We complete our conversation with the innovative Philadelphia director, teacher and dramaturg Mark Lord.

In this episode we touch on many of Mark's productions that he staged with the Philly performance groups Potlatch, Big House and Headlong Dance Theatre.

The cover art from this episode is a photograph from a work called Pink Melon Joy, staged in 1992, which Mark discusses in this episode.

He also talks about his collaboration with the late designer Hiroshi Iwasaki, and about some of the many students he had the privilege to teach during his years at Bryn Mawr College.

To see images of the plays and people we discussed in our two-part interview with Mark, there is a blog post on our website, here: https://www.aithpodcast.com/blog/begin-again-and-again/
