OH COLONIZERS
Oh Colonizers remixes a satirical Masterpiece Theatre format with a TV reality dating show to expose the folly of “Honkey Kong 2021.” With her signature humor and insight, Carla Stillwell unpacks the ways white people throughout America’s history have spread "oppression mayonnaise" over countless Black and Brown people, focusing particularly on the period after the Civil War when America had a choice between emancipation, reconciliation, and capitalism.
BECOMING
The goal of Becoming is to continue to provide space and fellowship for people looking to understand White Privilege, unlearn inherent White Supremacy, engage in meaningful dialogue around systems of oppression with others, and support each other in being actively anti-racist moving forward. As a group, we will explore critical elements of racism and White Supremacy, including history, modern-day events/issues, best practices for communications, and share our journeys.
OUR PRODUCTION HISTORY
By looking at the timeline of Collaboraction’s production history, one can see how we evolved from a Chicago storefront theatre company to agency of social change producing online live performances.
