Film screening and director talk back: Trash Dance by Andrew Garrison
eventdetail
Choreographer Allison Orr finds beauty and grace in garbage trucks, and in the unseen men and women who pick up our trash. Austin-based independent filmmaker Andrew Garrison follows Orr as she rides along with Austin sanitation workers on their daily routes to observe and later convince them to perform a most unlikely spectacle. On an abandoned airport runway, two dozen trash collectors and their trucks deliver — for one night only — a stunningly beautiful and moving performance, in front of an audience of thousands, who are awed to discover how in the world a garbage truck can “dance.”
Garrison will lead a talk back after the May 17 event. A movie mixer, which includes free beer and music, will be held afterward in the back yard of 14 Pews.
