The Redwood Voice crew was pleased to cover a spectacularly unique performance from a local art adventure group, “DiRT & GLiTTER.” Directors, Producers, and Performers Lauren Godla & Madeline Lawder invited artists from all over—as near as the Bay and as far as Vancouver, Canada—for a comedy, dance, and music show… to be attended by kayak!
We were pleased to receive an invitation out of the office and into a pleasant sunny day by the beautiful Smith River, in which an armada of kayaking spectators made their way between classical musical echoed from the rocks, a ukulele-ing comedian, a dance on an isle in the river, a comedian sitting communally with a squad of squeaking rafts, and, to top it off, Lauren and Madeline with their “Two Suns” suspended dance performance! (We originally covered the Behind the Scenes of this dance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwF7asannr4)

Homelessness SUCKS. Food insecurity, exposure to the elements, and insufficient rest all contribute to that difficult life. And because of these factors, the COVID-19 pandemic is even more threatening to people who are homeless.
Luckily, there are steps an unhoused person can take to protect themselves! Wearing a mask, using hand sanitizer, getting immunized, and safely socially isolating as much as possible are things they can do to help keep themselves safe. Del Norte county has many resources that offer help.
Masks and sanitizers are available at:
-Rural Human Services on 286 M Street
-The Department of Health and Human Services on 880 Northcrest Drive
-Community Assistance Network on 355 Standard Veneer
