A workshop made possible by Mitacs Accelerate, Tapestry Opera, and Redshift Music @ Tapestry Opera Studios in Toronto’s historica Distillery District

2nd of two workshops on Hover, by Lindsay Cuff and Benton Roark. Hover is a full-length music theatre work that takes a humanist angle in recontextualizing the physical travails of historical figures in a dream-scape of synchronized swimming, physical theatre, operatic singing, and site- specific acoustic phenomena.
