The Under Presents

🧹 Thank you TUP! It’s been an honor to breathe loop-life into the hardworking Russell, Sweeper of The Under for this reprise these past few months. I love everyone involved: @tenderclaws & all of the actors, and most of all the fantastic players & inhabitants of this metaverse, who have truly made this place their own. It’s your world now, your story continues.. 💫🧅 #theunderpresents #liveactors #tenderclaws #virtualreality #metaverse #immersivetheatre #liveNPC #vractor #RusselltheSweeper 🧹🌊🫶 (at Somewhere Under the Sky Full of Stars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCPlugOKKz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎮🎭 Performing live in The Under Presents 🕰 While many speak of this metaverse, we’re fortunate to live within and see first hand what dreams may come, meta verse by verse 📜, as we daily perform, entertain, and connect with others live in this virtual space. All thanks to @tenderclaws 🙏 When I said this gig was history in the making back in 2020, I had no idea to what extent; Communities sprang that are creative & kind Small yet mighty, like dandelion spores Off to populate future fields, drifting on winds of ones and zeros.. Armed with imagination and Unity Figuring it out as we go along. There’s something punk rock about that.. Like the Velvet Underground, around just a few years for those lucky enough to catch them live. Or the DIY Los Angeles immersive scene (just as fleeting, and memorable to those who were there), whom many stars of which make up the live actor cast of TUP. I’m proud to be among them making moments and memories in this world.. Guiding the Ouija board, if that’s a thing.. I think we’re all just doing it 🙌 It is our Present, in The Under 💫🧅 #TheUnderPresents #liveNPC #meta #verse #byverse #TenderClaws #virtualreality #oculus #metaquest #metaverse #metaforall? #immersive #interactive #immersivetheatre #immersiveperson #vractor #virtualreality #sweeper 🧹 (at Metaverse - Earth & Beyond) https://www.instagram.com/p/CclZxwLPEpz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

❤️💫🌀 And just like that, these actors, these spirits, were melted into air...into thin air ✨ The level of meta, of innovation, of community and heart and storytelling encompassed in this experience is beyond anything I can express. Each memory and moment now becomes a grain of sand in The Under, where the crobs dig deep and the humble Sweeper whom I had the honor to play this whole past year resides to this day to serve the sprites who remain and still play. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to Samantha, Danny, Tanya, Eli, Paisley, J, Cynthia, and everyone at @tenderclaws for this undeniably life changing experience. Thank you to all of the cast of actors with whom we’ve all now obtained a phd in live VR performance 🎓it will always be an honor to share any stage with you anytime, anywhere. And lastly but not least to the players with whom we danced the whole livelong year, you are the historians now and forever of the stories of The Under. These are such things as dreams are made on, and our little life rounded with a sleep ❤️✨🧹🌀🦀 #TheUnderPresents #tenderclaws #TheUnderPresentsTempest #immersivetheatre #liveevents #virtualreality #immersive #vrtheatre #immersiveinteractive #immersiveactor #vractor #ractor #shakespeare #story #wearesuchstuffasdreamsaremadeon (at The Under) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNBWPH5Jl2E/?igshid=i99wuxfdvozl

💫 There was this house And in this house there were these people Who had created this amazing world And in this house there were these actors That brought characters and stories to life For month and months and months and months And long after this house was gone The tide came in and the tide went out And in this house there were these masks And in these masks were seen all of these sprites That would continue the stories and make the art And be the missing piece that made this dream come true Experience of the year, a narrative experience I am thankful for all of it 😊 #tenderclaws #oculus #theunderpresents #spritesgiving #virtualreality #realreality #thankful (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIB5puQJTSY/?igshid=1r4ky3wv6fjw0
