OPrak’s next cool project!
November 20 & 21, 2025 in Marc Scorca Hall at OPERA America
Spoon Theory Song Cycle
Spoon Theory Song Cycle is inspired by an essay written by Christine Miserandino viscerally expressing the experience of being disabled.
She explains what it’s like living day-to-day with a disability, using spoons as a metaphor!
Spoon Theory touches a resonant chord in the hearts and minds of people with and without disabilities around the world because it expresses different types of energy for getting through the day,
be it physical, psychological or emotional.
OPrak’s song cycle knits spoken word with song and music, to create a dynamic, impactful work that we like to call the Spoon Cycle.
Our aim is to educate, entertain, and champion the message of Spoon Theory. Please help support this project and be part of the community that brings Spoon Theory and song together in an impactful and profoundly moving way!
