James Clements Named Brooklyn Arts Council SU-CASA Artist-in-Residence

James Clements has been announced as a SU-CASA Artist-in-Residence for the Brooklyn Arts Council for the second consecutive year. Over the course of this upcoming residency, Clements will work with seniors at Stuyvesant Heights Older Adult Center through a program entitled "Looking Back/Looking Forward," an interview-based devising process to create a verbatim audio play. The documentary play, which will created entirely using the participating senior's own voices and words, will be built through these interviews, devising exercises and testimony, and allows these seniors to reflect on decades of life in Brooklyn. "My previous experience creating art with older folks in Brooklyn, mainly fellow immigrants, through this program last year was one of the most important and seminal creative experiences of my life so far," noted Clements. "I am thrilled to be returning to the SU-CASA program to build a new piece based on the lived experiences of another group of seniors in our amazing borough."
