Seven Sins, Seven Virtues - The Cursed Production Show


So this show has been in the works since 2018.  The goal behind this show was to create one dance for each sin and virtue and run the performance with no "filler" song between dances, which is what is done at our regular performances.  The only break between each dance will be the time used from Aryanna's introduction to the next dance.  Now what does this mean for you?  It means you're going to get double the dances in the same amount of time as our regular performances.  So about an hour as long as SL is cooperative and there are no serious lag issues.  This is definitely a show you'd have to script down for!

We  had finally gotten close to a premiere date, it was set for our 8th Anniversary on the weekend of May 20th.  Then real life reared it's ugly head and a few of us had to focus on that.  We were working on the last three sets for the show when one of the girls had to take medical leave, and I had to do the same regarding my son.  In order for this show to be successful, every director and dancer who signed up has to be present.  There were only three directors who created dances for this show and two of us couldn't commit so this is why we've postponed this show.  It wouldn't matter if I had three directors or ten, everyone who created a dance for this show would have to be present in order for the show to run correctly.  So for now we are going to shelve it until things get back to normal.  I can't wait!!

Coming Home

Dejaye's Hidey Hole
 

Home at last!!  This is the LAST home I will own in Second Life.  When it's gone, I'm gone.  This isn't just any old parcel by a landlord you never actually get to talk to, this was the very first parcel the Dance Xcetera team called home back in 2015.  And my home, "Dejaye's Hidey Hole" was on the ground underneath it.  

There came a time when I could no longer afford the quarter sim and had no idea how moving forward without a theater was going to work.  I figured I could just rent a quarter at show time, but that too was an expense I couldn't really afford at the time.  Then my RL friend Aryanna spoke to her good friend Nigel and he allowed us the use of his sim for no fee.  Our team called the Sandalphon sim home for two years until moving to the Llopango sim owned by a douche bag named Dutchess, someone who stabbed me in the back and almost cost me my team so she could have one of her own.  

Here are some pictures of my home, and the theater.  It sounds crazy but it was sentimental coming back to the Burning Embers sim, where it all started, and on the exact same parcel - I think the universe was telling me something, that this team was meant to be.  I have the best landlord ever, she's very reasonable and wants to make her residents happy.  She's also put out a sim environment and sky.  Simply lovely!  Welcome home to me!
