We journey through different landscapes to show different forms of metamorphosis, including tadpole to frog and caterpillar to butterfly in this uplifting and relaxing performance about our natural cycles and transformations in our world. Performing Artist Adelka Polak with music by Cynthia & Rick Quintanal take the audience on a journey through the seasons with an exciting soundscape to bring the natural transformations to life! Sova Theater engages the audience to consider how we fit into and affect the natural world.

Open Space at least 15' wide x 15' deep.
Plus, seating for children, teachers, parents, etc.

Note: We have modified the show to fit into special needs and medically diverse classrooms when it is too difficult to move the students to the auditorium and we just need to know in advance. 6 weeks notice regarding this information is helpful when we are scheduling performers.

I CAN see how visual art can express an idea within a story (using visual language to accompany the verbal language).
I CAN see how puppetry relates to dance, because it requires the movement of objects to bring life what would otherwise be a static sculpture when not used by a performer.
I CAN see how puppetry, dance and music depicted local animals & plants in the seasons.
I CAN understand how actions of people have a reaction on the environment and land that we live on.
I CAN observe the world around me to learn how it works just like the performer has in the stories she tells. i.e. the cycles of the seasons and how frogs live during each one; the importance of space exploration to see the world from a new perspective; how leaves dance throughout the seasons based on the height of the sun in the season.
I CAN overcome fears by learning something about what it is I am afraid of.
I CAN identify similarities, differences, and links between people, animals and the ecosystem that we inhabit.
