We are not an established theatre or dance company nor are we a social club or a tribal entity or a commercial enterprise or a religious cult (nor am I a "guru"). We are more like a rotating skeleton crew of actors, dancers, martial artists, singers, yoginis, ritualists, musicians, and social outcasts (performers and non-performers alike) sharing strong resonance with the core values of self-accountability, integrity, and autonomy in our varied fields. Though no formal 'paratheatre dogma' exists, we do operate within specific guidelines that help contain the physically rigorous and emotionally charged dynamics of this work. Participation in all ParaTheatrical ReSearch Labs is by interview and/or invitation. -- Antero Alli, director
