a dance film by Dark Sky Aerial and Sandcast Media
ARCO invites you to dissolve into creativity, where movement transcends thought and art becomes a shared human experience.
More than a performance, it is a meditation on dance as a catalyst for transformation—leaving audiences with a sense of deep interconnectedness and the boundless potential of authentic expression.
Created in collaboration with Sandcast Media, the filmmakers behind our 2022 award-winning dance film OMEN, this project brings us to the striking landscapes and visionary architecture of Arcosanti—an experimental urban laboratory in the high desert of Central Arizona. The surreal beauty of this space has inspired a film that is as much a meditation as it is a performance.
A special thank you to the Arcosanti Foundation for welcoming our vision into your remarkable space. We are also honored to acknowledge the generous support of the Arizona Commission on the Arts, Creative Flagstaff, Firewatch Media, Momentum Aerial, Sandcast Media, and Erin Widman—your collaboration and belief in this work helped bring ARCO to life.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our generous donors for their invaluable support. Caleb Schiff, Catherine Keppler, David Richards, Elisa Venezia, John and Kim Keppler, John and Nancy Lowe, Paula Reynolds, Richard Blackwell, and Van Trust Real Estate LLC—your contributions have made this project possible. We are deeply grateful for your belief in our vision and your commitment to bringing ARCO to life.
