Window into Process

Hello Everyone!

Come out and create! Get your MALI Festival tickets and remember...everything we need is already within us and is always available to us.

We just want to say how amazing it has been to meet all of you new creatures and how grateful we are to be sharing and building a talent bank in this creative community of Austin! We had such a great turnout at the GAGA Anniversary Show Gathering and we're looking forward to seeing you all again this Saturday, at the GAGA GALA and future performances at the M.A.L.I. FESTIVAL!!

The GAGA Gala is May 9th at the US Art Authority - $5 at the door, from 1PM - 12am. $10 after 6PM, it becomes a more adult-oriented get-together. Michael has been making prototypes of original patches, dresses, and accessories, and other Creature Rock items that you can come make with us at the Gala. She will be there from 3-7pm, making costumes, teaching anyone who wants to learn how to sew/design at the swap tables! She's walking the runway in designer clothes made by local artisans who use repurposed and organic materials. Come make a creative outfit and walk the runway with Michael! Grab a CD and check out the world of GAGA, and stay for Baruzuland's shadow puppet theatre!

We've learned a lot from working with the artists at The Greater Austin Garbage Arts!

Sustainable living through identifying what we can do to extend the lifespan of nonrecyclable items and building community that supports experimentation and creative solutions: Michael actually collected her trash for a week, like Dottii recommended, to see what her consumer patterns were like. Understanding the "reduce waste" mindset not only cut the amount of things she threw out by 3/4ths, but also extended her creatively in her home activities by finding ways to repurpose, (Who knew that was possible!) and has generally cultivated a sense of personal responsibility and mindfulness.

And thanks to GAGA for sharing their knowledge and resources and introducing us to all sorts of creative helping hands, who taught us everything from screen printing, to specialized stitchery, learning how to acquire donations, and helping Creature Rock figure out ways to make things work! We are privileged to be a part of these awesome events! Nothing is wasted on us! Come get your tickets to Michael's upcoming performances, tomorrow at the GALA, while we work together on our finale costumes for the M.A.L.I. Festival and share our learnings with you.

The Creature says, "All the fabrics I am sewing, to beautify Austinites unknowing, of our music we're bestowing with creative stitchery a flowing!"

Creature Rock's MALI performance is shaping up into something truly worth attending! We have two dancers, 3 killer set lists at 3 awesome venues, and an impressive roster of other performers in the lineup...
