Art and Music in Motion BY ANNA-RHESA VERSOLA
The Chatham Arts Council held its second Truck-and-Trailer Roving Performance in November with artists and musicians bringing the arts to the Love’s Creek neighborhood outside Siler City. Several volunteers hoisted handmade papiermâché puppets while artistic director Cheryl Chamblee put on an oversized insect head as part of her costume. Gretchen Adracie of Paperhand Puppet Intervention wore butterfly wings and a head. Geoffrey Neal, known as the bubble guy, secured himself standing on the back of a pickup truck to create enormous bubbles for neighborhood kids to chase and pop. The slow-motion parade wound through the quiet streets, and families peeked through their curtains and blinds to see the source of music performed by Larry Bellorín and Joe Troop. CM 4 5
