Dear Colleagues and friends,

I would like you to help me break something.

On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of next week, December 28, 29, 30, from 10-11am EST - I would like to invite all of you to a Digital Open House and help me test the Hope Bear Garden Digital Host Destination. The Hope DHD is a prototype 3D digital gaming environment that I have been developing with my technical team over the last seven years. It’s a kind of “metaverse” - only we call it the Bardaverse.

The objective is to see how many folks we can have log on and enter what will eventually be an online research and performance space. We need folks from different countries all around the world to log on, so that we can discover the limitations of what we are creating. In other words, we will try and break it.

If you email me at: [email protected]

I will send you back a Digital Portal link that will allow you to enter the Hope Bear Garden.

It has been great to test this crazy thing. It is fun to touch base with folks. So many great memories! I look forward hearing voices I have not heard in years. I would love to touch base. I miss all my friends.

If you can help me break this build, I would be grateful. See you next week.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am thankful and honored that the Prince William County website has published a wonderful article on the Historical Movement Archive. It really captures the research project that we have been working on at the Virginia Serious Game Institute as a result of my Visiting Scholar in Residence. I am so very proud of the many wonderful folks who have worked at our HMA office in Manassas. Thank you to Ben, Ady, Ye Sun, Austin, and the VSGI for carrying the research endeavor through Covid. I am deeply grateful to Scott, James, Stephanie, Rizza, and Dean Rick Davis for making all of this possible. Here is our new website that tells the story of this research. historicalmovementarchive.org

HMA is an international group of historical movement scholars, teachers, and performers working together in multiple live performance technologies.
