Overview
“New York Plays” is a series of three “community PLAYgrounds” where adults and young people will rediscover the value of play in helping New Yorkers to more creatively navigate these very troubling times. Play is a powerful stimulus for creativity and innovation, and helps diverse groups of people and communities to create new conversations and new confidence in themselves as agents of change. Activities will include improvisational theatre exercises, circus activities and conversational games led by experienced artists, educators and community organizers.
Deliverables:·
- 3 half-day playgrounds throughout NYC, 100 participants in each event.·
- A citywide forum for participants to share their experiences and discuss future activities, minimum 125 participants.
- More intensive training for participants interested in becoming “play workers” in their communities
