Hi all, Thanks for these ideas about ideas to be immersed inside the IAIA dome. 

The good news is, some of the IAIA students in the IAIA dome classes I have 
been teaching in the past few years have already made some short dome movies 
that capture indigenous stories about ways to view the world.  These stories 
grew from the students making their own stories in the Dome space during 
classes.  

Let’s plan a Friday morning FRIAM get-together at the IAIA Dome sometime in 
September after the next semester gets going.  I’d be glad to setup a Dome Demo 
for FRIAM and arrange to have some coffee and tea available.  I look forward to 
having all of you come see the Dome that Ed and Stephen got put in place a 
decade ago and is now a storytelling place for a wide variety of indigenous 
immersive experiences

Best regards, Ben
