Date:
Friday, December 4th | 12-2:30 PM
Location:
Queens Community House
108-25 62nd Dr, Forest Hills, NY 11375
Join us for a Queens-wide celebration of Raising Our Voices, exploring how dance and poetry can build bridges across words and movement, communities and experiences.
12:00–1:00 PM: Lunch, brain health trivia & music
1:00–2:30 PM: Interactive performance, dance and poetry activities, and the unveiling of zines created by older adults and people living with dementia across Queens.
Witness dances created by older adults from Queens Center for Gay Seniors and Jamaica Older Adult Center, then join movement and poetry activities that invite everyone to create, connect, and move together.
We’ll also unveil zines co-created by people living with dementia and older adults from communities across Queens, capturing their words, ideas, memories, and creative voices.
Over the past several months, DanceStream Projects has brought Raising Our Voices into three Queens communities, where participants have worked with poet Mark Timmons, who lives with dementia, and DanceStream teaching artists to transform poetry, memories, and experiences into movement.
All ages and experiences are welcome. Come dance, listen, connect, and celebrate!
