Announcement: Ballet Pixelle Presents "The Nut"

 
Ballet Pixelle® will present its special traditional "The Nut" ballet throughout December.  This is the 15TH YEAR anniversary for Ballet Pixelle to present "The Nut", which premiered in 2007!

Ballet Pixelle performs its version of the Nutcracker, using Artistic Director Inarra Saarinen's own animations and choreography, and utilizing some of the particular attributes of virual reality.  "The Nut" is Ballet Pixelle's essence of The Nutcracker so you can see just the wonderful, and our truly original, dances.

Does Clara become the Princess to her Nutcracker as he becomes the Prince of her dreams?  We see mysterious dances in the white castle.  Arabian dancers fly in on magic carpets.  A Russian cossack stamps out a dance.  Russian dolls roll and play.  Chinese empresses and emperors move on delicate feet, and Spanish senoritas and senoras throw themselves flamboyantly.  A field of flowers waltz together.  And even snowflakes dance!

Performances are Wednesdays at 5:00 pm and Sundays at 5:00 pm SLT throughout December in Ballet Pixelle's new Grand Theatre.

Join us for an evening of classic, and yet new, holiday delights.  Chat with the performers and crew after the performance for autographs, photos, and a question & answer session.

"Couleurs de la Danse" is a ballet about color...and dance.
There is no story, there is only movement.
A dashing and strong danseur in green with his vibrant green ballerina. 

A  quick and jazzy danseur in red with his fleet-footed and daring red ballerina. 

And a study in femininity and grace -- the lavender ballerina.
Then, a solo ballerina in white lace daintily follows the lines of the baroque violins.
And finally, red passion erupts!

Discussions following all performances.  Please come early as seats fill quickly!

"Windows" by the Ballet Pixelle

When one thinks of dancing in Second Life, ballet is not usually what comes to mind. But this example of culture and the arts can be found here on the Grid too. Gemma Cleanslate recently heard of a performance by the Ballet Pixelle named "Windows." So she went by to see it.

"Nuts about Ballet"

After my visits to Virtual Ability and the set of "The 1st Question" on Sunday Jan 8th, I stopped to check out a Second Life rendition of "The Nutcracker" I got a bulletin about, "Nut about the Nutcracker" by Ballet Pixelle.


The show was well received by the audience, a few of whom looked more like they were headed for a biker rally than the ballet. There's no shortage of fans on the Grid of high culture, or at least those whom appreciate talent in any form.

The show was at the Quat sim (42, 20, 108).
