Bringing
vision to life
Ivy
Falls is a community, home to a collaboration of
artists, builders, designers and performers.
It is an island - full of surprises, with
a dark past and hidden secrets - a space to live and work,
to meet with friends, to share talent, thoughts and ideas.
About
Ivy Falls
Ivy
Falls was established as a talent agency representing live
artists in February 2007 by Rekka Berchot and Liliyah Lancaster.
In March 2008 the agency found a new home in a forgotten valley
of the same name, and under Rekka's guidance, became the Ivy
Falls we know today - a stunning creative space where folk
from all walks of life come to share their talent, and express
themselves.
The picturesque island houses a shopping mall, cafe, theatre,
ampitheatre and garden, lining a tranquil river. Ivy Falls
has hosted live musicians Moxy Barracuda, Nance Brody, Space
Junky, Black Label Society, Dexter Ihnen, Thumper Boucher,
Mimi Carpenter and more! A wedding reception made a bang here,
and the Changhigh Trinity Fireshow features regularly.
A unique theatre has hosted comedian Lauren Weyland, and the
successful In the Pink production which raised more
than L$300,000 for V-Day 2008.
Lauren Weyland and the Changhigh Trinity Fireshow have both
had shows broadcast live outisde of Second Life® virtual
world from Ivy Falls, and media company Valley Spirit Productions
has now based themselves at the island.
In
August 2008, Ivy Falls partnered with the Act Up Theatre Company
to stage the unique live theatre performance of a Midsummer
Night's Dream and remains committed to the production
and promotion of live events and arts in the Second Life®
virtual world.
Welcome
When
asked to explain the function of Ivy Falls - it's hard to
know where to start...
Like
many people, I arrived in the
Second Life® virtual world
and had no idea what to expect but was always amazed at the
unique and exciting creations that people bring into this
virtual reality!
And
so that brings me to this island. I am hoping that by giving
the means, the props, and the base to create and perform,
that the spark in people will ignite and inspire them to push
beyond their limitations.
We
have constructed a fully functioning theatre with box seating,
green room, dressing rooms, and anything else found in a real
life theatre - even its own ghosts! With the implentation
of voice we have been able to fully enjoy the experience of
both viewing and performing live theatre, with drama, and
comedy.
Our
cafe and courtyard, are open and fun spaces to meet people
and have the potential for impromptu speakers, poetry readings,
book clubs, and music, as is our secluded garden at the northern
end of the river.
We
have a large amphitheatre that needs to be seen to be believed.
Set at one end of the Ivy River, this stunning venue has hosted
an array of incredible live concerts - artisitc performaces
and fantastic DJs.
All
throughout the island we are hoping artists will want to come
and share their creations, their visions, and their talent.
Come and visit us - we're sure Ivy Falls will become something
special to you!
Please enjoy exploring our website, and visit us in Second
Life!

Berchot,
Ivy Falls Owner
