Bash the Trash Environmental Arts

HASTINGS ON HUDSON, NY
United States

Bash the Trash programs are about music, science, culture, arts and the environment! Centered around the concept of sustainability, we’ve been building and performing with found-object instruments for over 30 years, making connections to plastic pollution and climate change. 

Over time our programs have evolved into a wide range of musical and cultural experiences that go beyond homemade instruments. Our diverse crew of presenters offer a series of programs based on their individual artistic skills and cultural backgrounds, making connections with students through their amazing experiences. We’re eager to interact with audiences through the arts, Q&A and conversation to create true cultural and artistic exchanges. 

Hands-on instrument-building or art-making is possible in most programs using simple reused/repurposed materials. Bash the Trash offers workshop/performances and multiple-session residencies as well as fun and useful professional development for educators, all closely aligned to national and local standards. Plus Bash the Trash programs are great for special days like Earth Day, National Recycling Day and World Water Day! 

Program Details

Format

This series is a flexible set of lessons that is dependent on the instrument, instructor, length of residency, setup and logistics of the students at the far end, and desired outcomes. We'll work with you to create a sequential series of lesson plans.

One of the most important factors is the instruments in the school. Presenter will need to know exactly what kind of instruments the students will be playing, how many students there are, and how many instruments there are.
