    Bus Opera

    The Santa Fe Bus Opera spans an active Santa Fe bus route, taking the audience through various parts of the city, “weaving” together its neighborhoods, geographies, and people while telling a new Santa Fe story that collapses time, gives voice to the lesser heard, and celebrates the richness of community life. Based on interviews with bus drivers and riders and utilizing a team of live vocalists and musicians and street performers, The Bus Opera invokes the past and present of Santa Fe. The premiere performance of this hour long piece is planned for October of 2012. As a Miami journalist remarked at the preview, “This is the Santa Fe story that no one is telling.”

    Low graduation rates and poverty dominate the story of New Mexico education. However, when examined through the lens of rural New Mexican students, a dynamic and more complex set of human narratives emerge – of deep family ties, perseverance, cultural traditions, bridging worlds, personal struggle and success.

    OUR TIME IS NOW was produced by New Mexico-based creative engagement non-profit Littleglobe and their “Turn the Lens” community filmmaking engagement program. OUR TIME IS NOW was funded in part by the New Mexico Higher Education Department and the GEAR UP NM Documentary Film Initiative, a collaborative statewide filmmaking project bringing forward stories within New Mexico's public high schools.

    Littleglobe is a New Mexico-based 501(c)(3) organization devoted to building individual and community capacity through collaboration and creative engagement. Littleglobe exists to create collaborative art, encourage community capacity, and foster life-affirming connections across the boundaries that divide us.

  • Mark Chino: American Graduate Day

    Mark Chino: American Graduate Day

    Mark Chino is a 15-year old student from the Santa Ana Pueblo (Tamaya) in New Mexico who attends Bernalillo High School. This seven-minute "Mini-Doc" follows Mark in his daily life bridging these two worlds: his rural Tribal community which provides him with a unique sense of self, the Keres language and a broad set of community responsibilities (tending fields, preparing for dances), and in contrast, the many expectations, ethics and duties as a student within the US Public School system. This film brings forward the challenges Native students like Mark face in today's world, and the power and necessity of a web of support provided by family, school and community.
