Kettemoor Entertainers Unite!
With the waves of ennui and troubled times, the lockdown and crackdowns, the raids and the trades, its been a quiet time for the Entertainment Industry. This is a great time to organize, a great time to train, a great time to show the people of Kettemoor what we can do to put a smile back on their face!
I have asked for the help of numerous entertainers and we are offering management service to help organize and unionize the Entertainers on Kettemoor. If you are an Entertainer, read below and join in, we'd love to have you active with us!
If you are someone who supports entertainment and wants to see it active: image designers, creature handlers, tailors, cooks, bartenders, cantina owners, armor and weapons smiths, droid engineers, medics and doctors, roleplayers then please consider offering your services for the Entertainment and Hospitality troupes to use and coordinate for shows, jam sessions, training and stories.
If you are someone that NEEDS entertainers for a special dinner, a conference, a hunting safari, a party, an opening, a dedication, a wedding, a storyline, something BIG then you'll want to remember this channel, the names of people, and contacts for jobs. We'd love to work for you!

III. SHOW up for classes to have a fun time or see what can be done in the profession! We'll be hosting an ongoing series of dance and music classes in informal jams and roleplay cantinas as we go. This is to teach entertainers a common vocabulary and give them a set of skills they can wow everyone with. There will be more special advanced classes offered later.
IV. MEET your fellow Entertainers and explore the dynamics of large bands and larger dance troupes. Its more fun when you have other entertainers who are as dedicated as you are! Announcements for gatherings will be done through an ingame email distribution list and the Channel as well as occasional announcements on the main Kettemoor board and various smaller boards.
V. CONTRIBUTE with your ideas. We want and need your creativity whether you are an entertainer or not and value your input. Ideas for costumes, skits, songs, storylines, shows are all wanted and appreciated.

Beginning class is for all experienced entertainers. Cornerstone skills are emphasized, tricks and workarounds are shown and theory is introduced. Even Masters will get something from this class.
Intermediate class concentrates on operating group entertainment. Working alias files explained, more complex arrangements build from beginners foundations. This is a class with skills requiring a lot of repetition and time but also contains elements that are easily adapted for spontaneous grouping.
Advanced levels will address coordination of music and dance into advice on creating visually and audially interesting shows. Continued classes for discussion of presentation, socializations in audience interaction, unique venues, and managing a troupe professionally.
