My Second Life has become as busy as my real life. Where do I find time to explore or build or support my friends' art here?
I have been trying to see AVATARA by Ballet Pixelle all month long. Each performance, I was either too busy in RL or too busy in SL.
So, I was glad to hear that the ballet company decided to extend AVATARA performance until the end of this month (August 2010).
I can remember the first virtual ballet that I saw back in 2007. The movements were still rudimentary and primitive back then. Now, the movements are more complex, more fluid during the transitions.
The performance of AVATARA is beautiful from the simple costumes to the beautiful minimalist watercolor on the back drops.
Two costumes stood out for me: the chess-pawn-shaped costume and the very tall alien costumes. Both were stunning against the backdrops.
The dancing was clean and without too much lag (midweek is a good time to go!), and I did not see any "gray goo" hair or prims.
Try to see this ballet... if only for the visual beauty. Then, be in awe over the incredible animations of the dance itself. This is art and science in one neat package. And, I can't wait for the next artful performance! Bravo! Ballet Pixelle!
