Trash Mash-Up Travels to Humboldt Co.

Trash Mash-Up is traveling up to Humboldt County, CA to join in Dell’Arte’s Mad River Festival and Arts! Arcata. Trash Mash-Up will be offering a free workshop on Friday, July 13 from 6:00-9:00pm at the Arcata Playhouse as a part of Arts! Arcata. The Arcata Playhouse is located at 1251 9th Street, behind the Old Creamery Building. The participants will learn the inspiration behind the "Maskostume" design and the purpose of the overall project as well as the environmental issues associated with the project. This event is free and the public is encouraged to attend.
On Sunday, July 15, 2007, Dell’Arte will host the Blue Lake Pageant featuring Trash Mash-Up. Join hundreds of dancers, musicians, giant puppets and masked participants as they take to the streets of Blue Lake in a spirit of energy and creativity that must be experienced to be believed. The parade begins in Blue Lake’s Perigot Park at 4pm and ends in the streets in front of Dell'Arte. The event is free and the public is encouraged to attend.

The members of Trash Mash-Up, Bridget and Jessica McCracken, graduated from the Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre and have worked with The Dell’Arte Company. Drawing from their talent for creating original theatrical productions and their commitment to serving the larger community, TMU is a socially and environmentally conscious art project. Reducing waste by using trash to make art, TMU reminds us all that one person's trash could become an entire community's treasure.
