6/9 - In the room: Mark Russell, producer of the Under the Radar Festival, in residence at the Public Theatre since 2006. Mark has a long history of supporting non-traditional theater forms, including 21 years as the executive artistic director of Performance Space 122, a staple of the East Village arts scene. He created Under the Radar in 2004 as a festival and a professional symposium focused on contemporary theater that investigates the nature of the theater experience and contextualizes it for today's audience. What drives his esthetic and fuels his artistic decisions? Who is his audience? And how does he gauge the success of a production?
