Moving towards 350

Wondering what I'm busy with? Finishing an application for a mutli-disciplinary artist workshop up the West Coast, and making plans for building a non-motorized float on wheels, along with Nicolle Marais (www.nicolleart.yolasite.com). This is for the Cape Town Moving Planet event on 24 September, themed "Tread Lightly". Here's a bit of information about the event:

The Cape Town Moving Planet event will feature a huge march/parade with floats, costumes, puppets and more, with thousands of people, young and old, marching to make change. The event will seek to raise awareness of climate-friendly alternatives to damaging practices like driving your car, cutting down trees, and many other harmful actions. As fun and exciting as it will be, the event will also be a petition, demanding change in the policies and programs put forth by our government that damage the environment.

If we are able to finish the float in time, it will aslo be used druing the opening parage for the Out the Box festival, held annually in Cape Town by UNIMA SA, opening on the 3rd of September this year.

We will need a great amount of time, energy and helping hands to succeed in doing this. So for the GYA gatherings this month as well as next month you are invited to come and help create the float and additional meterials, placards and props for the procession. Sms(0723315057) or email (art@janetbotes.co.za) me the days and times that would suit you best, and I'll plan some sessions when a couple of us are all available to join and create together!
