Now on Indiegogo: Help Fund a Documentary Film on the Rise of the Chicago Peace Movement
by Alex Smith expertChicago, United States (November 04, 2017) – As
conflict and inequity continue to rise in Chicago, Collaboraction
Theatre Company has emerged as a vital force and primary agent of the
Chicago Peace Movement - deploying theatre to transcend divides,
cutlivate knowledge, inspire dialogue & action, and bring Chicagoans
together.
Big Tent Productions and Director Peter Hutchison have
launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds in support of a feature
length documentary film that will highlight this vital, transformative
work - and take the spirit and message of Chicago Peace movement across
the nation, to those who need it most.
Hutchison noted, “The
Peacebook Chicago Parks Performance Series is at the heart of
Collaboraction’s work in healing and empowering individuals, and the
communities they live in. Our world would be a much better place if
other communities were able to learn from the positive steps Chicago is
taking, in part, under Anthony Moseley’s inspiring creative leadership.”
The Peacebook Parks series was created with the explicit goal of
transcending racial discriminations and uniting Chicagoans from
different cultures. This unique annual performance series – spanning 3
weekends and 3 distinctly differing cultural neighborhoods - concludes
in November.
Collaboraction Theatre Company is a
Chicago-based non-profit art organization that incites change around
critical social issues through original devised theatre. Their PEACEBOOK
Festival is currently touring Chicago with 24 world premiere short
pieces of theatre about peace in Chicago from over 235 artists with free
shows, meals, peace panels and the Dome of Dance – a dance battle
tournament in a geodesic dome. The organization is dedicated to the
power of art and theatre to cultivate action, dialogue, knowledge and
empathy for social betterment.
Peter Hutchison
is a NYC-Based critically acclaimed documentary filmmaker, activist,
educator and New York Times best-selling author. His most recent film
Requiem for the American Dream, featuring Noam Chomsky, is distributed
