Performance: November 10, 2012 @ 2 pm
The Center: 208 West 13th Street
Manhattan, New York
In New York City, LGBTQ people from different generations have had few opportunities to connect. They have splintered into age-segregated micro-communities, robbing them of opportunities to weave a common history and share strategies both have used to survive and thrive. Bridging the Gap is a community-based intergenerational theatre project designed to address this problem.

McGolrick Park
Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Newtown Creek Celebration is a community-based visual and theater arts program that offers young people the opportunity to gain puppet-making, improvisation, and theater performance skills.
The project culminates in a community-wide celebration consisting of a procession of the puppets through the neighborhood to McGolrick Park and a performance of the original theater pieces created by the young people. Project objectives include: heightening awareness of environmental issues around Newtown Creek; encouraging stewardship to protect natural areas; building visual arts skills through puppet and mask-making; increasing teamwork through group theater-making; exposing youth to various ways an art project can be “greened”; and enhancing the quality of neighborhood life by offering an arts celebration that brings together different community sectors.
This event is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the Decentralization Program of the New York State Council on the Arts, both administered in Kings County by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC). The program is offered as part of the North Brooklyn Development Corporation Summer Camp. Additional support provided by Everybody Act! Theater in Education & Communities

The group will investigate their associations to the object through activities like storytelling, improvisation and reflection to create scenes which incorporate the object as a thematic motif.
