Arcosanti.

Arcosanti, an experimental architectural community/construction site. Cordes Junction, AZ: www.arcosanti.org. Went there to help put on a performance Oct. 3 with the incomparable Human Nature Dance Theater company. Went really well, three new people in the group who seamlessly incorporated. I mostly did the set, making some wings out of thin strips of hardwood and muslin fabric. If they look slighly bat-like, it's because bats are the only large species (i.e. not insect) that has membrane wings. I found that out of necessity of designing with cloth I would have to cut the points between the frames in a caternary curve: which nature already figured out with the bat.

Photos of the set and performance can be seen at:
