Robert Barry Fleming, Abbott Fellow | Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation

My fellowship experience was nothing short of extraordinary. While there were, indeed, specific musical and arena-style directorial techniques I acquired in the course of the process too numerous to remark upon in this brief report, I truly believe the greatest value of the fellowship had everything to do with my interaction with Artistic Director, Molly Smith.
