"Alchemy Lab", Summer 2005; Pinnacles Wilderness CA

a rotating skeleton crew

"ParaTheatrical ReSearch" is not a group of card-carrying members nor a tribal identity or a business or an established theatre company. We are also too rebellious to be a cult (and I am no "guru") yet we do hold ourselves to specific working guidelines. We're more like a rotating skeleton crew of committed individuals who come and go according to our own timing and needs for working together and parting ways until the next ritual lab magnetizes its unique group animal. Autonomy and individual integrity remain core values that define this work. Since 1977, scores of individuals from all walks of life have participated in this work. The individuals pictured below have participated in at least five labs (all labs run at least one or twice a week for six to twelve weeks at a time). -- Antero Alli, director

Nick Walker, Antero Alli, and Sylvi Alli

Adam Palermo, Robin Coomer, and Julian Simeon
