It’s cold outside. Really cold. So you might just find yourself rushing into your favorite coffee shop to warm up with a hot beverage. Yum. But instead of mindlessly throwing your cup into an overflowing trash can, make art! Choreographer Layard Thompson is collecting all paper and plastic cups to create an installation set for an upcoming performance at Dance Theater Workshop. Below are the instructions from DTW’s blog. And be sure to check out Layard Thompson’s performance.
Please consider taking part in a community effort to co-create an installation set for an upcoming Dance Theater Workshop performance!
Please:
1. SAVE your used disposable paper and plastic coffee and tea cups.
2. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN your used paper and plastic cups.
3. DEPOSIT your artfully RECYCLED and CLEANED cups in the trash can made by cups in our lobby. (look for image above)
4. CONSIDER how recycling your CUPS can directly transform the objective nature of your reality by participating in a mundane art project.
5. HELP Machine and Layard build the set they aspire to create.
This project and set invites you take part in the creation of a dance by saving your waste. To Layard and Machine, your trash is treasure.
