New Release:
"Acting Together II: Performance and Creative Transformation of Conflict
Volume II: Building Just and Inclusive Communities"
From the boundary of human suffering and human possibility emerges a story that offers hope to our war-weary world. It is a story that arises on a contested boundary, but not the kind of boundary that divides people at war. It is rather the border between the violence and inequity of our current condition and the more just and peaceful world we seek, terrain where artists and peacebuilders engage people in creative acts of courage and moral imagination.
Acting Together, a collaboration between Brandeis University and Theatre Without Borders, has been exploring this terrain for the past seven years. The project documents peacebuilding performance, highlighting artists, peacebuilders, and community leaders from every continent whose rituals and theatrical works speak truth to power and support communities to mourn losses and build bridges across differences.

"Acting Together on the World Stage" is an exploration of how performance engages conflict, nurtures constructive change, and builds peace. It artfully places before us the human story unfolding and invites us to penetrate through the mask to find our way back to humanity.– John Paul Lederach.
