Free Community Art Workshops (make sets & costumes for contemporary opera) May 1, 2010

Join us in creating the props, sets and costumes for Overtone Industries' upcoming production, Songs and Dances of Imaginary Lands, a site-specific contemporary opera, taking place in Culver City in July 2010. In a series of free public workshops, donated recyclable materials will be transformed into sets and costumes through community participation. Looking for crafters, artists, knitters++ All levels from professionals to beginners are welcome.

Our goal is to make all props, sets and costumes from recycled materials.

Songs and Dances of Imaginary Lands 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.
