Peter Martens talks with School of Theatre & Dance Director Mark Charney about two established summer programs, the WildWind Performance Lab and the Marfa Intensive. WildWind immerses students in a non-traditional and process-oriented developmental laboratory, experimenting with all facets of the theatrical process, while concentrating on networking, play development, and contemporary design and performance methodologies. Marfa Intensives take students and guest artists to Marfa, Texas for an unforgettable 10-day devised theatre intensive, immersing themselves in the community while engaging with the world-renowned art installations to create a performance inspired by their experience.
