The 52nd Street Project
BUILDS CHARACTER(S)! In March and April of 2022, Garrett Kim led a workshop on the creation of characters. Our members create character profiles during Playmaking classes, but this workshop took things a few steps beyond the normal process. The course culminated in the students costuming themselves or an adult volunteer as their finished characters and taking photo portraits. Here are the finished portraits with their profiles. GLORIA SANCHEZ'S CHARACTER Name: Victoria (Played by Gloria). Age: 13. Family: Father and five sisters. Habitat: New Jersey. Busy, very small two-bedroom apartment, one for Dad, one for the others.
