Integratron: From the Artistic Director

07/11/12

I have teamed up again with architect Matthew Bird, this time collaborating in the Mojave Desert in California. That's right folks, we are a thrill-seeking pair who will go to any lengths to reach the source of our inspiration. First with a recording at the amazing Integratron built by George Van Tassel, one of the leaders in the UFO movement who held annual "Spacecraft Conventions" at Giant Rock for 25 years. 

Tassel designed and built the Integratron, an architecturally unique, and acoustically perfect tabernacle and energy machine, on the site of a powerful geomagnetic vortex in the magical Mojave Desert. During filming on site, we were circled by kids on trail bikes who approached from the horizon doing donuts and spinouts with air rifles in hand. We can't wait for the final abduction in March, when BalletLab premieres the And All Things Return to Nature Tomorrow at the Southbank Theatre Lawler Studio.
