Shaker Library Offers Intergenerational Series with Sheela Das

Join a fun group of seniors (ages 55+) and children (3d grade and up) to work with teaching artist Sheela Das to create puppets, write a play, and perform for an audience. This is an 8-session workshop on Thursday afternoons from 4-5:30 pm beginning March 30 through May 18.

Intergenerational programming is a mutually beneficial learning experience for seniors and students. Through spending time and participating in activities together, the benefits for students and seniors can be a higher sense of purpose and self-esteem.

Sheela Das is a professional musical artist, performer, producer, songwriter, and teaching artist. In 2019, she joined the prestigious Ohio Arts Council roster of teaching artists in the music and multidisciplinary categories. She is currently an Artist-in-Residence at several Cleveland schools through the Teach Arts Ohio program and provides community music and puppetry workshops for senior adults, students' summer camps, and after-school programs.

Space is limited, and advance registration is required. Please call the library (216-991-2030) to register. Funding for this intergenerational program has been provided by Ohio Arts Council.
