RITUAL-BASED PHYSICAL THEATRE
in training and performance
~ Portland, Oregon ~
This website documents a medium of Paratheatre developed by Antero Alli
that
combines
methods of physical theatre, vocalization, and meditation to
access
and
express the
internal
landscape. The training process
occurs
in
a
non-performance oriented
asocial climate
honoring
individual
integrity
and
autonomy.
Those
naturally
inclined
to this paratheatrical work
may
be
invited
to
join us in our next intermedia performance ritual.
Antero Alli, Artistic director
(since 1977)

MISSION STATEMENT
ParaTheatrical ReSearch PDX is an intermedia physical theatre group
combining spontaneous ritual dynamics, vocal incantations, improvised and
composed music & songs, film, and spoken poetry to explore the metaphysical
dimensions of human experience. We don't do social, political, or morality
issues or conventional stage plays. We aim to incite strong visceral and
spiritual resonances for arousing the Poetic Imagination
from its deep cultural slumber. - Antero Alli
