Stick Dances
The double bill was performed to a large audience at our Gallery on Saturday, 15 January. Janjii Rugani presented a wonderful avatar version of the piece with colors and lights, accompanied by the excellent music of Soundsmith Kamachi. We hope to have them back in the future to present more of these pieces.
Prim Torturing Hour on the second half featured Sunn Thunders, sculptor, following the idea of sticks to create a glowing art piece on our stage. AldoManutio Abruzzo created an improvisation using sounds performed inworld by Flivelwitz Alsop, which were processed by Aldo, and re-streamed into SL. The sculpture is sitting on our stage at the Gallery; you can come visit anytime.

The Stick Dance at the Gallery
STICK DANCE
This presentation is a reconstitution in Second Life of the STICK DANCE by Oskar Schlemmer, a teacher and artistic director of the Bauhaus.
Bauhaus - German avant-garde school of designers, art and architecture , one of the largest and most important expressions of what we call "modernism."
Oskar Schlemmer was an accomplished sculptor, painter, set designer, costume designer, choreographer and dance producer with a recognized artistic reputation.
When he was invited by the Bauhaus he developed a series of dances at the theater workshop including the STICK DANCE and Triadic Ballet.
In this challenging exercise of abstraction, he developed new poetic forms to animate the performing arts.
The project to rebuild the STICK DANCE was a contribution to a broader research project of Professor Ernesto Boccara to reconstitute the Triadic Ballet at the Centro Universitario SENAC, São Paulo, Brazil.
The art teacher, dancer and designer Isa Seppi, in partnership with Prof. Lucio Agra, conducted the opening performance of sticks for a real-life ballet performance in 2008.
It has now been recreated in Second Life by her avatar, Janjii Rugani. In another exercise she is studying the conversion of analog language to digital, seeking to preserve the concepts defined by Schlemmer in 1922.
The music for the Second Life performance of the dance was written by Soundsmith Kamachi. A hobby musican in real life, he works as an Vista Hermosa Art Center ( VHAC) director in Second Life, occassionally performing his own music in world.
His composition for STICK Dance is based on a percussive ostinato that repeats through all three movements of the dance, creating a fundament for pentatonic melodies and soundscapes. The music for Dance was composed solely using virtual instruments.

Hope to see everybody there!
