(1999; 80 min.)

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)

re: THE DVD ITSELF
These dvds are copies from our own original masters; the dvd package you receive is also not shrink-wrapped. The actual disc is recorded in "dvd-r" format, rather than the pro-dvd format (such as can be rented and purchased at outlets like Blockbusters and NetFlix). The dvd-r format will play on most computers and most dvd players but not all of them. If our dvd does not play on your player, we will refund your payment in full upon receipt of the returned dvd. We are a very small, artist-run company that duplicates very small runs of our films. When we are ready to duplicate 100+ runs of each title, we will switch over to shrink-wrapped, labeled and pro-dvd format.
