As far as I am concerned and for what it is worth...
I work for MBC News in SL . We record the programme beforehand, all
participants are in different parts of the world and then the
programme is put out on various sites incuding SL and Blip TV as a
broadcast as a programme. It can be seen any number of times by people
who wish to do so and who have access to it.
For The Vagina Monologues, I will be doing an instant performance
through my Avatar working her as a puppet and voicing her. She and I
will be one. She is my 'servant' my 'representative' in SL. I will not
be recorded, my voice will not be recorded, there will only be one
other performance, later that day. both those performances will be
different and instant and if I faint during one of them that will be
happening live to me... because I am the 'soul' of the avatar. My
avatar will continue to stand there mute, she will be able to do
nothing of her own accord. only mine with the agreement of the
directors. This is the nature of a play. If I wish to change
something whilst I am on stage, I can it is within noone else's
control and it will pass in the fraction of time that I choose to do
it.
The moving and most wonderful thing of participating in SL The Vagina
Monologues is that my avatar sat in the theatre - the theatre , which
by its very history and nature means LIVE, that is its glory, it is
what makes theatre unique, that gives it drama just the nature of
chance, of a chance happening upon a stage, the very thing that makes
performance worthwhile for actors, the risk, the contact with
audience, with each other - my avatar, that is myself legally as my
representative I believe, I therefore sat in the theatre with other
women doing a readthrough of The Vagina Monologues. The other women
were from all over the world, just all over, that in itself gives a
moving and exhilerating further subtext to The Vagina Monologues.
We had got together because we felt strongly about the piece and about
VDay and about the anti-violence message against women FROM ALL OVER
THE WORLD. We could not be a more appropriate gathering. If HBO really
want the broadcast rights that they have bought, perhaps they could
sponsor us.... broadcast us even... then they could be certain that
no one else does and they could also perhaps get a little frisson in
their inside pockets in the region of their hearts that meant they
were adding something to VDay instead of taking something away.
Strongly felt,
Dousa

Dousa...thank you...thank all of you who are apart of this. Believe me when I say we are in negotiations now with the right people. We don't wish to raise hopes till this is complete. We are dealing with this.
With much love for all the grace and dignity the Actors, Volunteers, Sponsors have shown from the start. I thank you,
Lauren

Oh I think a lot of us put in a lot of time. I am sorry if I forgot anyone. I just wanted to make sure we acknowledged the efforts of those who weren't seen onstage but if I missed anyone I am super sorry.
