To celebrate the reactivation of Ballroom’s latest commission, Haroon Mirza’s stone circle, Ballroom presented a very special program at the Crowley Theater.

First we screened PASSAGE, a short film by artist and co-founder of the CineMarfa film festival, Jennifer Lane, which documents megaliths across the Iberian Peninsula. The screening was followed by a short talk on West Texas petroforms – human-formed shapes made by lining up rocks into patterns on open ground – by William A. Cloud, Director of the Center for Big Bend Studies. This was followed by a conversation between filmmaker, archeologist, Ballroom’s director, and the public. The evening culminated in a full moon activation of the stone circle.
