Children’s Mask Making Workshop: A fun movement workshop for the whole family. Children will make their very own animal mask and learn choreography, creating a group dance reflecting nature.
by Federico Restrepo
Hours: Wednesday – Sunday 1 – 7:30PM
La MaMa Galleria is pleased to announce Federico Restrepo’s solo exhibition, Free Falling, composed of sculpture, painting, sound design, shadow screens and dance, Restrepo arouses a series of actions and reactions representing conflict, reflection, desolation and nature – connecting the experience with objects, light and sound. Wire figures float in space provoking contemplation of our effect on nature. The goal, through these different mediums, is to ponder our connection to our environment, question our responsibility to nurture it and implement sustainability for future generations.
FEDERICO RESTREPO was born in Bogotá, Colombia and founded his company, Loco7, at La MaMa in 1986 to expand the use of puppetry in dance theatre. With Loco7 he has created over thirteen original productions, acting as creator, director and designer. Federico had his last solo show at La MaMa La Galleria in 2009 and has participated in several group exhibitions. In 2007 he was part of the USA Exhibit at the Prague Quadrennial 11th International Competitive Exhibition of Scenography and Theatre Architecture. He is a resident choreographer, director, puppet designer, and performer of La MaMa.
This project made possible in part with public funds from Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

PI = 3.14… : Ramallah-Fukushima-Bogota
July 7 – July 14, 2013
Cutting-edge choreographer/ director/ performer Yoshiko Chuma continues a lifetime obsession with the mythology of danger. In PI=3.14… : Ramallah-Fukushima-Bogota, she intentionally confuses documentation with history, recreating steep segments from her own documented events in Ramallah, Fukushima, and Bogota. Chuma assembles a mosaic of dancers, images, filmed interviews and musical selections whose content has the effect of framing theater with barbed wire.
