Ariellum Theatre, New Gallery to open on Idle Rogue this weekend

Live Entertainment mavericks Idle Rogue continue their juggernaut presence in the Second Life environment, this weekend opening a newly built theatre, gallery and club venue on the sim, while the infamous Guerilla Burlesque Revue resumes performances from this Friday.

Built by Chryblnd Scribe and Chewie Quixote, the new theatre is designed to be a lighter and brighter space, while still maintaining the originality for which Idle Rogues are so well known. The theatre has been named The Ariellum:

'Named for the magical sprite of Shakespere's The Tempest, the Ariellum is a theater that, like it's name sake, combines the finest virtues of humanity with it's own unquenchable desire for freedom and light.  An alchemy of air and magic, the Ariellum serves as a true servant who serves the highest goal of all- Art.'  

(Thanks to Matt Baldoni for this contribution, Matt, please feel free to come and write copy for me any time!)

The redesigned building offers a more egalitatrian seating arrangement - seats are still reserved for the fee-paying Guerilla Burlesque Exclusive fan group, but we have set the seating out in tiers that allow you to sit with your friends who may not be fan club members, which many exclusive fans felt was important. You like to bring new friends to meet us, and we like them to feel welcome when they get here, so we hope the new arrangement suits everyone.

Our seating is now laid out so that every seat is within chat range of the stage; this is for both the audience's viewing comfort, as it should make it easier for you to see fully rezzed sets and dancers, with animations correctly synchronised and additionally, it allows the dancers to hear your comments and especially applause, which is something they rather enjoy.

Eventually it is intended that we will configure a kind of "holodeck" arrangement inside the theatre, allowing us to set up different seating and staging configurations and a wider range for performances and events.



Guerilla Burlesque's Revue resumes performances this Friday (May 13th) at 7pm and at Midnight, presenting two different shows for your enjoyment. We have new dancers on the schedule this month, as well as almost all of your old favourites, and we have some terrific event performances in the works, including a long-awaited reprise performance of Mayfair, the Dance Entertainment Production based on Anne Rice's novel The Witching Hour.

We're also in production for Full Metal Corset, and industrial/metal burlesque event, and will be performing at the delightful Indie Teepee festival, along with our annual pilgrimage to Burn2. And there's more, but we've already said to much shhhh


Commencing Saturday night (May 14th) we are delighted to welcome the contribution of Ed Aulder to the Idle Rogue family. Ed will curate a small art collection for the new Rogues Gallery portico on the eastern side of the theatre, and his opening exhibition features works from Bianca Xavorin and Milly Sharple. With sponsorship from Franney and Chry, we're planning a small but inclusive party to celebrate the new venue, which we hope will provide a thought provoking interlude for those who appreciate such things. Blues icon JavaJoe MacIntyre will perform at 7pm and the event is open to all. It's also an unofficial birthday party for Ed, so please do come along and wish him well!

Of course the sim continues to provide a respectable front for the shenanigans at After Dark, one of Second Life's premier live music venues run by the unfailingly charming Meegan Danitz and her equally alluring crew, be sure to stay in touch with their calendar and blog for events four night each week.

We're hosting a birthday party for chry on May 21st, it's a Very Big Birthday so you can expect a great lineup of music and some fun and games from the Rogues.

And don't forget to check out the Metaharpers stage on the sim, where you can rez stages from some of Second Life's best dancers and click to make yourself the star of the show!

Cordie takes you time travelling the old fashioned way - with great music and dance from times past
4pm - Demented Clowns with DJ Lobo and Aubreya Joszpe
It's Hells. It's Aubs. They're demented, and they're clowns, and you know this will be the most fun you can have standing up, so get your big feet on, let's go.
8pm - Tribal Fusion with DJ Lindy Hopper 
The elegant and erudite Lindy Hopper crafts playlists of fusion and tribal music that are at once remote and yet familiar. Equipped with the superpower of enabling you to feel swept away to exotic locations within the first four minutes of hearing her music, Hopper's warm and charming persona completes a truly memorable musical experience
10pm - Tribal Fusion Belly Dance Pit 
The Belly Dance Pit, scene of so much languor and delight this Burn 2 week, welcomes proponents of the Tribal/Fusion school today. Take your seats around the circular stage and enjoy the passionate melding of cultures.

Something for our Southern Hemisphere Rogues, an old favourite rejoins us for a run at the Burn stage. Tallyesin is a sublime vocalist-guitarist with a smooth but never bland musical style. Playing covers you will instantly recognise and his own alt-ballads, Tally presents a rich and engaging musical experience in the wee small hours.

Yesterday's Mail

It was all about that space last night at Camp Roguery. It's hard to spell, isn't it, Roguery? I've seen some wild version of it this week!

Wednesday started with a Belly Dance session in the traditional style. Performances from Aubreya Joszpe, Maar Vollous, Queenie Acacia, Anashara Dubois, Thea Dee, Chewie Smith and of course the Queen of The Pit for 2015, Cyllene Dembo, flashed and twirled "old school style" for a relaxed but attentive audience reclining amongst the cushions.

Cordie's interactive dance sessions are always well-attended, and you could see the words "food fight" brought them from across the Playa.

 Voodoo Shilton and his harem of (yet more) belly dancers took the floor from 8pm. Voodoo never disappoints, with his warm demeanour and his formidable fingers. He warned us that FunkyFreddy was going to be in the mood to tell stories, and he was on the money. With or without music, Freddy is a superlative storyteller who ranges through images that cannot be anything but a very human Americana.

Guerilla Burlesque ran a dance show featuring acts about Space and SciFi, with presentations from Zahara Ethaniel, Maeve Branner, Blaze DeVivre, Chewie Quixote and another coup de grace from Cyllene Dembo, who reprised her 2014 redemption epic, "Death Is The Road To Awe' to loud acclaim.

We closed out the night with in-theme tunes from the encyclopedic collection of Maeve Branner. As the nerd among the geeks I was lost in space, but the crowd were fun and fabulous, and that's what it really takes to make a great night out.

Wednesday October 21st at Camp Roguery | Burn 2

Wednesday's Schedule:

4pm Traditional Belly Dance
The art form relies on simulating percussion and flow with the hips and torso, and these shows have been carefully produced to show off exactly that. These shows are hypnotic and sensual and today's Traditional display starts your Roguery day.

5pm - Interactive Dance Fun with Cordelia Cerise
Cordie's Interactive dance session today is a food fight, which promises to be a wet sticky mess you need to change the colour of your meditations.

8pm - Voodoo Shilton (live musician)
A gifted guitarist, Voodoo Shilton is in the top tier of performers in Second Life who can often be found roaming around in the jazz, gypsy, world, blues, classical and fusion genres. Musically satisfying performance from a classy entertainer

9pm - Funky Freddy Republic (live musician)
Freddy's distinctive vocals lend themselves to the classics of Americana, but his repertoire includes flashes of psychedelia and original rock, blues and alternative pieces .

At 10pm Space and SciFi Revue with Guerilla Burlesque
Yes, it's the home team, your dance troupe, presenting the best of their Sci Fi and Space themed acts in a revue directed by Chewie Quixote. Don't be shy, come in theme, you know we love it when you play with us ;)

From 11pm we round out the night with DJ Maeve Branner. Maeve's regular set on Idle Rogue is a nostalgic mindfuck of classics, covers and weird shit you are strangely drawn to and cannot leave. Like Space Food bars!

Yesterday's Mail

The day started quietly with Cordie's workout and a lull in the adventures until the Tutu Ball at 8pm. What a terrific event that was! Thea Dee took over the hud requirements, and the tunes were very well received. Outfits were dazzling and the banter was thoroughly entertaining from where I was standing. I recommend you check out Ty Szondi's photos for a feel for the Tutu love.

Exciting developments during the day saw two more events join the schedule. Due to popular demand, Blaze DeVivre and her team agreed to reprise The Kate Bush Indulgence at 11pm Friday night. I am still getting rave reviews for this production, and since I missed it on the first run, I am excited to get to see it. Will you come watch it with me? It will be one immediately after Burnlesque on Friday night, so you know there will be dancing in your Friday night visions.

Additionally, Thea Dee has had the inspired notion to take us on an art tour of the various installations on the playa, and since we are still striving to put the camp in your encampment, we have decided this is a pasties and panties event. As always we will take you as you are, but if you had some cute pasties  or boxers you've been dying to show off, this is your event. You'll need to bring a bike, or rezz one from our bike station, and the weather, I can assure you, suggests sunscreen. The Pasties and Panties Art Tour takes off from Camp Roguery at 6pm on Friday evening.

Monday October 19th at Camp Roguery | Burn 2

Sunday seemed to go well, so we thought we'd do it again for Monday!

Monday Schedule 
at 3pm - Interactive Dance session with Cordelia Cerise- Beach Party  
(see below). Dress for the beach!
at 5pm - Anj Gustafsen (live music) 
a rare musical treat from a truly accomplished multi-instrumentalist and vocalist
at 6pm - Traditional Belly Dance
regarded by many as an art form, Belly Dance is a traditional dance style believed to be Middle Eastern in origin. Tonight's performances are intended to reflect the fluidity and percussion of a well-articulated set of hips
 at 8pm - TwinGhost (live music)
TG is another sublime live and original vocalist-guitarist whose indie balladry is satisfyingly complex
at 10pm - Kate Bush Indulgence  Blaze DeVivre's magnum opus premieres at Burn 2 tonight. The Kate Bush Indulgence features performances by members of Guerilla Burlesque (SL) and a fully-realised vision for The Ninth Wave. This is original and new work by a gifted performance artist, don't miss it.
at 11pm - Goths on the Playa with DJ Chewie Quixote 
Something for the paler burner, Goth diva Chewie Quixote hosts this unique to Burn 2 event until 1am


Yesterday's Mail:

Sunday's events started out with a cool crowd at Cordie's dance interactive; if you've never been, she sets up mover prims and huds with dances to a themed soundtrack. She also sets a scene and provides some props to make it more fun. Tonight's event was a fusion of steamy songs and gearwork, and the costumes were a delight.

Deb Heron and I hosted the Corsets and Cigars event, and this was a truly fabulous outing, especially when the core Burners dropped by for a bit of play. Deb's choreo was dead on point for the glamorous crowd, and people seemed to enjoy those sultry sexy-burlesquey tunes. I had such a great time, I hope we do it again next year!

At 8pm we hosted Guerilla Burlesque in a mini-show that was short and very intense. New work from Aubreya Joszpe and Cordelia Cerise, plus much loved acts from Chewie Quixote and Zahra Ethaniel

The final program for the night was the steampunk-themed belly dance show. Directed by Cyllene Dembo, and featuring luscious performances from Deb Heron, Zahra Ethaniel (with Gamma Inifinity and Shesa Quandry), Maar Vollous, Maeve Branner and Cyllene herself, the soundtrack was carefully curated by Rebecca Dembo/ The sets were rich and intriguing and as someone who has never really caught the belly dance virus, I was riveted.  I look forward to the rest of the weeks belly events with great interest.

Photos from today's events can be found on the Idle Rogue Facebook page.

Sunday October 18th at Burn 2 Camp Roguery

After a stunning opening night in which the sim reached capacity twice, it's time to settle into the rhythm of Camp Roguery with a guide to what you can expect from the events at camp today.

At 3pm, Cordelia Cerise presents the first of her "Dance Interactive" sessions. These are enormous fun, not least because Cordie runs them at her own venue, Whymsee, so she's a skilled hand at bringing together dances, props and fun. You arrive on site, pick up the goodies and sit on a prim, and let Cordie turn you into an accomplished dancer!

From 5pm, chry and Deb will be running a party event, Corsets and Cigars. Corsets, because we know how much you all love an excuse to go burly, and cigars because we want the boys to feel just as loved. Slip into your slinky burlesque best and join us in the glittering ballroom at Camp Roguery. Chry's playing burly songs, retro songs and sexy songs to keep you amused while you sashay around the room.

At 8pm Guerilla Burlesque return with another Variety Revue. Tonight directed by Chewie Quixote, this revue will feature beloved dance acts from one of the premier dance entertainment troupes in Second Life. Then stay on and enjoy the ambience as we prepare for the first of our Pit Shows, premiering at 10:00pm.

Directed by Cyllene Dembo, the Pit Shows are an exploration of the various sub-genres of bellydance. Our first adventure is steampunk themed, and as usual at any Idle Rogue event, you are encouraged to dress in theme and enjoy the fun in the most immersive way. The Pit Shows have been together with Cyllene's customary elegance and grace, and you can expect to be both soothed and seduced by the performances planned for this week.

If you missed the opening show - Carnival Of Mirrors, don't be distressed, we are doing it again on Saturday 24th October with some slight changes to the lineup. This show was directed by Zahra Ethaniel and features dance entertainment acts in the Carnival theme, including a jaw-dropping group routine that depicts the transient glamour that is carnival life.

You can find photos from Camp Roguery Opening Night on Aerlon's Flickr page or on Facebook at the GB@Burn2 photo album attached to the Guerilla Burlesque profile page

ETA: Monavie Voigt took some photos from Carnival of Mirrors and published them in Showtime Magazine.

New Season of Guerilla Burlesque starts March 6

We have a new schedule for the first season of Guerilla Burlesque for 2015, and it features some amazing dancers. Old faces and new adorn this schedule, which will commence on March 6th, running through to May 15th, and will include a run of performances by Le Cirque de Nuit across the first weekend in April.

We are delighted to welcome Gloriana Maertens back to the stage, after an extended break building the most beautiful stage sets on the grid. Empyrean Forge's Master Blacksmith Rahpture returns to the stage, as well as steampunk maven Kait Tomorrow.

We are debuting two new dancers this season - Anashara, whose memorable performance as Stella Mayfair marked her baptism-by-fire, and the very popular Franny, who promises to inject some badass rock into the roster.

Last season's stellar debutantes, Imrhien Fargis, Maeve Branner and Tray Porthos have graduated into accomplished soloists and join the impressive and much loved ongoing cast - Aubreya, Azabella, Blaze, Chewie, Deb, Gamma, Jess, Meegan, Oods, Shadow, Sho, Thea and Zahra are all signed on for another whirl, and Cyllene Dembo has finally committed to a brace of dates as a regular dancer.

We look forward to welcoming Chandra Meehan back as a guest performer, and promise intriguing things from DoraMaar, whose smoking hot work with Winds of The Sahara brought her to our attention. And finally, the legendary Madison Pinelli has agreed to stay up late with us just one time, and we promise you will adore this true superstar at her work.

We also welcome the intriguing Lindy Hopper to the Guerilla Burlesque corps and look forward to watching her reignite her formidable talents. Guerilla Burlesque Corps provide a very necessary substance to our work, and we love them dearly.

Now the only thing missing is you, our dedicated audience, who patiently arrive early and stay late to share the fun with us, and who always make us feel like we made something good happen. We can't wait to see you in March, we've missed you!

Other cool things:
The Metaharpers Interactive Gallery on Idle Rogue allows you to rez stage sets from our well-known dance routines and participate in them as the dancer. Call into the Acuo Theatre and look for the signboard at stage right. Click on the graphic for the act that interests you and watch as the stage set rezzes. Then sit on the prim, allow a few seconds to cache your animations, and the magic begins.  Jo Balogh has a couple of photos here and there are a few from our launch party here, but the most fun is trying it, and make sure to send us a copy if you get some good photos!

Don't forget, voting is open for the AviChoice awards, and Guerilla Burlesque is nominated. Only one vote per ISP, but if you haven't yet cast yours, drop by and have your say, this is a rare opportunity for dancers, entertainers and artists to gauge their popularity.

And auditions for this year's season of Le Cirque de Nuit are shaping up to be very exciting - if you haven't put your name down to audition yet, what are you waiting for? Details are here, on this very blog! Run away and join the Circus!

Dates announced for Le Cirque de Nuit at Idle Rogue!

After months of careful preparation, Idle Rogue's Le Cirque de Nuit debuts on April 6, with a special performance for the Guerilla Burlesque Exclusive group at 4pm, followed by a General Admission Performance at 7pm.
The show is tour-de-force virtual entertainment. Loosely referencing Erin Morgenstern's novel "The Night Circus", builder Gloriana Maertens has created a magical circus environment in the sky above Idle Rogue. From the moment you arrive, you feel the shimmering in the air, and the enchantment begins.
As you take your seat, we will assume control of your camera and embark together on a sparkling journey, of shadows and light, sounds and visions, astonishment and delight.
A collaborative experience, Le Cirque de Nuit has been crafted by some of the best performers and builders in SL at the height of their careers. It's a black and white steampunk extravaganza that features clever concepts woven together by an extremely professional team. Produced by Chryblnd Scribe, with a stage scripted and managed by Arrehn Oberlander, you will witness thrilling performances by dancers who have honed their skills in the great troupes of our time.

Guerilla Burlesque performs this kind of act every friday night on Idle Rogue at midnight.

Musical guests throughout the month will include JordanReyne Deezul, Rara Destiny, POL Arida, Saintess Larnia and Lisa Brune, performing on The Falls stage on Fridays throughout the month

Featured Artist: Chewie Quixote                

Chewie Quixote has been involved in the Virtual music and dance scene for over two years.

Chewie is one of the star performers of Guerilla Burlesque and started taking photographs ( screen captures ) as a history of the troupe's activities as well as a visual record of the acts that have been performed. Chewie was inspired to improve the quality of her work by the works of Lingual Markus, Senjata Witt and Graham Collinson. Her work has received quiet praise from mentors and fans alike.

In addition to her work as an interpretive dancer and a photographer, Chewie is also gaining a solid reputation as a machinimatographer.

Chewie's works can be found at DeviantArt, KoinUp and YouTube

Featured Artist: Kavisha Quan

"My humble contribution to the art world on second life began as soon as I found out I could take snapshots. 
I wanted to make pictures that were more than the usual family snaps, or the often-seen romantic shots.
The beauty of buildings, the beings and the environment.
In this series of pictures I have taken pictures from outside of Second Life.  These are from the visually stunning but sombre game of Esther, with a favorite thrown in for all you Guild Wars fans.
You see in my work combinations of these things, visual beauty, architecture and the solitude of gaming in a social world.
The angle is the thing... my eye loves what it sees."

Featured Artist: Autumn Teardrop

"I've been taking photographs in SL for a while now, because I love catching those beautiful moments and people that I see. I feel my strengths are in spur-of-the-moment shots, especially at live events or social gatherings. I've never done anything even remotely visual in RL, so it's a nice escape, I get to do something different. :)

I do not currently take wedding shots or arranged live events, sorry, my RL makes it a bit difficult to commit to specific times, as is being in a weird time zone (New Zealand). But if I'm present at something, I'll generally be busy taking random shotsof people and things (and handing them out if they're any good).

I've got a little gallery where you can see some of my work. Feel free to drop in and have a look some time."

 Scheduled Events:

We had scheduled an opening event featuring musical performances by Rara Destiny and Jordan Reyne, but Linden Lab had other ideas for that night. Since we have scheduled concerts  for the Art Walk Stage throughout November, we figured we'd just march on. Come along to any of the friday morning concerts and enjoy some of the best live performances in Second Life while you soak up the Art Walk Atmosphere.

More great live music this weekend

At 1am, delightful Lisa Brune returns to Idle Rogue. The dizzying combination of her rich voice, alternative classics and a stunning avatar proved incredibly popular at her first outing on the IR stage, and we look forward to more from this fabulously cool performer

At 2am Idle Rogue favourite, Jordan Reyne, joins us for a performance that melds folk noir, powerful alto vocals and industrial found sound with an accoustic and loop musicality that is unique and original. Jordan Reyne is a premier performer whose recorded works are award-nominated and whose real life resume includes the legendary Glastonbury Festival.

At 3am Kristopher Walpole returns to Idle Rogue after an absence of some months. Kris's original music is the stuff of classic indie ballads - wistful themes, clever guitar and a voice that reminds you of a Saturday morning comedown. It's glorious alt yearning and the perfect finish to an amazing evening at Idle Rogue

Presenting Guerilla Burlesque ...

We are delighted to present the latest Guerilla Burlesque video from the astonishing mind of Ormand Lionheart (FuzonAcid).

Each friday at midnight on Idle Rogue, Guerilla Burlesque present one dazzling hour of fast-paced original entertainment, the best of it's kind on the grid.

Perky Baxton, Serge and Chewie Quixote, Giving Us What We Want

Guerilla Burlesque's Perky Baxton might be new to the burly game, but she brings an almost visionary talent. A natural vixen, Perky's choreography is red hot and on point every time. Her acts to date have been stylish and clever, with the natural flair that turns a show into entertainment.

We are also lucky to have the talents of budding machinimatographer (and dancer) Chewie Quixote in our Guerilla arsenal, with the happy result that you get to see one of the finest presentations of Guerilla Burlesque's first year.

Set to Bitter:Sweet's I Get What I Want, Perky's act features the boys of Idle Rogue in all their sexy glory. Choreographed by another prodigy, Serge82 Resident, dancers Mathew Leider, Shippy Creations, Esoteric Jigsaw, Mercutio Evanier and Diego DelMaro form a suave chorus line and induce more than a few swoons themselves, while Perky struts and flutters like a diva born.

We look forward to presenting more from both Perky and Serge in the near future.


Guerilla Burlesque performs a live dance revue each friday at midnight on Idle Rogue

Guerilla Burlesque 2012

Guerilla Burlesque ... your party just got dirty

Inspired by a competition for the cover of BOSL magazine, the divas of Guerilla Burlesque were a-flurry last week for a photo shoot with astonishing photographer Graham Collinson. Graham works entirely within SL - no post-processing, no photoshop at all, and you can see the results, and the reason for our excitement, in his video.

Graham took a number of really beautiful photographs, and this one was chosen as the new promo shot (a small amount of post-processing by chry with Graham's approval). A framed version has been sent out to the Idle Rogue group and subscription list, and you can still get the 2011 promo "They're Coming ..." on the notecard contained in the new version.

or, indeed, you could download it right here :-)

Diva Kiriam McIntyre very generously invited us to use her stunning home for the photo shoot, and this first release, "Party Dirty" was shot in Kiri and Max's atrium. Kiri also built the dressing room set you will see in other photos, which will be released over coming weeks.

Guerilla Burlesque have exciting plans to expand their interactions with their fanbase over the coming months, and you are encouraged to join the Idle Rogue inworld group or the subscription list to keep up-to-date with the dynamic divas. You can also join us on Facebook as we build momentum into 2012.

Guerilla Burlesque perform a weekly dance revue in their purpose-built theatre at Idle Rogue. Doors open at 11:45pm for a midnight start, every Friday.

What would the Idle Rogues do?

Chewie Quixote turned her camera on the Rogues recent theme night "What Would Sexy Wear?" (a hat tip to Guerilla Burlesque diva, SexyS Quintessa, whose avatars truly run from the sublime to the ridiculous and back again). This is what happens when the Idle Rogues get together for fun.
