SLEA2: Lestat Zalivstok is now building! - Liaison Regi
SLEA3: Gem Preiz's Nausicaa! - Liaison: Dee
Nausicaa - an island of waves and wind
In Homer's Odyssey, Nausicaa is the princess of the Pheaciens, a people of sailors who live on an island "away, in the middle of a rough sea, so far that no mortal has trade with them". She rescues Ulysses stranded on the shore.In Hayao Miyazaki’s animation movie, Nausicaa is the princess of the Valley of the Winds, who glides in the air on her white bird, divine of sincerity and compassion.
Nausicaa is an architectural construction entirely made of curves, evoking waves and wind, and using only prims (*). Intentionally non textured, it contrasts its shining whiteness and minimal use of colors, with the very dark universes filled with colorful lights of the installations of my previous SLEA grant: Lines of Light, Color & Glow, and A Dark Star.
I hope that this world, and the objects and sculptures it contains, provides visitors with a tranquil moment of contemplation, like those inspired by the slow movement of the waves sweeping over the sandy beaches, or by the caress of a sea breeze on the face.
Please enjoy your visit here, under the sky which is integral part of Nausicaa, and listening to the soft music of the stream. (*) however, two complex prims, unstable for viewers in their original settings, had to be saved as collada files and reuploaded in mesh to make their shape stable. SLEA4(SW/NW): Kerupa Flow is now building! - Liaison Regi SLEA4 (SE/NE): Steve Ruhig-Allen's Sarabonde Theater! - Liaison Regi Sarabande offers a rich theatrical experience, with productions ranging from ballet and contemporary dance to musicals and drama.

Music for Performances - Rick Wakeman
This Immersive Sim has been created by Klark Harvy - Producer and Artistic Director of Virtuoso Performing Arts.
Klark has also created the Journey Theatre, Effects, and all Immersive Stage Sets for this production, from concept to completion.
His vision for this installation, was to bring to life the story through words , music, dance, light and effects.
The message to our guests being to take heed of the Hero's Journey Concept that flows through this story;
The Ordinary World. The Call to Adventure.Refusing the Call to Adventure.Meeting the Mentor.Crossing the Threshold. Test, Allies, and Enemies. Approach to the Innermost Cave. The Supreme Ordeal.The return with the Elixir
Perseverance in spite of hardships, even to the point of ignoring reason, and we can also see the struggle for survival in a hostile environment.Our fears to be faced, our dreams and hopes to be realised, how painful separation in love affects us, our sense of adventure and awe for our mysterious and ever changing planet felt. To travel inside of yourself and find your guides and allies, and discover your strength. To take that Learning Journey, delve into the mystery, be lost, fight the battles weather the storms and to return again with knowledge and experience your own inner growth, to bring what you have learned into your life, to let go and to be ready for the next adventure.
At the Landing point you can pick up your hiking gear and then take the hike the travellers would have had to reach the entrance to the volcano, there will be some experiences along the way and some surprises too!
The Performances will be fully choreographed dances to the complete score written by Rick Wakeman, with a cast of over 20 people.
Also involved in the creative aspects of this Event are Bridget Beresford, and Delaney Jenson.
Bridget and Delaney are both Choreographers working with the Virtuoso Dance Team. They have also had input with ideas and suggestions for the creation of the sim, and the experiences along the routes.
Delaney has compiled all the music files to be played for this event, and will stream the music for performances.
Morganna Wulfsong and Emma Enchantment will also complete the Choreography Team for these shows.
