2004
The main project for the year 2004 was to organize and execute two long research workshops. The main themes of these workshop were Dream and Time. In the Spring workshop we approached these themes from the point of view of Butoh, Zen Theatre, Martin Heidegger, Stand Up tragedy, Ulman’s Dream circle Method. In the autumn we used Hypnosis, Zen Action, Trance Masks, Deborah Hey. Both workshops resulted two unique performances (Stone and the Turle and You Must Imagine the Medusas Here). And lots of other performances were greatly inspired by these workshop or continued from where the workshop ended (Beoyond the Red Room, Helsinki by Night, Dreaming).

2003
In 2003 we started Finland Project (Suomi-projekti) to study the state of the nation in a series of performances. What are our greatest fears? What are our greatest dreams? the project is a kind of geographical-sociological-ethical case study about this time and space we are living in. At the same time it tries to open possibilities for wider participation and interaction between theatre and the local community. The project also offers training for the artists and theatres involved.

2002
In 2002 RRC produced five performances based on the lectures written by Italian author Italo Calvino (published as Six memos for the next millenium). Each performance was inspired by one of the lectures, dealing with a different virtue: lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, multiplicity and consistency. Where Italo Calvino examined these virtues in literature, we examined them in performing arts.
Calvino I - Lightness: , For they do not know what they are doing
Calvino II - Quickness: The World’s Fastest Machine
Calvino III - Exactitude: Zeckett – of being and waiting
Calvino IV - Visibility: Visible
Calvino V - Multiplicity: L´amour absolu – cosmosonates Calvino x 5 seminar
2001
A number of very distinct productions were completed in 2001, which highlighted the heterogeneous nature of the group, it's different aesthetic and philosophical preferences. The group searched for an operational framework in which artists could both maintain their own identity and work for a shared whole.
