Between 1973 and 2005, Antero wrote and directed numerous experimental theatre works in San Francisco, Boulder CO and Seattle WA. Since 1977, Antero has been developing a group ritual technology combining methods of physical theatre, dance, voice, and Zazen meditation that has been documented in his book,”Towards an Archeology of the Soul” and two videos.

While residing in Seattle WA (1988-95), he acted as editor/publisher of eight-circuitTalking Raven Quarterly, an iconoclastic literary journal distributed free on the Seattle streets. Between 1992 and 2002, Antero curated the Nomad VideoFilm Festival, a popular west coast touring showcase of experimental short films. Since 1995, Alli wrote and directed numerous underground feature films (now available on dvd), which have screened in numerous west coast arthouse cinemas.
