In 2006, the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts commissioned Hans-Joachim Roedelius to create an original work inspired by Happy Valley -- a place of great beauty and rich history. The arrangement included his visiting the Center to install the work and the presentation of a live performance. It was also agreed that the work and his visit would be documented and would be released as a DVD, featuring a montage of images of Happy Valley, historical photos, Beatrice Wood's work and her collection of Indian art to accompany it.
"Wonderful," Roedelius said, when presented with the idea. "It will be our first collaboration."
