SEANCHAI Spring Sessions to Begin!

 

We're baaaaack!

Starting Tuesday, May 20th at 7pm slt, Spring Stories will begin and continue through June.  Presenters will include Caledonia Skytower, Fayleen Belois, and Finn Zeddmore, plus it will mark the return (very soon) of Russell Eponym's weekly Tuesday Noon music-story sessions.

Caledonia kicks off the sessions with Jane Yolen's short verse novel Finding Baba Yaga, live in the Glen.  A young woman discovers the power to speak up and take control of her fate—a theme that has never been more timely than it is now…

A harsh, controlling father. A quiescent mother. A house that feels like anything but a home. Natasha gathers the strength to leave, and comes upon a little house in the wood: A house that walks about on chicken feet and is inhabited by a fairy tale witch. In finding Baba Yaga, Natasha finds her voice, her power, herself.

All stories presented live in SL Voice, OR on Stream (occasionally both!)

THE BRADBURY PROJECT is Open! Now through November 16th

The newest Seanchai special project celebrates the work of American author Ray Bradbury. It follows the path of eight boys on an adventure to save the life of their friend on Halloween Night. Guided by the mysterious Mr. Moundshroud, they travel through time and space, learning about different cultures, and how each views and deals with death.

• Monday, October 30th from 9-11pm slt - DJ JAdmiral Maelstrom

This project is built in two skyboxes that follow the path of the first third of the story "The Halloween Tree"

LEVEL 1: It begins in a neighborhood on the edge of Green Town, a fictional Midwest American town that is the scene for a great number of Ray Bradbury's works, including "Something Wicked This Way Comes," the collection "Dandelion Wine", and "The Halloween Tree."

LEVEL 2: Moundshroud's House - The Halloween Tree. The path picks up in the center of the ravine, approaching the home of Mr Moundshroud, with The Halloween Tree on the grounds, and a path to the Kite Barn, where the first third of the story concludes. Reference to places that the boys and Mr Moundshroud visit in their succeeding adventure are represented within Moundshroud's House in this Project.

The Bradbury Project uses the “Caledonian Studios” and “Quantum Products” experiences. Accept these to navigate and see the project as designed. We recommend that you set your draw distances to 125, and use shared environment.

As a fallback, you could set your viewer EEP to A-6PM or any other dusk-like EEP.  It will not look as good as the EEP the build was created for, but it will suffice.

The Bradbury Project will remain open through November 16th.

Coming to Seanchai Library starting June 5th: JUNE SHORTS!

Yeah! It's time to dust off your sandals, flip-flops, and freshen up those shorts and sun-dresses for the imminent months of sunshine and warmth.

We've taken shorts on in a different way. We've combed through lists of "the best" or "the greatest" short stories in the English language (one list was 500 entries long!  Seriously!). We've created a list of our own, and included some short stories that are "our favorites". We'll be sharing them live at the various outdoor venues at our #SecondLife home on Nowhereville. 

We'll provide the lemonade and some "picnic-ables." Join us fireside!
