TUESDAY, July 29th at 7pm: THROW BACK THE ROCKET MAN (Encore Presentation)
Once hailed as a hero, and harbinger of the Rapture, the rocket man not finds himself reviled, the cult wanting him and his ship gone Unfortunately, he has nowhere to go, his ship no longer being capable of flight, and he is stranded on a hostile world he should know, but does not. What he brings from the stars is humbling, and thought-provoking.
Kayden and Caledonia reprise their presentation of THROW BACK THE ROCKET MAN from Dreams and Snippets, a 2013 collection of short stories by Iain McCracken (perhaps better known in Second Life as Avatar Repertory Theatre co-founder, Sodovan Torok). The presentation will last slightly longer than the standard hour - 1:20.

MONDAY, July 28th at 7PM: FAR FROM HOME
“Golden Dream: A Fuzzy Odyssey”
by Ardath Mahar
You are two feet tall, covered in golden hair except for face, fingers and toes. It feels like everything in the world wants to eat you. The old ones say "Help will come from the stars! Someday" Perhaps it will, but danger comes from everywhere.

"O For a Fiery Gloom and Thee" presented at Rivendell Terrace above the Elven Forest at the Seanchai Library ~ http://www.kitely.com/search?q=seanchai
grid.kitely.com:8002:Seanchai
I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful - a faery's child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.
A poet meets a knight by a woodland lake. The knight says he had met a beautiful, wild-looking woman, decked with flowers. She spoke a language he did not understand, she made love with him, and they slept. When he awoke the woman was gone and the knight was alone on the cold hillside. The woman was "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" - "the beautiful woman without mercy". Tonight will be this story in poem form from John B. Keats, and a story inspired by the poem from Brian Stableford. Followed by Keats poemLAMIA
When we're through you may wonder... who really possesses loves' power - if anyone.

TUESDAY, July 22nd at 7pm: MIRACLES ~ A TRIO OF ISLAND TALES
"Belief is crucial to life. If there is a through-line
to most of my work, it is the need for all of us to believe in something beyond
ourselves.
"Belief
is woven into all three of the stories in this collection. These stories are
fictionalizations of Tongan history and family stories shared by my
collaborator, Ilaisaane Filikitonga Tome. She is a native born Tongan: an
amazing Polynesian kingdom in the South Pacific known for the friendliness of
its people, an exceptionally high literacy rate, and for devoutly faithful
Christians. The power of her stories is moving and undeniable. You may or
may not share her belief system, and that does not really matter. It is
hard to hear her stories and not recognize the essential power of them."Click Here to learn more about MIRACLES ... and Tonga

THURSDAY July 17th at 7pm: SHARK LIFE! from author Peter Benchley
Sharks come from a wing of the dark castle where our nightmares live—deep water beyond our sight and understanding—and so they stimulate our fears and fantasies and imaginations. Shark attacks on human beings generate a tremendous amount of media coverage, partly because they occur so rarely, but mostly because people are, and always have been, simultaneously intrigued and terrified by sharks. Tonights story session brings light to the truth about sharks with high adventure and real information from master storyteller Peter Benchley - author of Jaws, The Deep, Beast, and many more.

Aoife live in voice.
***
Cailleach on Location!
In Ireland she is also associated with craggy, prominent mountains and outcroppings, such as Hag's Head (Irish: Ceann CaillÃ, meaning "hag's head") the southernmost tip of the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare. The megalithic tombs at Loughcrew in County Meath are situated atop Slieve na Calliagh (Irish:Sliabh na CaillÃ, meaning "the hag's mountain") and include a kerbstone known as "the hag's chair". Cairn T on Slieve na Calliagh is a classic passage tomb, in which the rays of the equinox sunrise shine down the passageway and illuminate an inner chamber filled with megalithic stonecarvings.
In Scotland legend has it that the Cailleach was tired from a long day herding deer. Atop Ben Cruachan she fell asleep on her watch and a well she was tending overflowed, running down from the highlands and flooding the valleys below, forming first ariver and then the loch.The overflowing well is a common motif in local Gaelic creation tales - as seen in the goddess Boann's similar creation of the River Boyne in Ireland. Other connections to the region include her above-mentioned strong ties with the fierce whirlpool in the Gulf of Corryvreckan.

FROM THE LEADS' DESKS ~ Why Kitely? What about Second Life?
Welcome back to our desks!
 |
| Seanchai Library on Imagination Island in Second Life. |
Let’s begin this second installment by making one thing
absolutely clear: we are not abandoning Seanchai operations in Second
Life. We do not plan to. Second Life (SL) is the largest virtual
reality platform in existence, and there’s quite a ways to go before any of the
other grids will overtake it. Linden Labs, whatever you might think of them,
are the industry leaders. We have built
up, over the past six years, a solid program, a network of connections and
relationships, and a track record of success.
Why on earth would we abandon that?
It would be suicidal foolishness.
In Second Life, we operate successfully on a shoe
string. Because our program creates traffic,
we live rent-free at our 850m square parcel on Imagination Island
On the other hand, it has its limits. As we continue to explore creating
increasingly immersive story experiences – an opportunity in what we do that
several of us are very interested in – we run into immediate limits in Second
Life. Those restrictions are, to be
blunt, money and prims. A build like
last year’s Dickens’ Project takes nearly 3800 prims (incomplete, by the way) and the space to manage
them, none of which comes cheap in SL.
To date, we have not been able to break into the Linden Endowment for
the Arts or other similar organizations where we could showcase a broader
experience. They do not see us as
“artists” but as merely “readers.” We
don’t fit into their rubric.
What do we mean by “increasingly immersive”? Most of what we now produce in SL is fairly
presentational: people sit in rows of
seats inside of an environment and we stand (or sit) before them and present
the literature. That is certainly one
way of bringing stories to life, and one that we have been very successful
with. But could there be another means
of becoming transported into the story without shifting completely over to
role play? Imagine you were wandering
through the different environments visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past and
Ebenezer Scrooge in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol while listening to
the original text, presented live.
Imagine exploring an ancient Irish tower house while listening to Gaelic
folk tales. Imagine poking around 221B Baker Street while
listening to a Sherlock Holmes adventure. As long as the environment engages
you within voice range of the speaker, you can wander, explore, sit and
experience the literature just as you do in a more traditional audience-performer setting.
Another consideration for us is that operations in SL are
about as big as they can stand to be.
Scheduling, supervising, hosting, promoting are all necessary parts of
what we do which take a ton of volunteer hours behind-the-scenes every
week. We are about as scheduled as we
can afford to be without the necessity of a full-time person to run the program,
and be compensated for it. That would
push the entire business model on its ear.
We don’t want to do that.
Enter the Kitely Grid.
Suddenly we can have space and prims for a fraction of what it would
cost us in SL. Add to that the recent
entry of Kitely onto the OS Hypergrid, and the opportunity to access new
audiences expands. It is not a simple or
clean comparison. As we are learning now
in our “shakedown cruise” phase, promoting and producing in this new grid is
very different than in SL. But using
what we already know from the last six years, we are rapidly making progress in
this new endeavor, and have created a home world that (as Shandon and I like to
say) reflects our “greatest hits” of the past six years.
As an example of the differential, when preparing for our
recent presentation to Book-It Repertory Theater, we did the math. To try and do the “Pride & Prejudice”
Project in Second Life would cost us over $1000 just for the land and
tier. It would limit us to three months
of the build being live to the public – all construction would have to happen
in sections off site or in sandboxes – and we would only have one sim and 15,000 prims. In Kitely, the project would
require a mere $153 to cover the land for six months. In that case, we are talking about a four-sim
megaregion with 100,000 prims, which we would pay roughly $50 a month for when
it is public, and drastically less when it is not (i.e. when we are building
and testing). With the Hypergrid
extending access, the economics of this are incredibly clear.
 |
| The Seanchai Home World in Kitely |
What we envision for the Seanchai Library in Kitely and in
Second Life are two different things.
They are experiences which, we feel, should compliment each other not
duplicate. So unless the bottom falls
out of Second Life (always possible, but not immediately likely) do not look
for us to be leaving unless we find that our presence there no longer has
validity or effectiveness. We invite you
to consider joining us in Kitely to further explore and experiment with what is
possible for the immersive presentation of live literature in a virtual
setting. It is still all about the
stories – how they inspire and inform our lives.
Literally Yours,
~ Caledonia & Shandon

“Outlaws & Legend of the West”
True Tales of Gunslingers, Desperados and Lawmen.
Most of these folks did not live to an old age, and those that did were probably in jail! Their escapades were daring and reckless and many paid the ultimate price in the end. These are tales of an exciting and dangerous era in America's history. Whilst the events that took place are primarily true, your storyteller might take a certain amount of creative license regarding what may, or may not, have been spoken by these characters.

TUESDAY, July 8th at 7pm: A DOG'S LIFE Concludes
“'A Dog’s Purpose' is the most accurate window into a dog’s mind I have ever encountered. I couldn’t put it down, and once I finished it, I actually felt as if my dog, who had recently passed away, was speaking to me through this book. a triumph, impeccably detailed with intelligence and heart. I feel like I have been waiting my whole life for this book.”
—Dina Zaphiris, Host of 'Petfinder' on Animal Planet
“ This book is a classic. a beautiful, uplifting, tenderly told, frequently funny, and exquisitely moving story....I am awash in the tears of recognition every dog lover will shed when they read this remarkable book.”
—Iris Dart, New York Times bestselling author of "Beaches"
Kayden & Caledonia conclude their selections tonight from this remarkable story of one endearing dog’s search for his purpose over the course of several lives. More than just another charming dog story, A DOG'S PURPOSE touches on the universal quest for an answer to life's most basic question: Why are we here?

FROM THE LEADS' DESKS ~ Who Are We?
Greetings all!
 |
| Caledonia's Desk at Seanchai Library in Second Life |
Shandon and I discuss Seanchai Library quite often: almost
constantly, in fact. We bash ideas
around, share perspectives on what is currently in progress, in addition to
discussing potential featured charities, and other more mundane details. Because we are a lead staff of two, and
because we are the longest-tenured active storytellers on staff, we thought it
might be a good idea to share some of our thoughts on what we do at Seanchai,
and where we are going.
The two questions that seem to come up most are:
- So, what makes you different from all the other language arts groups on the grid?
- Why Kitely? What about Second Life?
Let’s address the first question in this post, and the other in a future post. In many ways, this first response
informs and drives the other.
What is Seanchai Library?
We are a virtual library that celebrates literature as a living thing,
stories as an active adventure for listeners and readers alike. We have been successfully presenting
literature, traditional stories, and other spoken word online for over six
years.
We were founded on several basic ideas:
- Avatars do not read books, people do. Good literature and great stories are essential parts of the human experience.
- Live, oral presentation in a virtual environment provide an experience that is intimate, immediate, and very personal.
- People who connect with a particular story will, and should, seek it out in all of its forms – reading, out loud, on stage, in films, etc.
We often get queries and suggestions that we “get together
with” other groups on both the Second Life and Kitely Grid that seem to be
doing the same thing that we are. We
almost always look into these recommendations, as one of our strategies over
the last six years has been that the best way to build and serve a community is
to develop a network of sympathetic, mutually beneficial relationships. We have even considered more permanent
partnerships with some. The process is
always enlightening, and leads to a clearer self-definition.
The metaverse is filled with stories: role play, author
tools, in some cases the very nature of virtual creativity is based in the
sharing of a narrative. There are many
groups doing many good things across many grids. We honor and respect that
work. But we do not all do exactly the same things. At Seanchai Library, we present a broad base of literary
styles and genres, we do not analyze and discuss, some of us are writers but we
are not about the writing process, we encourage and enable (when possible)
people to connect with the titles and authors we share.
Encourage.
Inspire. Those are our
goals. From there, our guests, friends,
and family can make choices: read, write, discuss, explore, and create. Certainly the opportunities to do so abound
in Second Life and the OS Hypergrid.
Meanwhile, we remain steadfastly doing what we do best: bringing stories of all kinds to life
in virtual worlds.
Literally Yours,
~ Caledonia
