Thread: Disheartened Performer
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=dancer&message.id=22126
You have dancers and you have patrons - and we both hate afk macroing! Where can we go to interact with live players? Someone on Tempest has posted suggesting Tyrena as a designated cantina for live performers. I'll go to Tyrena everytime I need to be healed, even if it is not gauranteed that a dancer/musician/entertainer will be there, just for the chance to see a live dancer and have some relaxing conversation!
I know of one place that has live performers and audience. On the Bria server, go to Veritas, Naboo. The Bishops' Sanctuary is dedicated to live performers.
I can't guarantee that someone will be there, but the chances are darn good on any weeknight and most of the time on weekends.
If you need directions or help, just send me a /tell in game.
Roho,
Beloved of Kirah
Co-owner of Bishops' Sanctuary

Very true, but unfortunately there are still plenty of mis-guided dancers and musicians who AFK grind their xp and say things like "Once I reach Master then I'll play at the keyboard" or "I'll be able to enjoy the profession once I'm a master, until then it's too boring."
Ultimately those people are really not cut out to be entertainers, because once the newness of your master level dances/instruments/songs wears off (and it happens quickly), performing is still performing. I had just as much fun at Novice Dancer as I do at Master, sometimes more. I suspect the people who think all the fun happens at Master will quickly learn otherwise and drop the profession.
Then of course there are the alt characters who are levelled to be buffbots, but we shall not speak of it here. 
Thanks for the suggestions, i will check them out.
I was actually based in Theed on Shadowfire and could not for the life of me get heals, groups, patrons. Was on there for two days before I finally gave up. Maybe it is just a slow week.
I am of course biased, but I highly recommend Eclipse when it comes to ATK entertaining. Currently there are three big bands including my own (Talus Moon), Astral Fantasia, and The Force - not to mention a host of others including the entertainer only guild Twin Suns Entertainment.
So if you are looking for a change, check out Entertainment on Eclipse
Hiya Atrana,
I see my partners in crime . . . err fellow denizens of Bishop's Sanctuary in Veritas on Naboo, Roho and Kirah have already sent you an invitation! Let me also add my owninvitation. ( /invite Atrana). . . /giggle. All seriousness aside. . . we do have a great time. Like sister Kirah said, Ents make their own fun. Kirah isTHE best, Roho is an A #1 square shooter (sorry he's already taken), Dranon and Shailas (the new kids on the block) are also great performers and top notch guys. Then theres me . . . oh well, no group is perfect. 
Anyway if you ever do stop in on Bria, please look us up. You sound like you have thesoul of an an entertainer, as such I'm sure you will do well no matter where you finally decide to stay. Follow your heart and you'll never go wrong. Good luck!

It's true. Tyrena was one of my favorite places to go and dance. I purely discovered it on accident. It was my first time on Corellia, I'd just dropped off a couple nice shiny new mining installations by Kor Vella. Since there was no starport there I had to shuttle somewhere to return to Naboo. I just randomly bought a ticket to Tyrena, and decided to drop by the cantina there. That is where I spent the next few months.
I'm told my cantina is quite active on Wednsday late afternoon/early evening. I'm not there to see for myself though. (The Island Dive, Temenos Island, Naboo.) I've not been playing much on Kettemoor lately to know what is active cantina-wise. On Bria I occasionally see life in Tyrena. Usually an entertainer there, but some times it's someone AFK. I'd say 50/50 during evenings and weekends.
Hi Reolae Oacra here from tempest server. My fiancee is the one that suggested the idea of revitalizing tyrena's entertainer scene. Last night he finally picked up musician to play and keep me company while i dance in the cantina. I have spent the past few days touring especially in the dantooine mining outpost where many adventurers and fortune seekers go. I have been spreading word that Tyrena is once again populated and have been asking other LIVE entertainers to join my fiancee and me in Tyrena. I understand that you might not initially make the same money that you would make in coronet or on tempest the mining outpost. But i have also been asking doctors to consider operating out of tyrena also. With enough entertainers and a slowly built list of live performers and patrons the cantina is starting to resemble a sleepy back town bar. There are 4 venues to perform in in tyrena i hope that soon we will be asking different groups to go to different venues to perform and heal people so we dont havea coronet situation with tyrena.
I didnt want to necessarily do this but i am going to have a droid made soon to stat the fact that someone is in the cantina in Tyrena and set it to travel around the starport so that people know they can come to the cantina to be healed.
Warning though, Stormtroopers do regularly come through and harass the entertainers. They best thing i have learned to do is smile at them and watch as they harass someone else. For those faction conscience people tyrena is rebel sympathetic but has an imperial garisson to try and keep the populace in line.
If you want to know more about this plan please feel free to Pm me here in the forums or send a mail to me in game. I would love to perform along side other live entertainers
