THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED
With the 50-year anniversary of Earth Day approaching, it only seems fitting to address the outrageous and out of control use of plastic. This free workshop/performance is intended to raise awareness, heal and inspire action in a fun and creative environment. Make a dress out of Target bags, a cape from a shower curtain liner trimmed with spoons, a men’s suit from garbage bags, a vest out of bubble wrap, and a hat out of food containers-- the possibilities are endless!
The Plasticity of Fashion throught Sculpture & Dance is at the North Park Village Nature Center, 5801 N. Pulaski, Chicago, Il.
The workshop begins with the performance of "It Never Goes Away", a dance to be premiered in Perceptual Motion, Inc.’s concert on the Climate Crisis- We Touch the Earth, the Earth Touches Us on Friday and Saturday April 17 and 18 at Links Hall. More information at www.perceptualmotiondance.com.
Visual artist Toby Zallman will teach and lead participants in a hands-on workshop in creating clothing using recycled plastic. Bring your single use plastic and learn to make clothing, sculptures, you-name-it in this fun workshop! Objects created in this workshop may be entered into a contest for use in "We Touch the Earth, the Earth Touches Us"".
