We accepted a generous invitation to travel back to Austria to reconnect with the Makel School. We performed at events in conjunction with screenings of Vom Charme Des Makels, a documentary project of Franz Palank and Gerhard Aba, directed by Gerald Teufel, that was first aired for Viennese television audiences (channel Bayern Alpha) November, 2005. Since technical issues with aerial rigging have temporarily suspended development of Lucid, Lisa Bufano and E. Stephen Frederick presented Forming Fancy to Vienna and Linz audiences.
