SITE UPDATE : Approximately mid-June, OrchisArts' main computer was plagued with a virus that rendered the unit useless and we were unable to upload content to the site. After recovering the data 6 months later, we have given the site a little facelift with a new color schematic: dark taupe and gray.

In addition to the above, the following updates have been made:

12-7-03:

• information/ Martin Cooper bio- update under (i) section

• information/ news events/ 2003- update under (ii) section (this page)
• information/ press/ 2003- update under (ii) section
• information/ special projects/ costume- MAJOR UPDATES WITH NEW IMAGES! [under (ii) section]

We will be adding addition content daily to The Altis series. There will be a major renovation of this area of the site with many new images, and for the first time, concept drawings for the Altis series. Please continue to check back from time to time.
