1981, 1982, 1983: Inspired in part by the Black Hills Conference, In the Heart of the Beast Theatre (HOBT) devotes 3 years of work focused on Water in response to the growing degradation of the Mississippi River, and the proliferation of nuclear power plants in close proximity to water sources. Spieler and the core members of HOBT (Marg Rozycki, Jim Ouray , Esther Ouray, Karen Esbjornson, Lucinda Anderson, Nanci Olesen , Steve Epp, Bob Hughes, Steve Sandberg) build small shows (“Oh River”, “Round About Water Tale”), bigger shows (“Life of HOH”), residencies and parades about water (including 2 Maydays).
