ZeroG SkyDancers

SkyDance V – “Innocence End” by DC Spensley, also known as DanCoyote Antonelli in Second Life.

This is the fifth full redesign of the SkyDance show since the troupe’s founding in May of 2006, and features the original  musical score by Josh Zamo, all new choreography performed by the SkyDancers (Anhinga Chaika, Tatiana Kurri, Angelique Menoptra, Buffy Beale, Pielady Smalls, Talulah Bancroft, Wytchwhisper Sadofsky, Juji Kumsung, Neena Botanical and Dot Pellazi), all new cascade costumes by DC Spensley, and a three-kilometer (3000m) stage set by DanCoyote in collaboration with some of the top creators in Second Life including Oberon Onmura and Selavy Oh.

The ZeroG SkyDancers log into Second Life from all over North America to perform for audiences in real time. The SkyDance V program consists of dramatic in-flight choreography telling a story of an interstellar people whose bliss is to dance forever in the depths of space. The Sufolla have no guile and when they are set upon by the Gopus Bülie, “The Destroyer of Dreams” they are desperate to return the Gopus to its ancient cage where it can no longer torment them. The Sufolla sacrifice one of their own to anoint as the Hereau, one who can never again be like them but who has the strength to struggle with the Gopus Bülie.

Will the Hereau defeat the Gopus and help the Sufolla?
Its your decision in SkyDance V because audience participation determines the outcome of the storyline.

Performances will be on Wednesday evenings at 7PM SLT. Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before showtime to be seated and learn how to configure your viewer and complimentary heads up display for optimum enjoyment.

Monday, August 24, 2009 was the first meeting of SkyDancer performers to talk about the new show and work on scheduling.

Attending were performers:
Anhinga Chaika, Tatiana Kurri, Angelique Menoptra, Lina Lageos, Pielady Smalls, Wytchwhisper Sadofsky, Talulah Bancroft and CJ27 Jigsaw. Buffy Beale had a family engagement.

Also attending were: Technical Director ZenMondo Wormser and Artistic Director DC Spensley (author of this post)

This was our last meeting at NMC’s Ars Simulacra, where the last two SkyDancer productions were hosted. NMC has offered us a much less populated sim to work in at Coliseum West, which has been renamed Coliseum West – Ars SkyDancer for our puproses. It took a few tries to get the sim all set up and ready for our production in terms of privs and media controls, but thanks to Larry, Tayzia, Stella and Anhinga we were successful getting a blank canvas ready for the new show.

The first meeting was full of high spirits as we prepare to enter into a new cycle of rehearsals and full bore development on the new production. This means a lot of hard work for everyone involved and everyone seems ready and raring to go after the summer break.

Meetings are Tuesday nights at 6:30PM SLT
