Tasked with inspiring students to notice the amount of littering present on our University campus, my fellow performers and I will be participating in an action which involves the repetitive throwing and picking up of trash found on the Syracuse University campus. This performance will be located in the Quad and will consist of specific scheduled timings and places in order to better portray the message.

Friday October 8th, 9:30am-12:30pm.

Syracuse, NY October 8, 2010

Four averagely dressed students each carrying black trash bags filled with garbage found on the Syracuse University campus will be performing in five different locations on the Quad, for five minutes at a time. This performance is to show the repetitive nature of littering that occurs in the University grounds. The performance will consist of throwing the trash from the bags onto the Quad and then picking all of the trash up again, in silence and without emotion. With the performers all being anonymous but appearing like an average student, this allows a connection to be made with the observing audience, and allow their own personal realization of their part in the littering of our campus. The Division of Student Affairs, Syracuse University, supports this performance.
