Recycling Show is Magic!

An environmental show for young people is being run in the Blackbox Theatre Space in the Model and Niland Gallery, The Mall, Sligo over the weekend of June 10th & 11th at 2.00 p.m

‘Recycling the Magical Way’ uses colour, drama and a little magic to gain the attention of young people, in an effort to promote good waste management habits. The performances are sponsored by Sligo County Council and Sligo Borough Council under the Environment Partnership Fund.  
 
The show highlights the issue of overflowing bins, excessive waste, and the problems that refuse creates if not dealt with effectively. The performances demonstrate good waste management habits in a refreshing and upbeat manner, ultimately the message is that everyone must try harder to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Magician Marvin and his hilarious friend ‘Verne the Bird’ discuss many aspects of waste and recycling and the show ends with a fundamental waste message for us all.

Presenter of the show Kelvin Moore alias ‘Magician Marvin’ has taken a number of months to put this fun learning experience together on behalf of the sponsoring Local Authorities. Kelvin is a magician, storyteller and puppeteer. He has combined skills to highlight the waste issue in an attention-grabbing manner.

The Local Authorities hope that this project will reinforce the great work that many students are involved in through the Green Schools Programme and spur others to take action on waste both in school and at home.
