HUMAN NATURE DANCE THEATER is a performance collaborative, using dance, music and word to express the deepest elements of the human experience. This is the fifteenth year that the avant-garde theater experience graced the Colly Soleri Amphitheater with their dynamic presence.
The group comes from Flagstaff, for an annual one-week workshop that culmunates into a public performance on Saturday evening.

[from Human Nature web-site] Human Nature has a unique collaborative process. Each member of the group has equal say, forcing us to quickly enter deep water and become completely vulnerable with one another. Each year at Arcosanti we work with a theme that our improvisations revolve around. This year our performance comes during the Dark Moon; therefore it deals with Night and what keeps us from sleep. We travel through the spectrum of human experience from the archaic to the contemporary world.

This years collaboration "STILL LATE AND AWAKE" was a thoughtful collection of skits with, as always, seamless and passionate performances. The performers this year were Paul Moore, Delisa Myles, Jayne Lee, Francis Martineau, Nathan Montgomery, Will Duncan and Megan Buchanan.
