Jo Ellsmere's bot performance "Biomechanical" returns to Second Life at Split Screen

For me, the highlight of the Russian Avant-Garde show in April 2014 was Jo Ellsmere's mesmerizing bot performance Biomechanical, inspired by the actor training methods developed by Russian theater director Vsevolod Meyerhold (1874-1940).  It is now returning to Second Life at Split Screen for a limited engagement of roughly six weeks, through February.  Landing point hereBiomechanical is located toward the southwest.
