“You cannot solve a problem from the same level of consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew“.
Albert Einstein
We made the film with young people in East London on The International Day of Peace (21st September) 2013. The project was inspired by the original mime-poem ‘Time for Peace on Earth’ and grew out of our collaboration with Think Big Theatre.
Peace PAX is a resource pack of interactive, multimedia material to cultivate inner and outer peace. It can be used daily weekly, monthly and to mark significant occasions and global events.
Peace PAX brings together the languages of silence, light, mime, poetry, music, song, symbols, baking, planting and the CANDALA art form. A Candala is an illuminated art form to light up our world. Built as an installation with positive intent, it is based on the circle and uses light and symbolic materials. Peace PAX also incorporates a teaching video on YouTube for the mime-poem ‘Time for Peace on Earth’ and Teaching Ideas for schools and other groups.
All the material can be downloaded and is intended to be promoted by word of mouth, by people sharing and living out the ideas and through social networking.
Peace PAX promotes Creativity, Unity and Peace in a way that is simple, playful and profound. It provides a multi-sensory, holistic approach to learning and is based on an integrated approach to personal and collective transformation. The work is suitable for use in schools and a wide range of groups and communities such as drama groups, singing workshops, arts festivals, rehabilitation and recovery programmes.
