Invited post by Inarra Saarinen
-
Ballet Pixelle® has opportunities for dancers and crew to join this dedicated company of professional artists. This is a unique opportunity to blend the best of artistic and technical worlds, creating performances that stretch dance and storytelling possibilities within the ballet tradition.
-
Ballet Pixelle® performs original ballets choreographed by Inarra Saarinen to music created for each ballet by professional First Life composers. Performances are one or two times a week at Ballet Pixelle’s theatre. In addition to the performance schedule, each ballet requires several weeks of rehearsal. For example, a typical rehearsal period during creation of a new ballet is 3 to 4 months with two or more rehearsals a week each lasting approximately two hours.
-
-
Our crew work collaboratively to design, build, and script sets, props, and costumes. Ushers greet the audience, answer questions, point out the "donation jar" and help some audience members with basic skills such as getting sound, using the avatar camera on the stage, and environmental settings.
-
Ushers also serve as security/advisors/consultants to reduce disruptions during performances. Our Master of Ceremonies also greets the audience, makes comments concerning the progress of the performance, ad libs, introduces acts, dancers, and crew as well as operate sets, curtains, lights, and props.
-
We all have First Lives, but to be fair to the Company and the collaborative nature of our work, Ballet Pixelle® must be considered a priority. Professionalism and serious commitment are required; a sense of humor is appreciated :-)

Poseballs, scripted animations, or synchronization devices are not used in Ballet Pixelle® performances. Dancers move independently, enacting steps and gestures coordinated with the rest of the cast and to the music.-
