About SU-CASA

SU-CASA is a community arts engagement program that places artists and organizations in residence at senior centers across the five boroughs of New York City. The program, is funded by the New York City Council, provides grants to artists and organizations for the creation and delivery of arts programming for seniors. Teaching artists will engage participating seniors in an art project or series of cultural programs over the course of the residency, which will also include a public program component – an exhibit, reading, performance, open house or other cultural interaction open to the surrounding community.

STUDIES IN PUPPET FORM AND PERFORMANCE, conducted by Federico Restrepo of Loco7 Dance Puppet Theatre, will engage seniors at the Polish Slavic Ctr JP II Older Adult Center with puppetry, movement, and storytelling exercises. Over the course of the 15-week program, participants will learn how to use puppetry to communicate character and action, as well as to improve body control and body language. They will create their own puppets and collaboratively develop a short puppet and movement performance that highlights their own stories.
