Shall we call creative activity play?

Avatar Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) auditions for a female actor this week

A.R.T. is a repertory theater in Second Life that produces an array of projects including theater, machinima and original works. Currently, we are searching for a youthful female voice. Acting experience in SL/RL is not a requirement, but is definitely a PLUS.



What you will get is an opportunity to join a growing artistic group full of talented people in a creative environment. 


This is NOT a salaried position.  We do get tips, donations and occasionally payments, which we divide up between members and/or put into an account for later use. But mostly, "we rely on the kindness of strangers." Ok that's a bad Tennessee Williams joke, but you get the picture. We do it for the love of the arts and to learn and grow as artists.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: 
Your real age is not a concern, only that your voice has or can have a “young” sound and quality (think teenager to late twenties).


You must be able to speak English fluently. We LOVE having people who speak other languages, and we love accents, but a good grasp of English is necessary.


The auditions will be held in SL voice. 
- You must have suitable equipment (headphones, microphone)
- You must have SL voice enabled.
- You need to have a Skype account (you can get a free Skype account at www.skype.com) as we sometimes have to move to Skype. 


Please note that this means you MUST be able to do performances in which you may have to speak loudly. Audition only if you are in a home or work situation where you can use voice relatively freely.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AUDITION DATES & TIMES:


Tuesday, December 29th 2009 -- 9:00am-12:00pm SLT
9:00-9:15am             9:15-9:30am             9:30-9:45am             9:45-10:00am

11:00-11:15am       11:15-11:30am        11:30-11:45am       11:45-12:00pm


Wednesday, December 30th 2009 -- 9:00am-11:00am/6:00pm-8:00pm SLT

When it is time for your audition, you will be contacted by AvaJean Westland and teleported to the location. Make sure to give yourself enough time to get into world before your audition.

A SECOND LIFE NATIVITY PLAY



This short play performed in VOICE is a humorous satire on Second Life borrowing some themes from the Christmas Nativity Story.  None of the characters is intended directly to represent any Biblical personalities; but the audience is warned that some religious people may find the play objectionable. It is not intended for under-18s and children should not be present during the show. 
  
The play will be presented for the first time in SL on December 24th at 3:00 p.m. SL time.

Following the short play (less than a half hour) there will be dancing with Lena Lei, DJ from the Jabber Jockeys, spinning out the music.

Two new people in Second life: Players on the New York Giants.

Players on the New York Giants.


Eli Manning  (SL: lamar Ganloso)
Hakeem  Nicks   (SL: Nickantonio619 Adder)
Eli is interested in ships and sailing.  
Hakeem is looking for someone to play chess with him.  
There is a chess set at Rockcliffe Conversation Plaza
I took them over to ANWR and to Hollywood sim.  
I invited them into the Hobo Helpers
If anybody has other things to show them, send them an IM.
I guess they will be pretty busy this Sunday
Eli would be available for meetings about football experiences.
I think that might make good streaming on the web.

Writers in Second Life

My Google Reader turned up another useful link:


 Virtual Writers, Inc.


I know some of the people who are writing on it.  I am pointing it out to let other people know about it.  If you are interested in writing, you probably want to check it out.  We have a number of writing groups in Second Life.  At meetings, people read things they are working on and get comment.  We also have several workshops or classes conducted in Second Life by experienced writers.

The Wave again

Azwaldo Villota gave a report about the Google Wave meet up last Saturday.
http://instructionalalchemy.com/blog/2009/12/22/integrating-wave-with-second-life-lessons-learned/


Most important observation: We did not identify a compelling need for bringing Wave capability directly into Second Life.  


Geo Meek demonstrated that he can distribute the url to his video stream via a Wave. The usual way of distributing such a link in SL is to copy-paste in into local chat or into group IM.  


This arrangement may be more convenient for distributing a link, but does not provide any more motivation to be able to pipe a wave into or out of SL.
