Announcement: "Holiday Dreams" by Spirit Light Dance Company

Spirit Light Dance Company Brings You
                                                       

~~* HOLIDAY DREAMS *~~
                                                  

Sunday November 25th and

 December 9th 

12:00 Noon Slt
                                              

Sponsored by
Rockcliffe University  

                                                 
It’s all about the spirit of the season . . . A spirit that is revealed through reflection, and through the soothing and almost misty images of our dreams.  Maybe the dreams have an ethereal look, or perhaps a rousing beat, or even a call to action.  Regardless, we embrace them—even cling to them—for the serenity and transcendence that they offer during this time of celebration.

The dancers of the SLDC proudly present an excursion through dreams.  The journey begins with seasonal favorites, inviting the audience to enter this special time with the pealing of bells and the rhythmic richness of classic melodies.  The opening number is followed by dreams of peace, of fantasy, of transformation, of promise, of a bright tomorrow, and of hope.  And of course, interspersed amongst these dreams are sugar-plum visions.  The dancers conclude with dreams gone wild that will make the audience clamor for Santa himself!

The holiday season offers the perfect moment for the mating of technology and art to produce the enchanting and soul-stirring expressions of dance that have become hallmarks of the Spirit Light Dance Company.  Through the artistic direction of Caryl Meredith, and her company of choreographers and performers, audience members will find themselves transported to the land in which dreams are born.  It will be an unforgettable experience.
   
Come join us on November 25 and December 9, 12:00 Noon SLT, at the Theater of Light, Rockcliffe University.  Come early to get a good seat.  Maybe you will have some time to dream!

Arrive by 11:30 to be sure to get a seat. This show is sure to fill up early. 
Please arrive with your scripts 50 or under...

Forest of Dreams

Gemma Cleanslate recently took a look at a picturesque area in Second Life called the "Forest of Dreams." Located in the Isle of Peace sim, the area was build by Nessa Zamora (Noralie78 Resident). Looking like a setting for a Medieval Fantasy story, the place was well designed, and offers much to see.

Benefit Concert for Dreams Sims

By Bixyl Shuftan



On Saturday February 8, there will be a music benefit in behalf of the Dreams Sims. Contacting Sophia Krell, one of the residents there, she described the area as "a group of non-profit Sims where avatars come for support group meetings, building contests" and more. The Dreams Sims lack the ability to allow for tax deductions, so the sims have been running thanks to donations. But with the real life economy in poor shape, donations have been dropping to the point something new is needed. So they decided to start holding benefit concerts.

A notecard about the Dreams Sims described them as " place where many things happen.  Started by The Sojourner (Soj) , Rick Kent, Amalthea Blanc and a few others, a sim was created to accomplish a number of dreams. To provide a base for creative interaction among people in SL. To provide an area for teaching, holding discussions, and holding events. To provide a support base for people who encounter strokes (brain attacks) in their own lives or in the lives of their loved ones."

Six groups make the Dreams Sims their home. Besides the Dream Builders, Dream Travelers, and Dreams Tringo Players, there's the ADHD Support Group, the Brigadoon Explorers (Aspergers/Autism Support Group), and ShockProof (Stroke Support Group). Among the events are Texture Building and Speed Building contests, support group meetings, building classes, Sock Hops, and Holiday parties.

The event is Saturday February 8th at 7 PM SL time. Riendra Taselian will be the live performer for the concert, which will be at Brain Island, The Sojourners Dream (88, 41, 31).
