Loco7 Dance Puppet Theatre is committed to improving our community through artistic and educational programming. Art has the unique power to unite communities and heal unseen wounds. Our programs are designed to foster intergenerational and cross-cultural exchanges. Loco7 aims to cross cultural barriers and arouse a poignant response from the audience made up of children and families from various New York City neighborhoods.
A goal of the company is to help enforce the necessity of family structure and activity, as well as deepen family’s roots in the community. We subsidize all programs with a no family turned away policy if the ticket price or workshop fee is not affordable. The undertaking of the ensemble is to deal with themes such as South and Central American Culture and History, the immigrants' experience and New York City Urban Life. Always striving to build a bridge between performer and audience, we hope to engage them and use art as a means of unifying cultures and generations.
Loco7 Company is a modest, not-for-profit arts organization. The company is artist-run and maintains a small office and storage facility in New York City. In addition, the company provides an artistic home and professional foundation for a multi-cultural group of performers, designers and theatre artists who collaborate with Loco7 on a project basis. In addition Loco7 company members curate a month long Puppet Festival at La MaMa Experimental Theatre and serve as producers for the La MaMa Kids program.
