This week Shoko Kambara and I thought a little magical thinking was what we needed as students and staff head back to school and trickle back to work. That lead us to a mashup of the “His Dark Material” animals and magical creatures in “Harry Potter”.
In our mystical universe, it is totally safe to go back to school and work because each person is protected by a pair of guardian spirits who have created a protective bubble around them.
Pictured here: the large bubble is from “An American Soldier” at @operatheatrestl for the character Josephine and is protected by two jaguar characters from “Oh, Figaro” that I designed for The National Theater of the Deaf. The play that was a mash up of “The Marriage of Figaro” and “The Barber of Seville”. The medium sized bubble contains a design for Silvio from “El Milagro del Recuerdo” at @hougrandopera and is protected by the Friar and falcon I designed for @hoodmusical at @dallastheatercenter. The small bubble is Aracelli from “El Milagro del Recuerdo” and is protected by Moth from “Fairycakes” and the Queen of the Night from “The Magic Flute” at @chicagooperatheater.
