The first blue of this year! It’s been an exciting year of R&D into producing natural dyes and pigments from plants locally to us here in Greater Manchester as part of The Living Dress project. There’s so much to learn still, we wanted to bring you along for this part of our indigo growing journey. What an amazing plant. Here Dan talks you through some of the process of extracting pigment from the plants 🌱

A huge shoutout to our small community of indigo growers in Tameside. Stay tuned for more! 💙

Performer Callout ✨

Are you a professional performer or have experience in dance/theatre/movement/stilts/Carnival/circus etc)? If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you.

We’re running a short evening training session in October and it will be a chance to find out more about Cabasa and our gigs, try out some of our costumes, back pack wings, large puppets, and to meet the team.

Training will be provided as part of this informal audition process at our studio in Mossley, Tameside. We are particularly keen to hear from local performers to Greater Manchester.

We are an outdoor arts organisation so performers will need to be resilient and manage in all weathers.

Date and time: Thursday 10th October 7pm - 9pm

If you’d be interested, email Mary@cabasacarnivalarts.com and tell us a little bit about your performance experience.

Tag anyone you think would be interested below 👇

We had a wonderful time at @chesterzoo Wildlife Connections Festival over the weekend with our Small Is Beautiful wings. 🦋

Thanks to everyone that tagged us rocking the wings. Check out amazing photo we got sent of this little one from last year! We hire these out as a package for events where little people (and big people) can transform into a butterfly, and live their best life like this little superstar 🤩

A few snaps from The Living Dress at Museum Day in August at Portland Basin Museum in Ashton. We added more summery tones to our Spring Dress using chamomile, madder, and over dying with indigo.

All the fabrics have been naturally dyed, and printed here in Greater Manchester, with many of the flowers grown right here in Mossley. It was also fun to be joined by The Milltown Cloggies too!

Join us tomorrow Thursday 22nd August at Portland Basin Museum 11am - 3pm in Ashton-under-Lyne. Our 5m tall sculpture and dress will be on display as part of Museum Day at Portland Basin Museum.

We’ve transformed our spring dress into a summer one with help from the wonderful women Tameside, here’s some behind the scenes action.

We’ve run volunteer sessions at the museum in Ashton as well as here at The Vale in Mossley. We’ve been flower bashing to make prints (Hapazome), leaf rubbing through stencils, patchwork and embroidery, as well as dyeing with weld, indigo, madder, and chamomile to get our Living Dress summer ready.

All of plants and flowers for printing have been grown locally 🌱
