Whimsy & Wonder on the New Moon

Lullaby Moon XI

The evening began on 1st & Bell St.
We walked south along First Avenue,
and those dressed in white joined in the march.
The Seattle Art Museum
is where the nights revels officially began.
After a few dances,
we began a game of follow the leader.
We frolicked,
around the block and into Benaroya Hall.
We danced along the sidewalks, streets and alleys.
They stopped for tea party at the bottom of the stairs.
A long evening of follow the leader,
following: horses, clocks, rabbits, owls, and suits.
In the very end they waved goodbye,
in front of Pike Place Market.

It was a wonderfully surreal evening.

Lullaby Moon XI

Thursday, August 20, 2009
Twilight revels begin at 7:45 pm downtown Seattle.
Come find us along First Avenue!
Please wear white and join our evening celebration!
Those with early bedtimes are welcome to attend any part of the festivities.

Lullaby Moon XI is envisioned and created by Lucia Neare, with choreography by Guy Caridi, Olivier Wevers, Mark Haim, Karn Junkinsmith, and Jenna Bean Veatch, and technical direction by David Verkade.

Lullaby Moon is a year-long invitation to Seattle to explore a world of dream. A celebration of the night sky, the series of performance events brings bedtime whimsy and wonder to parks and other public spaces throughout the city, enlivening and enlightening the dark time of each month. Performances take place on each new moon for an entire lunar year beginning in October 2008. Lullaby Moon is supported by 4Culture's Site Specific Performance Network, the Mayor's Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, Seattle Parks and Recreation, and the generosity of private donors.

A World of Wonder on the night of the New Moon

Celebrating the new moon can be just as fun, especially while attending the Lullaby Moon in Seattle.

"Lullaby Moon is a year-long invitation to Seattle to explore a world of dream. A celebration of the night sky, the series of performance events brings bedtime whimsy and wonder to parks and other public spaces throughout the city, enlivening and enlightening the dark time of each month."

On the evening of July 22nd, many people gathered on the kite hill in Gas Works Park to welcome the new moon.
