In the spirit of collaboration that defines the Creative Humanity Alliance, we’re reaching out across generations and disciplines to three artists whose work beautifully embodies what The Choreography of Connection was created to inspire.

This framework was designed to be as flexible as the stories it seeks to tell — it can live as a shadow-theater performance, a contemporary dance with narration, or a multimedia fusion of both. It can be staged simply, with only light and movement, or expanded into a full visual and sonic landscape.

Our dream is to bring together a team that spans time, tradition, and technology — and we believe these three artists could make that happen:

Larry Reed — Founder of ShadowLight Productions, a pioneer in the revival of traditional shadow theater and its modern evolution. His work has bridged cultural heritage and contemporary art for decades, setting the standard for storytelling through shadow. About Larry Reed →

Andrew Schneider — A multidisciplinary artist and technologist whose performances explore human connection through light, sound, and the physics of existence. His production Here draws from the laws of thermodynamics as inspiration to mirror the entropy and the need for renewal within culture itself. About Andrew Schneider →

Philip Jose Galit (Shadow Ace) — A new-generation shadow performer from the Philippines whose innovative storytelling has reached millions worldwide. With humor, heart, and creativity, he has reintroduced the ancient art of shadow play to a global audience. Shadow Ace on Facebook →

Together, these artists represent 3 generations of creative work — from tradition to technology to viral innovation. Imagine what could happen if they joined forces under the CHAMP framework: a cross-disciplinary collaboration that not only brings this piece to life, but also demonstrates the power of peer-to-peer fundraising for community-driven art.

Under the Alliance model, artists collaborate on a shared vision, submit a project budget, and we activate our fiscal partnership system — helping raise funds, build visibility, and support the work through our global network.

A Call to Our Readers

If you know any of these artists — or follow their work — we’d love your help making the connection. Comment, share, or reach out directly. The more people who reach across disciplines and generations, the more powerful this movement becomes.

And to Larry, Andrew, and Philip (Shadow Ace): if you see this — we’d love to collaborate. The Choreography of Connection was made for exactly this moment, and you’re already part of its story.

Every Alliance project can grow through shared support.

Our peer-to-peer fundraising model lets your community help produce creative work while the Alliance provides fiscal sponsorship and promotional backing.
