This performance cultivates the creation of queer community through a virtual immersive theater experience. Over the course of 2 weeks, players have the opportunity to explore a different realm every 3 days. Sign up to play with a friend/loved one to explore one or more realms (3 days per realm, open at any time) and join us at the end for a final dance party/grand reveal. You and your companion(s) will traverse across Rolyrbee Island as you solve creative puzzles, engage in embodied somatic exploration, and uncover the secrets hidden across each realm.

By signing up for this adventure you are are opening up portals to a queerer world. You are encouraged to invite a friend or four to solve clues, move in a queer gaggle across the virtual world, and support your mental & physical wellbeing.
The platforms the divine Rolyr Guardians have chosen for your quest is Gather.Town (a meeting space that feels like an 8-bit video game straight out of 1992).
The world of Rolyrbee is a magical evolution in progress. As virtual visitors to this island, we ask for your patience with any technological malfunctions or Rolyr Guardian guidance fumbles. The translation between embodied magic and electronic wifi signals is often contradictory. We welcome and encourage communication and feedback on your experience throughout your visit and will provide a direct channel for questions and concerns. This project of translation between Rolyrbee and earth is a graduate thesis dance and technology endeavor supported by a team of people invested in providing quality virtual multidimensional world building for the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
