Join us in creating the props, sets and costumes for our upcoming production, Songs and Dances of Imaginary Lands, a site-specific contemporary opera, taking place in Culver City in July 2010.
Lend us a hand and participate in this extensive community arts project, bringing together local artists and volunteers. In a series of free public workshops, donated recyclable materials will be transformed into sets and costumes through community participation. We are looking forward to making art with you! Beginners and pros are all welcome! Questions, please call: (323) 655-2410 during business hours, Mon-Fri.
Production Info
Songs and Dances of Imaginary Lands is a non-traditional music-theater piece with contemporary music of many styles. It takes the audience on a journey with working class Tom and aristocratic Sue, who have lost their identities. The couple reclaims their story by means of a device that allows them to inhabit the "lands" that hold the pivotal experiences of their lives embodied in songs, dances, pledges of allegiance, and rituals indigenous to those turning points.
Performances will run from Thursday - Sunday, July 8-18, 2010, at 8:00 pm nightly, with Sunday matinees at 2:00 pm. Tickets on Sale!
