I have the pleasure of working with Mozawa again as they revamp Covers: A Process for the 2016-2017 season. This will be a two-day event starting Friday evening, October 21 and continuing through Saturday, October 22.
Stay tuned for more info!
Join The Voice Lab faculty and students in a concert celebrating the culmination of our Sing, Move, Play! workshop.
You’re invited to a concert featuring singers from The Floating Opera Company as we share a concert of choral and solo pieces celebrating the elements of alchemy – earth, air, water, and fire.
Wow. This process was incredibly tiring, and incredibly rewarding. Museum goers stopped by, watched, asked questions, and engaged with our creative process.

Has it all been done before?
I have the opportunity to collaborate with other artists on April 3 in the next installation of Mozawa’s Covers. This creative process throws together three artists of varying genre for seven hours to create an original, live performances (cover) based on a song. April’s presentation of Covers will be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 7:30pm! Check back soon for more information. See Mozawa’s website here.
In Mozawa’s own words:
Covers seeks to examine the question, “Has it all been done before?” Can we collaborate to create a new idea from an already existing one?
Each month, three artists from different mediums will create their own live cover of a selected song. The song will serve as a catalyst to bridge the artistic barriers between the chosen artists.
In one day, these three strangers will come together to craft a unique live music video by combining their passions into one. And you never know, their cover might change how you hear the original.
Friends, performing as an alien and a judgemental tree was an absolute pleasure with Petite Opera Productions. As the run went on, I got more and more creative with my make up.
Check out the progression!

:: If you love Mozart, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, comedy, great singing and stage performances, join us in Park Ridge as we peer into North Woods USA (somewhere near the Canadian border), and watch the comedy, drama, vengeance and magic unfold as aliens come to recruit humanoids to their cause! The show is packed with sci-fi/fantasy and culture references that will keep you in stitches. Watch for more info, and hold the dates now! This group of aliens and Earthlings will only appear 8 times before the crew of the Starship Vekran takes off on its 5-year mission!::
