Over the last six months we have been able to produce two complete video series from start to finish, collaborate with and pay more than fifteen individual artists for their work, launch a collaboration with IN Series, grow our YouTube Channel, and continue development on several upcoming projects. It's been an incredible year. Now, we're looking into the future, and making plans.
Goals
In German Romantics, The Pleiades Project presents three miniseries based on the Lieder of German Romantic composers Clara Schumann, Louise Reichardt, and Fanny Mendelssohn. For our first installment, join us for German Romantics: Clara, where we follow our protagonist as she reconciles with the end of a relationship. Through her vibrant fantasies, she considers the good, the bad, and the romantic in life.
Pleiades | 24 and Inseries

Although Seasons 1- 4 of Pleiades | 24 are temporarily unavailable on our website, you can still watch them! Pleiades is collaborating with IN Series as part of the 2020-2021 Season.
You are invited to the world premiere of Pleiades | 24 Season 5 on INVISION. Join performers and creators for a panel discussion on the work at 4:30 in the Savada-Stevenson Lounge, then visit the Live Studio at 5:00 for the first-ever viewing of the final films of the series that reimagines the 24 Italian Songs and Arias as a vehicle for telling contemporary women's stories. End your evening by toasting and mingling with the creators in an artist reception back in the lounge. |

A Women’s Suffrage Splendiferous Extravaganza!
|
This show is an original music-theater work, inspired by turn-of-the-century vaudeville, in which our daring Maestra Impresaria guides us through the comedic, tragic, and untold stories of the women’s suffrage movement in the United States.
Through unique adaptations of suffrage propaganda, including plays and popular songs, as well as newly commissioned songs from NYC-based composer Lacy Rose, Maestra Impresaria and her troupe lead us on an exhilarating jaunt, as we celebrate, explore, and problematize this historic fight to win the vote. By examining the intersection of the voices of historic women and American women of today, we ask the audience to consider how far we have come in building an equal and just society for all women. |

A Women's Suffrage Splendiferous Extravaganza! is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and administered by LMCC.

Short filmsPerformers, directors, designers, musicians and more come together to create videos that are a theatrical event. Designed to be viewed online, shared and seen over and over again, these projects are our collaborative dreams come true.
