Eleven perfomers undergo a paratheatre training process with Antero and offer up the results in a public performance ritual in this lively docudrama exploring initiatic experience and the creation of rituals that triggered them. Includes a series of candid conversations between Alli and two of the performers (Paradox Pollack and Nick Walker) who attempt to come to terms with what happened to them. (B/W, mini-dv)

"CRUX"
(1999; 80 min.)
Nick Walker (above). Click images for production details.
Seven non-performers use paratheatre techniques to expose what they are living for and give expression to non-secular versions of the crucifixion archetype in this collective journey scripted and narrated by Antero and the participants themselves. The CRUX lab ran five weeks in the summer of 1999 for three times a week at four hours per session. (Color and B/W; digital 8 video)

A demonstration and explanation of the nuts and bolts of Alli's ritual technology for Self-initiation as enacted by a group of complete novices who randomly responded to a poster on the streets of Seattle in 1991, calling for "marginal men and women to explore how rituals work without dogma". This lab met for three months in the autumn of 1991, three times a week for 3-4 hours per session. (Color and B/W; hi-8 video)
