No One Should Age Alone.
LifeStage is a warm, safe virtual space where seniors connect with each other and with the world — through the arts, creativity, and shared human experiences. On any screen. In any language. From home.
In the Age of Connectivity, Millions Age in Silence

cigarettes a day — the health equivalent of chronic loneliness
We live in the most connected era in human history. Yet for millions of older adults, technology has become another wall — not a bridge. Small screens, confusing interfaces, and platforms designed for the young have left an entire generation behind. The result is a silent epidemic of loneliness that carries devastating health consequences.
But it does not have to be this way. The arts have always been humanity's most powerful tool for connection. And technology, when designed with care, can bring people together instead of pushing them apart.
A Living Room That Spans the World
LifeStage is not another video call app. It is a warm, welcoming virtual space designed specifically for older adults — where the arts, creativity, and the wisdom of a lifetime become the bridge that connects people across generations, languages, and borders.
Safe & Simple
Designed for seniors first. Big buttons, clear text, no confusing menus. Just turn on your TV or tablet and you are there.
No Language Barriers
Real-time translation lets you join a singing group in Italian, a painting class from Japan, or a storytelling circle in Spanish — and understand every word.
Intergenerational
Grandparents and grandchildren share experiences together. Young facilitators bring energy; seniors bring wisdom. Everyone belongs.
Global Communities
Connect with kindred spirits in Tokyo, Buenos Aires, London, or Miami. Age-based and interest-based groups that feel like family.
Virtual Rooms Where Connection Happens
Imagine walking into a warm room full of friendly faces — people who share your love of music, painting, poetry, or simply good conversation. That is what LifeStage rooms feel like. Small groups, led by caring facilitators, where every voice matters.
Community Chorus
Sing together across borders. No audition needed — just your voice and your heart.
Art & Creativity Studios
Paint, draw, craft, and create together. Share your work and be inspired by others.
Storytelling Circles
Share your life stories, listen to others, and discover that your experiences matter deeply.
Music Appreciation
Explore the world's music together — from opera to jazz, from classical to folk traditions.
Cultural Explorations
Virtual visits to museums, galleries, and performances around the world — together.
Wisdom & Conversation
Open discussions about life, creativity, current events, and the art of aging well.
All rooms are small groups (8-15 people) to ensure everyone is seen, heard, and valued.
A Night at the Opera — From Your Living Room
A live opera performance in Miami. The theater is full. But among the audience, glowing softly, are virtual attendees from around the world — a retired teacher in Tokyo, a grandmother in Buenos Aires, a couple in London. They see the stage as if they were there. They hear every note. And they understand every word, translated in real time.
This is not science fiction. This is LifeStage.
Facilitators: Artists, Educators & Cultural Animators
LifeStage facilitators are not therapists — they are passionate artists, educators, musicians, and cultural animators who create warm, engaging group experiences. They bring their talent and their heart, and they earn a fair income for their invaluable work.
How It Works for Facilitators
Create Your Room
Design your session — a chorus rehearsal, a painting class, a storytelling circle, a music appreciation conversation. You set the theme, the schedule, and the price.
Build Your Community
Participants find you based on their interests. Your reputation grows through reviews and word of mouth. The best facilitators build loyal followings.
Earn Fairly
Sliding scale pricing based on demand. New facilitators start accessible; experienced ones earn more. You set your rates. LifeStage takes a small platform fee.
Grow Your Impact
Reach seniors across the world, not just your neighborhood. Your art and your care can touch lives in Tokyo, Buenos Aires, London — all from your home.
Invest in Connection, Not Isolation
Senior service providers, healthcare organizations, and brands that serve older adults can sponsor rooms, subsidize access for low-income seniors, and reach a deeply engaged audience through respectful, value-aligned advertising.
Sponsor a Room
Fund free sessions for seniors who cannot afford to pay. Your brand becomes synonymous with care.
Reach Your Audience
Respectful advertising to a deeply engaged community of seniors and their families.
Corporate Wellness
Offer LifeStage access as a benefit for your employees' aging parents and grandparents.
Born from the Younger at Art Program
LifeStage was born from a real experience. During the pandemic, our founders — Xiomara Ponce and Jacqueline Solorzano, artists, facilitators, and directors of The Opera Atelier, working with seniors in Miami — saw firsthand how isolation was devastating older adults. They taught them Zoom, gave them tablets, and created morning connection groups that became lifelines. When the organization they worked for closed, that space was lost. But the dream never died.
That dream became the "Younger at Art... YA!" program at The Opera Atelier, Inc. — a Florida-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit advancing opera through performance, education, and community engagement since 2012. The YA! program already transforms lives through in-person activities: Senior Community Chorus, Music Appreciation, Cultural Outings, Intergenerational Workshops, Storytelling Sessions, and more.
LifeStage is the digital bridge that takes this proven model to the world — so that no senior, anywhere, has to age alone.
Designed for the Screens Seniors Actually Use
No smartphone-first design that leaves older adults behind. LifeStage works beautifully on the screens that matter most — the big TV in the living room where family gathers, the tablet on the couch, and even VR headsets for the adventurous.
Smart TV
The primary experience. Watch performances and join rooms on your big screen with family.
Tablet
Touch-friendly interface with large buttons. Designed for comfort, not complexity.
VR Headset
For the immersive experience — feel like you are sitting in the theater or the art studio.
