About This Provider

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

Each performance is different. In general however, the program objectives are:

1. Meet an artist, learn about what they do
2. Discover their art form, the history, background, culture
3. Experience some of that art form - audio, video, performance, etc.
4. Get student reflections and questions
5. Begin a “cultural exchange” between the students and the performer; increase knowledge of different cultures and encourage respect for different traditions and backgrounds
6. Get a hands-on experience in an art form, and then use it in a fun "sharing"
7. Consider how the arts can be a force for peace and understanding in the world

Objectives

Objectives will vary depending on what program we build!
But in general:
Discover something new to you
Explore the details
Get a hands-on experience
Make connections
Have fun!
