the Ina Centaur The SLCC Introduction

 Atonement After the Passing of a Friend  Live entertainment without boundaries  Got Internet? No geographical boundaries.  Got Voice? No physical discrimination.  Revive the Bard!  Environmental Reasons!

 Artistic Despot (References provided on request!)  Head fundraisers mostly for PR  Make up for everything where anything lacks… Hmm… a tyrannical fairy…

 We are known for our visual appeal, but:  With every production, we create and introduce a new technology in the nascent field of virtual theatre.  This is how we create and revolutionize the Art:

 Integrated Real-Time Multi-Language Subtitles System  On-stage  HUD  Scripted Lip-synch system  Photorealistic skins  Sculpted talking faces  Optimized textures  Historically-accurate Elizabethan attire  4-sim SL Globe Theatre live performance >>

 In conjunction with “Shakespeare 24”  Consulted RL Shakespearean scholars from around the world  “Comprehensive Review” of over 100 SL stores for attire  Usage of “piped” Elizabethan-accurate era music in SL theatre, composed by SL musician  Maintained standard for actor alt’s  (And, everything from before) >>

 Fully-costumed staged reading series  Fully utilized SL’s ease to change visual personalities completely  Developed a grayscale outfit style, “devoid of the color of motion.”  Utilized viewer built-in lip-synch.  “Moving cast”, tag-team performance of Shakespearean play  Unabridged, first folio performance >>

 An unlikely contemporary play with time travel to grace the Globe stage  “Seamless advertisements”  Interactive, too!  Real equations incognito…  Box-set on the Globe stage  Fits the Globe  Clotheslines above the pit?!  Real-time director-controlled dynamic camera controls  First with synch across 4-sims >>

 Global lighting changed for each scene  Multiple sets, sans rezzer  “Archetypal Attire”  Usage of a “real storm” on stage (exemplified in upcoming Demo)  “Preview Season”

 24-hour “silent” text-chat performance by “Bot-actors” and Celebrities…  Completely scripted choreography  Self-guided paths across entire sim  SL Shakespeare Skates!  Prior to SL Voice, these “actors” might have passed the Turing Test… >>

 All the tech goodies from Twelfth Night, Act 1 in Nov ‘08  First open-ended run of a play on SL  Guided-Moving lights  Variations, such as Switched Gender and Super Spoof!  Live Demo @ NAST Conference to 3000 RL theatre admin’s

 To Set the Show and Create the Legend  The 4-Sim SL Globe Theatre  Blackfriars Theatre  Additional Architecture Prominent in Shakespeare’s Lifetime (Pics in sLiterary Presentation)  Bard’s Birthplace  Anne Hathaway’s House  Arden’s House  Garrick’s Inn / Harvard House  Nash House / New Place >>
