Trio Track provides participants a daily multidisciplinary experience in three distinct arts areas. Each day Trio Track participants will attend pre-designated classes in music, theatre and dance, and visual art. Participants will attend the same core class in each content area for the entire week, allowing complete immersion in one topic for each arts discipline. In addition to the Trio Track sessions, all participants attend performances, musings, interludes, and special events, with plenty of time built in for networking and reflection.
