Join Bash the Trash for an immersive afternoon of music, dance and sonic exploration. Create your own musical instruments from recycled and reused materials, then take part in a fun and noisy parade into the Widow Jane Mine to see “Poodle Miniatures: Portrait of a Poodle”. This dance/theater piece was inspired by a remarkable dog – Alonso – and here he is, as interpreted by a Lady in a hat and purse: the Argentine/French ballerina and clown Sandra Zuniga, backed by a quartet of Bash the Trash musicians. Finally all will join in an antiphonal sonic exploration of the mine in which everyone becomes a mobile music maker.
This is a very family friendly show!

Poodle Miniatures: Portrait of a Poodle
Co-founder Carina Piaggio brings her newest movement / theater work to the intriguing Century House/Widow Jane Mine’s underground stage. This piece explores the commonality of balletic grace and obsessive behavior, blurring the lines between lady and puppy, between human and pet; neither Lady nor Poodle, but a confluence of both.
