Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

'Trash' dance celebrates everyday labor as art: "Freeman is driving in unison with three other trucks while music plays. And he's not exactly retrieving trash: He's rehearsing for one of Austin's most unusual dance performances.

Freeman is one of 25 employees of the city's Solid Waste Services Department who have volunteered for 'The Trash Project,' Orr's latest creative venture using nondancers and their movements as the basis of a choreographed performance. It's all part of an effort to celebrate the artistry in everyday work, and it will be staged on the weekend following Labor Day."
