Peace Angels: First Steps -- This clip is a teaser for 'Peace Angels - first steps' Logline: When a dream of peace blends with performance, angels will dance. 'Peace Angels - first steps' (a 26 minute documentary directed by Michael Ney, produced by Maddfilms and Sensory Image) tells the story of the creation of a ceremonial event held in Sydney on 25 September 2011 as part of a week of celebrations for the International Day of Peace. The Peace Angels are a new transformational performance based initiative led by artistic director, Antoinette Sampson. Their mission is to celebrate and anchor Peace in cities all over the world by raising consciousness one city at a time. The Peace Angels work in a performance medium - creating live events of exquisite beauty that lift the hearts of their audiences. It was touch and go if the event would even go on as it was threatened by rain... but miraculously the weather cleared just in time. The story of the intense rehearsal process and the personal development leading up to the event culminates in the dramatic performance which featured singers, multi-faith religious speakers, as well as the Peace Angels in illuminated costumes performing sacred ritual dances. Along with live multicultural songs and the ambient music of Japetus, a highlight of the event was the original music by composer Max Lambert - musical director and sound designer - credits include Sydney 2000 Olympics Opening Ceremony, New Year s Eve Celebrations, The Boy From Oz, Hairspray and many other events. This event is literally the first step for the Peace Angels, who are planning appearances in New York and Europe for 2012... but that's another story.
