This year, Opera-Matic celebrates the animals of the lullabied night -  the wise owls, the calling wolves, the sheep we count, and all the pretty little horses that pull us to sleep. In many parts of the world, people look to the moon, and see animals reflected there. On these May evenings, Opera-Matic invites us all to look to our Lagoon Moon and see what we can see. Join us in a shared reflection at this special Mother’s Day weekend event.

also...

Lights and Lullabies Community Practice Workshop!
In preparation for the May 8th and 9th, we are offering a select number of workshops that explore the lullaby as a means of taking care of ourselves and others.  Intergenerational groups, family groups, and other groups can partake of a special 1 to 1 ½ hour workshop, especially designed to explore as a group how people can comfort and be comforted by being a group together. These fun workshops can be specially designed for the needs of each group but will touch on:
    •    Singing, calling, and responding- how the language of song teaches us new ways to communicate!
    •    Moving in lines, circles, and herds - group movement and singing.
    •    Using props - how we use things like flags, puppets, and lights to call attention to ourselves as a group.
