Towson Theatre MFA "The Towson MFA program is unlike any others in that it trains the total theatre artist/scholar. Every year, a small and dedicated group is hand selected to embark on a rigorous three-year journey that nurtures each member's individual--and often idiosyncratic--artistic vision. The curriculum is designed for the artist who is not content working within a single discipline. Students work with faculty and guest artists in a diverse range of disciplines, styles and techniques. In most cases, this informs the students' work, as they create projects both on their own and in collaboration with one another. Indeed, there is a tremendous amount of cross-pollination of ideas, forms, and approaches between the students, faculty, and guest artists. " |

WordBRIDGE is a communal, creative environment where the gifted playwright can benefit from the artistic fusion of professional directors, actors, dramaturgs and other theatre specialists and observers. The goal of WordBRIDGE is to validate these gifted playwrights' promise and perspectives and to empower them to achieve their next level of craftsmanship through collaboration with seasoned, critical and compassionate professionals." |

Rinde Eckert "[Rinde has] been trying to build a theatrical logic that is fiercely interdisciplinary - a theater that accepts various modalities of meaning and feeling without subordinating one to the other. As a result, [Rinde's] work is a series of transpositions among literal statement, abstract figuration, sentiment and intellect. Although [Rinde] often use narrative as initiatory to some essentially poetic elaboration of its themes, the narrative can take a more conventional linear form or disappear entirely. [Rinde is] trying to create a dynamic moment, not a literary or historical reference. [Rinde is] intrigued by the natural and the mechanical, emotions of operatic size and those that are subtle, intellectual abstractions, science, religion, ritual, metaphor, allegory, noise, melody and silence." |
