It was over 2 years ago that I was first introduced to Namaste Productions. The first event I attended was Rise of the Machines 2, and I had never seen anything like it in all my time online. It was in every way possible, an Xperience!
It was my first time trying to film a virtual concert inside of IMVU. I got up the courage to show the results
to Mr. Namaste and asked him if I could publish it. He liked it and the rest is, as they say, history.
I asked Mr. Namaste if his talent for producing events inside of IMVU came from real-life work experience and he told me, “My talent for putting together fantastic performances doesn’t come from any RL work, but rather a RL passion for for artistic beauty and creative expression. Coming up as a young adult I was amazed at the magic and mesmerizing beauty and showmanship of artists and productions like: Earth Wind and Fire, Parliament Funkadelic, Cirque du Soleil, the Twelve Girls Band, David Copperfield, etc. I have taken that passion and applied it to our own way of interpretation and reintroduced it on IMVU with a Namaste flair.”
The awe, appreciation, and admiration that I experienced during those first Namaste events I attended had me wondering how is it that they come together and put on such amazing shows?
Mr. Namaste shared that, “Planning a new performance can happen in seconds, minutes, or it can happen in weeks or months. Our performances are a process of inspiration and collaboration. When I first started Namaste Productions, we would work on performances for sometimes over a year before we shared them. It takes great preparation, planning, as well as dedication and commitment to produce the things we produce. We at Namaste have, and are still in the process of evolving. We at Namaste while creating something new, sometimes share stories, and brainstorm ideas. I am the creative mind behind Namaste Productions, but without the group’s input it would mean nothing. My shows start with music, then a theme, then I create a concept. This we build on as we go. It’s all pure imagination, it’s all unique, and it’s all magic! The Namaste crew are the best, most creative and artistic people I have ever met, and I love them all with all my heart and soul.“
These next words that Mr. Namaste shared with me are part of the reason I hold him in such high regard. They sum up the type of person that he is and why he commands such loyalty and longevity from his family and friends. What I would say to any naysayers is that “the proof is in the pudding.”
“My inspiration comes from my deep strong conviction in love. I have always wanted to touch people and help wake them up to new possibilities. I share my visions with the group which comes from dreams…poetry…art…visions…nature and life itself. I believe in everything, and I always try to find the beauty therein.
My love for music is a catalyst for some of our performances, and shows in general. I dream in other worlds…other lifetimes, other forms of existence. I think all of life is a beautiful song, a melody, a harmony, a chorus…and a crescendo. My group and I share beautiful ideas, and thoughts and we polish them until they become a well-polished gem.
These people in Namaste are my real-life friends and family, many of which I have met and others I plan to meet. We share a love that is beyond words and beyond description. And although we think collectively…my group also thinks independently and brings their own flavor to the table. If we can touch at least one person with our beauty…smile.”
Mr. Namaste is the winner of the 2024 PZONE BET Awards for Pioneer of the Year and Motivational Speaker!
