This week on Twitch Weekly, the selected acts for the highly anticipated TwitchCon 2016 Talent Show were revealed!
Each submission for the talent show was reviewed by a panel of Twitch staff with background in performing art. Every audition received was superb, and we wish that we could allow everyone to perform! The selection committee had to make tough choices not only on quality, but also on variety, tone, production, and various other factors that led to a final decision. The final list of acts represent many disciplines of performing art, and we can’t wait to see them take the stage. They are:
- PerihelionLivestreams — “Home” on Ukulele
- SceneOfActionMusic — “Taste For Blood” Live Music Video
- Brynlie — Lyrical Dance to “Cavity” by Hundred Waters (Courtesy of music.twitch.tv)
- Ahadify — Harmonica Beatbox
- Crowdingout — “The Light”
- 8bitballroom — “Shim Sham” Lindy Hop Dance
- JeffLeach — Stand Up Comedy
- Frogthree — Electric Cello
- Aditidancedesign — Belly Dance to Sahra Saidi by Gamal Goma and Ah Ya Zein by Roger Abboud (Courtesy of Hollywood Music Center)
- kcjn and itsrishabh — Live-produced Electronic Music and Vocals
- SloppyTek and Lexalotacus (aka LaZe) — “Time” by UTILITARIAN
- Jacksonparodi — Banjo-Kazooie Accordion Medley
The TwitchCon 2016 Talent Show will take place at Kappa Theatre on Friday at 6:30 PST!
Thank you so very much, from the bottom of our hearts, for auditioning to be part of our first-ever TwitchCon Talent Show. As always, with a new initiative, there is a little trepidation and so much hope that the community will love an idea as much as we do.
We are so grateful that you were inspired to participate and affirm what we believed: that performing artists truly shine on Twitch!
