CANOPY—A RAINFOREST ODYSSEY created by Christopher Eaves to premiere in November 2010 at the Stepping Stones Museum (SSMC), Norwalk, CT. CANOPY will premiere in the museum's newly built state of the art Multi-Media Gallery. In addition to creating and performing CANOPY, Eaves (the SSMC's 2010 artist in residence) is currently leading a year-long professional development series with the museum staff.

CANOPY—A RAINFOREST ODYSSEY marks a continuation of Eaves' theatrical design and construction of performative works that are lit entirely via projected image and animation. The SSMC's Multi-Media Gallery features an enormous concave video wall designed specifically for the museum space which is providing Eaves an ideal canvas upon which to imagine and engage. Coinciding with the premiere of CANOPY will be the opening of the museum's new Rainforest Exhibit which will provide an ideal compliment for young audiences attending the play!

EN PLEIN AIR—IMPRESSIONS OF PAINTING IN GIVERNY & OLD LYME premiered on June 25th at the Florence Griswold Museum in historic Old Lyme, CT. Written, designed and performed by Christopher Eaves, EN PLEIN AIR coincided with the Museum's exhibition Impressionist Giverny—American Painters in France, 1885–1915, Selections from the Terra Foundation for American Art.
