Beyond the Beyond
Greetings from Second Life virtual world...we are the ChangHigh Trinity Sisters of Light, Life and Love... and we have over the last 2 and a half year performed artistic circus shows at on the virtual grid called Second Life. (((You don't say.)))
We are 4 people, respectively from Denmark, Holland, Portugal, Germany and our DJ from America, who over the years have created a super advanced live performance show, including fire dancing in trapezes, on high wire, rolling balls and the rump of our elephant Black Zambo but also together with some of Second Life´s best scriptwriters and animators have created a dozen of very human acrobatic pyramid positions, which we perform as duos, trios and with help from the audience or friends even as 5, 6 or 7 avatars to a pyramid. We firedance, perform with firepois, firesticks, firewings, fire helmets, lightning batons and use a variety of extra ordinary animations and stunts to create a realistically live show, including changes of clothes and various stage set ups.
(((And you're from "Denmark, Holland, Portugal and Germany"? What got into you people? Don't answer that.)))
We have learned the art of poofing (electronic fireworks) and have not only selected the best from the world (and the worse :-)) , but actually have initiated various scriptwriters to create the special effects which we like to spice the shows with as colorful decoration, enlightening and spectacular visual performances.
Each performance is designed specifically for the event, whether it be a birthday, wedding, charity or grand opening...we combine our 4+ dancers, musicians and DJ’s creating a mixture of highly spiritual music and cosmic speech blended with universal insight, wisdom and philosophy. (((Now that the philosophy finally showed up, I know you're European.)))
We travel all across the Second Life grid sharing our message and joy of life, light and love. Or to use your slogan we connect people with a very human technology, since we all have to be functioning behind our respective screens, live and aware, ready to react to the circumstances which each show always demands.
We bring a message, with due respect to each event and with deep consideration for human individuality, which in essence is as follows:
We sleep beneath one roof...our starry sky
We warm ourselves at one hearth...the blazing sun
We breathe one air and drink one water and
Walk the night beneath one luminescent moon
We are the children of one God...brothers and sisters of one blood and members in one worldwide Family of God
(((Okay, that's pretty poetic, but aren't you, like, really 4 European 2L hippies sitting at 4 different computer screens?)))
We are the most advanced live performers on the grid and we will on the day of October 17th at the grand opening of Burning Life (an event equal to Burning Man in America) do a super show called The Burning Woman.
We was scheduled to perform at the Presidential Inauguration January 20, 2009 along with a few other big names like Cypress Rosewood, Cylindrian Rutabaga and Tamra Sands to name 3 others, all real live musicians in USA.
We did 31 shows in 2007, 71 in 2008 and up until now in 2009 we have done 39 shows.
WE hope this little description of us may be useful in your work covering Circus in space (((I didn't know I *was* covering circus in space, but one has to start somewhere))) and we look forward to hearing from you
I received your article, the link from a friend
In Light, Life and Love,
Yman Juran, Lisa Ra, Melvin Starbrook and Claudia Marja. (This is our Second Life names)
