OVERTONE INDUSTRIES' MISSION

Overtone Industries creates vivid, original myths and fables, bringing
them to life in the form of multi-disciplinary opera and music/theatre.

We are passionate about live performance and its power to generate
transformation, as performers and audience participate together in each
unfolding moment. We believe that artistic expression is an essential
part of living, a catalyst for both artists and audience members to
understand themselves in a fresh new way.

Collaboration is at the heart of our process and we believe it is
essential to give each project the time and devotion it requires to come
to life, by exploring new relationships among words, vocal music,
traditional and invented instruments, theater, art installations and
contemporary movement. We build our work to last, often taking years to
bring a piece to fruition.

Our purpose is to create work that will inspire a broad demographic of
people to experience together the big questions and the big joy of being
alive.
