The new workshop will produce the now complete work for performances in Boulder and Denver in April and May 2013. The showcase performace April 27th at The Pine Street Church in Boudler will benefit Inventing Earth and also highlight the work of another non-profit, the Colorado Ocean Coalition, dedicated to promoting healthy oceans through education and community engagement.

Check out videos of Queen Victoria's Floating Garden of Secrets & Natural Wonders

Posted by Mary Lin on November 28, 2011 at 9:54pm 0 Comments

If you haven't yet stumbled upon the video snippets from the Queen Victoria premiere in Ma. this past September, you can view them all here: http://www.youtube.com/user/QVSteampunk

Ben intends to try and get the video of the whole show up soon. However, the sound in the hall was pretty mushy and it would be in our best interest to subtitle - anyone handy with that technique who wants to give it a stab?
