...worry, said Susan Greenberg, project director for a reference called Peterson's Summer Opportunities for Kids and Teenagers: "There are thousands of choices out there, so focusing on just one is really tunnel vision." One of her favorites, Campus Kids, operates two sleep-away camps in New Jersey and Connecticut from Monday to Friday, so campers can spend weekends at home. It sounded perfect for a mom with separation anxiety, but they had a waiting list for 10-year-old girls...
...doll and then slowly morphed into a profound exploration of the director's own psychoses. Wendy MacNeil and Alice Wingwall gave us their Miss Blindsight: The Wingwall Auditions, a complex documentary about an artist who has lost her sight. These films are just a small sampling of the independent vision that was omnipresent at this festival. Each film felt like a child, like a living form that had been nurtured with love and dedication.

Such arguments turn one of the most profound questions one can ask about theater into a simple power struggle between individuals...
...unique set of experiences based fundamentally in space rather than letters. As such it has a visual language all its own, a language which cannot be notated ahead of time by an author sitting at a desk. The author is the genesis point of a play in Artaud's vision, if a play is to be written ahead of time at all, but the director is the one who turns the script into a piece of theater...
