I would like to thank all those artistes who have inspired me to keep going, when times were tough.

I would like to thank Dance Queens for being the source for all event announcements and developments in Dance.

I would like to thank all the dancers i have worked with, and all the choreographers who have shared with me their unique skills.

I would like to thank all my friends for the kick in the ass when needed and the saving arms when i have fallen.

I would like to thank all the music technicians who tirelessly "make it happen" for all who perform.

I would like to thank all my students for their belief and trust, and it has been an awe inspiring Journey to see dancers develop from Novice to Competence in all Performance Foundation skills.

I would like to thank all those who have  joined me in my element meditations, and i hope  helped a few find their Peace in this crazy fast world at times.

I would like to thank the SL Stage Platform, for allowing creativity in the Performing Art forms, to become known, enjoyed and  appreciated by so many.

I will rest for a few months from July to September, and in September, after my final commitment to perform at GB is completed, I will make my decisions regarding my future participation in Performance in SL.

JOURNEY will remain, and all its facets will still remain, at this time.
My involvement may be different, and will be clearer in September.

Have a great Summer, I wish you all good health and may you have many new inspired creations.

DoL DANCER'S CHALLENGE

_,.-:*'´ `*  DoL DANCER'S CHALLENGE  *´`'*:-.,_

Date: Sunday 10th July, 2016
Time: See Details Below
Where: DoL HQ
Spaces Available: 8

Something a little different to tickle the fancy of those game enough to step up to the plate! In July, Dancing Outside the Lines will be hosting an event with twist where choreographers will participate in a game of chance for their song and create a routine from scratch right before our very eyes. We encourage spectators who would like to wander between the builds (there will be marked pathways) to get a rare glimpse into the artistic process.

----------------------
APPLICATION FORM
----------------------

http://goo.gl/forms/9n3pAehelOaxkXOm2

----------
DETAILS
----------

The day's schedule will run as follows;
Creating Time: 9:30am-12:30pm SLT
Bump-In to Theater: 12:30pm - 1:30pm SLT
Show Time: 2pm SLT

Here is how it works, the DoL Staff will choose an eclectic variety of songs, the names of which will be put into a game of chance (wheel, gatcha machine etc) for each dancer to click. Once they have their song, they will move to their designated build space to begin work. There will be approximately 3 hours allocated for creation of a simple set, choreography and costuming --- Anything goes!

Dancers may choose to use all of this time or only part, however they will be responsible for all expenses and pose-ball-sitters. We will have dancers from the DoL group available and many will happily double or triple up on routines, however we strongly suggest you have your own crew lined up if you intend to do a group routine.

**NOTE: Tips from the show itself will be divided amongst the dancers, host and DJ as is standard.

Once again it is the time of year when the members of the Spirit Light Dance Company get to express their creativity by presenting their own work.
Each member of the company is invited to present a dance number.
Some have never done this before. They are supported by the rest of the company who stands on dance position pads and assist in any other way that is needed, while the choreographer shows their work.
                                                       *
Each entrant is responsible for creating their set, getting that set on stage in less than 1 minute, costumes, selecting their music, special effects, animations, staging and choreography. It's going to be a fun show with 7 original numbers and a full cast Bollywood finale that I believe will have you giggling inside.

Paramount Players Steampunk Revolution

Come join us for an evening of classy but sassy entertainment as we the PARAMOUNT GRAND THEATRE, the Paramount Players dance for you June 11th, 18th, & 25th at 7pm slt, in our new show, Steampunk Revolution.

The Players bring you to the past where steam and cogs ruled the world.

Steampunk, is a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. Although its literary origins are sometimes associated with the cyberpunk genre, steampunk works are often set in an alternative history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American "Wild West", in a post-apocalyptic future during which steam power has maintained mainstream usage, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power.

PRESS RELEASE Dancer Auditions for Ballet Pixelle®

PRESS RELEASE

Dancer Auditions for Ballet Pixelle®

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Quat/32/22/107

Sunday, June 12 at 5:00 pm SLT
http://balletpixelle.org/audition.html
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballet_Pixelle

“If you have the chance to sit it out or dance . . .Dance!”

Ballet Pixelle® has opportunities for dancers to join this dedicated company of artists in Second Life. This is a unique opportunity to blend the best of artistic and technical worlds, creating performances that stretch dance and storytelling possibilities within the ballet tradition.

The company performs original ballets choreographed by Inarra Saarinen to music typically composed specifically for the ballet by professional musicians and composers. Performances are twice a week at Ballet Pixelle’s Theatre in the Quat sim.  In addition to the performance schedule, each ballet requires several weeks of rehearsal.

Poseballs and automatic animations are not used in Ballet Pixelle® rehearsals or performances. Dancers move independently, enacting steps and gestures coordinated with the rest of the cast and to the music. For example, a typical rehearsal period during creation of a new ballet is 3 to 4 months with two or more rehearsals a week each lasting approximately two hours.  We all have First Lives, but to be fair to the company and the collaborative nature of our work, Ballet Pixelle® must be considered a priority. Professionalism and serious commitment are required; a sense of humor is appreciated :-)

Auditions are held at the Ballet Pixelle® Theatre:

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Quat/32/22/107

Qualifications:

Applicants should be mature in First Life and have at least six months experience in Second Life.

It is preferred that dancers know some basic ballet and theater terminology.

In addition, participants should have Second Life skills including how to change clothing and skin, transform shape including gender, and move fluidly in three dimensional space and rez basic objects.  Most importantly, you should be comfortable running and stopping individual animations or poses and gestures.

At the audition:

Come dressed in something simple such as a leotard, preferably in a solid single color.  Do not wear shoes with heels. Do not wear anything with bling.  Do not wear tutus or dress as a character.  Do not wear pointe shoes.

We will audition dancers individually, but other auditioners may sit in the audience.

You will be given animations at the audition. You do not need animations, gestures, or a HUD.  We do not use HUDs.

We welcome all interested dancers for consideration. Our cast and crew enjoy this tremendously satisfying and exciting creative process. Register your interest by sending a completed copy of the notecard in the box in the Ballet Pixelle Theatre or send a notecard with details to Ms. Amelie Dibou.
