Applewood Place Assisted Living

Remixing the Everyday

Residents of Applewood Place, A Juniper Senior Living Community, have been working hard in art and creative writing workshops!

They’ve taken a particular interest in art and writing practices that remix words or images from our daily lives, such as cut-up poetry, where we simply cut up old newspapers, books and magazines and rearrange the words to make poems. A true sense of fun and wonder arises when we see our finished poems in Cut-Up Poetry Class- sometimes the poems are profound, nonsensical, or hilarious! Everyone has a creative self, and sometimes all that’s needed to activate it is an old magazine.

If you would like to learn more about this and other programs at Applewood Place, please contact Tracy or Adam at 303-233-4343 to schedule a visit.
