ParaTheatrical ReSearch; Antero Alli, dir.

RITUAL-BASED PHYSICAL THEATRE
in training and performance
~ Portland, Oregon ~

We train and perform within a medium of Paratheatre that combines
methods of physical theatre & dance, vocalization, and meditation to
access and express the internal landscape of autonomous forces in
the Body. This work occurs in an asocial climate that supports
a group unity honoring individual integrity and autonomy.
Those reaching proficiency in this medium may be invited
to join us in our next intermedia performance ritual.

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 existence. We don't do social, political, or morality issues
or conventional stage plays. We aim to incite visceral and spiritual resonances
in the audience as a more direct stimulus to the Poetic Imagination.
- Antero Alli, artistic director.
