Description

Puppetry: Sharing Art to Ensure Lasting Connections with Puppeteer Adelka Polak

Artistic Director and Founder of Sova Dance & Puppet Theater Adelka Polak will share the joys of her lifelong career in puppetry which now focuses on the environment and natural cycles.

Her company was the first to perform at Gateway National Park at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in NYC, and also performed in 2023 at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in Virginia, Battery Park and the Ballard Museum of Puppetry.

Polak has also worked with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop puppets at the New Victory Theater and LaMama in NYC. Polak believes this deep, yet playful art form which is aimed at reaching diverse audiences, including a range of ages, ethnicities and neurodiverse modalities is very effective at communicating what cannot be described in words alone. Polak is first generation Slovak American. Please register belwo.
