First Person Arts

At the premiere First Person Salon at the Gershman Y, Miss Koco debuted Pieces of Koco, an experiment in “letting go of things” and “collecting stories” along the way. After a lifetime of (sometimes unintentionally) collecting chotchkeys, figures, and other bits and pieces, Miss Koco has decided that it’s time to give these pieces a new start: some will be given away, some will be recycled, and all will be cataloged. Miss Koco will return to the First Person salon stage this month to update her audience on the progress of her work—and perhaps bring along a few friends to share their part of the story. You can find out more about Miss Koco’s project here, and follow the adventures of one of her given-away pieces—aptly named Prague the Frog—at his blog.
