Congratulations to Jennifer Tipton for winning a coveted MacArthur Foundation Fellowship. Her most visible recent work has been with the Wooster Group, but she won the Tony years ago for Jerome Robbins Broadway. She also trained or influenced just about every lighting designer in the theatre today.

Posted: 9/24/08 at 10:34amI do think she is a genius. I think she did a lot more work in the dance field than theater, which is our loss. Her work on "Jerome Robbins' Broadway" was pretty amazing. Congratulations!
