Rest in power legendary artist Mr John O’Neal. One of several artists of the Civil Rights era who have had a profound impact on the culture. If you’ve sat in a story circle you have felt his work. To glimpse his brilliance here is a quote from the website Civil Rights Veterans describing how he and fellow SNCC members founded the defacto creative wing of SNCC helping plant the seeds of the Black Arts Movement. . . In October [1963], SNCC members John O'Neal and Doris Derby join with actor/journalist Moses Gilbert and drama instructor William Hutchinson to establish the Drama Workshop at Tougaloo College just outside of Jackson [MS]. From that beginning grows the Free Southern Theater (FST). For Mississippi, the FST is unique — it is racially integrated, it won't play to segregated audiences, and it's productions reflect the social-change agenda of the Movement. Forthrightly, they proclaim the FST's relationship to the Freedom Movement: Through theater, we think to open a new area of protest ... one that permits the growth of and self-knowledge of a Negro audience, one that supplements the present struggle for freedom. ... we feel that the theater will add a necessary dimension to the current Civil Rights Movement through its unique value as a means of education ... stimulate thought and a new awareness among Negroes in the deep South, ... work toward the establishment of permanent stock and repertory companies, with mobile touring units, in major population centers throughout the South, staging plays that reflect the struggles of the American Negro. Our fundamental objective is to stimulate creative and reflective thought among Negroes in Mississippi and other Southern states by the establishment of a legitimate theater, thereby providing the opportunity in the theater and the associated art forms. We theorize that within the Southern situation a theatrical form and style can be developed that is as unique to the Negro people as the origin of blues and jazz. A combination of art and social awareness can evolve into plays written for a Negro audience, which relate to the problems within the Negro himself, and within the Negro community.

This week we had the distinct pleasure of sitting at the knee of a genius. Listening to #BillTJones tell stories about his Analogy Trilogy. Our work is rooted in oral history, so it was particularly inspiring to hear how this ethos influences his work. After holding space with him and watching rehearsals we can’t wait to see the pieces performed by @billtjonesarniezaneco. We’re filming as part of a series profiling artists and their inspirations for the @kennedycenter 2019 season which explores the theme, Human Journey. . . . #productionlife #eyedirect #sounddevices #antonbauer #dance #art #todaysshoot #todaysoffice #artlife #sonya #sonyfs7

Why we fight... On Friday, protectors of this land held a #WaterWarriors screening and Q+A with filmmaker @michaelspremo & film participant/local Warrior @nipawikakinoosit. The event raised money for the West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations' court costs while they fight the #siteC dam. . #whywefight #stopsitec #peaceriver #treaty8 #waterprotecter #waterislife Photo credit/#repost @canadianacresfarm ・・・ The mighty Peace 💛 it’s been ages since we’ve been to this point on Aunt Patty’s field, it’s always been a favorite spot. Whether we’re pickin saskatoons or looking out for moose, it holds a special place on the farm. Though watching the Hydro dam go in is a sad sad sight 😕 missing all those trees they logged last year and wondering what it will look like once it’s flooded. For now, we’ll try and remember it in all it’s glory. #stopsitec
Day 3 of @blackpublicmedia #VR workshop. Lead by the incomparable (and hilarious) @producedbyshelby. Kicking off the day all watching the pieces we made yesterday. A great workshop for testing, playing, and community building. Excited to go back to our studio and dig back into the latest poetic doc VR project we’re developing. The conventions of theater, conceptual art, and the live installations we create are, as much, if not more, applicable than conventional commercial filmmaking. Excited for more of this. Who’s stepping to the plate to fund artists to play in this space?!? we are entrepreneurs who build audiences and impact distribution networks. Let’s do this. #theater #theaterintheround #art #productionlife #blackpublicmedia #VR #virtualreality #blackartists #workshop #taller #storytelling #impactdistribution #movementbuilding @michaelspremo

It was a gift to dig into the elements of a story with this group of inspiring humans. #storyarc #artistotle #poetics #gathersummit #athens #peace #productionlife #storytelling
“Story is to society what DNA is to life. Story is the building blocks of narratives, and narratives form culture.” It’s a pleasure to be in Greece at a gathering of activists and social entrepreneurs from the opposites sides of armed conflict. People from Occupied Palestine, Israel, India, Pakistan, Kosovo, Cyprus, Jordan, Egypt, and more. So inspired by amazing people building peace in the most difficult of situations. Looking forward to our workshops on the elements of story. It’s also provocative to talk about the essential elements of a story here in Greece, elements that remain so similar to what Aristotle observed here 2300 years ago. #thepoetics #storytelling #keynote #productionlife #artlife #Greece #peaceandconflict #peace
Today, seven men were found guilty for the murder of Berta Cáceres, an Indigenous environmental activist in Honduras. The court ruled her assassination was orchestrated and financed by the company #Desa, who were building a hydroelectric dam on the sacred Gualcarque River, which Cáceres was campaigning to stop. Cáceres was best known for defending Indigenous territory and natural resources, but was also a respected political analyst, women's rights activist and anti-capitalist. ¡Berta Cáceres PRESENTE! 🔥 ♥🔥 .
