On Saturday afternoon, Pearly Dynasty invited us to perform for her Qingming Festival, part of the grand opening for World of Jingju. Her sim is amazing, and if you have the time you should definitely check it out. We performed an OOC show based on Chinese Ballet and the traditional folk tale "The Spring of Butterflies." We utilized music from real (and modern) Chinese ballet. It was a lot of fun and you can see the pictures below.

| Kara-san and Medusa-chan dancing; they were the ill-fated lovers, the focus of "The Spring of Butterflies." |

| This is me, dancing on a small pond of water. |

| That pond was later raised to reveal a full fountain. You can see the entire stage and the seating area here. |
On Sunday afternoon, Sengoku invited us to perform in their stunning teahouse. Sengoku is mostly focused on combat and has daily raids with other groups; every now and then they have a cultural element, and Shinmachi was pleased to be part of it. Jinchi-san and Gnosis-san performed Daffodils - I neglected to get any pictures, but I do want to end this post with the haiku that began that beautiful show:
Silent trumpeter
Your yellow shout promises
New life and summer
