Respectful Revolution returns to Durango
The Respectful Revolution Project, which documents positive actions throughout the U.S. with short video portraits, will return to Durango this week.
A selection of project portraits will be displayed at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Smiley Building, 1309 East Third Ave., followed by a video presentation and discussion with filmmakers Gerard Ungerman and Stacey Wear.
The event is one of many stops on the project’s Respectful Revolution Road Trip III. Ungerman and Wear have been crisscrossing the country for three years interviewing and creating videos about inspiring individuals – including Durango residents Charles Shaw, Linda Isley and Katrina Blair.
The goal of the project is to inspire and motivate people to be better individuals. Visit www.respectfulrevolution.org for more information.
Rising Appalachia plays ACT on Wednesday
Rising Appalachia, a gypsy-roots band led by sisters Leah and Chloe Smith, will play a concert at 9 p.m. Wednesday at the Animas City Theatre, 128 E. College Drive.
Based between southern Appalachia and New Orleans, the sisters work with several of musicians, and the band incorporates an array of instruments and sounds – from banjos and fiddles to spoons, trumpets, digeridoos and washboards. The result is a wide-ranging mix of folk, world, jazz and soul music.
Durango band Hello Dollface will open the show. Tickets for the Durango Massive presentation starts at $17 and are available at Southwest Sound and online. Visit www.animascitytheatre.com for more information.
