GET INVOLVED!
GIve us your plastic -We’ll wear it!
Collaborator Olek is designing the costumes made of plastic six-pack holders. Send your holders to us and they’ll be included in the costumes. You can also lend your hands, learn a new skill and spend an evening with us at The Assembly Line Project to help create the costumes on September 1 at 6:30pm. A big shout out to the Elizabeth Foundation for hosting this aspect of the project!
Clean the Beach and Celebrate the Earth
Your Planet: The Human Mapping Project is aligned with Beach Clean Up days. Volunteer to collect debris prior to the performances, then stay for the performance celebration.
Join in the Performance
Your Planet: The Human Mapping Project concludes with a ritual walk ending at the water. Join hands with us in the walk or if you are musically inclined you can create a rhythm instrument from provided recycled materials and join the master drummers, playing found and recycled objects, that accompany the performance and ritual walk.
