DIRT: Where does food “come from” and from what is it made? Here’s a lively primer for urban bumpkins and upcountry gardeners alike. Fusing cutting-edge science and age-old puppetry, DIRT takes audiences on an extravagant journey of discovery into the Great Underneath—revealing the epic alchemy of plants, the fungi’s dance of mutual delight, and the microbes’ herculean labors. Featuring live music and a myriad of puppet figures ranging from 12 inches to 12 feet tall, the show reminds earthly residents of all ages how profoundly essential is the ground beneath their feet. Fifty minutes in length and performed by a five- member company, DIRT is designed for a wide range of venues. Arm-of-the-Sea is an award-winning arts ensemble based in New York’s Hudson River Valley. The company is currently celebrating 35 years of hand-made hope-filled theater. For details, contact [email protected] 845-246-7873 www.armofthesea.org Production & presentation made possible in part by support from the County of Ulster’s Ulster County Cultural Services & Promotion Fund administrated by Arts Mid-Hudson. And by public funds from the New York Council on the Arts, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Photos © 2017 Michael Nelson THE SECRET LIFE OF SOIL
