Meet Your Leaders

Sarah Foster

Sarah loves encountering and connecting new people, places, and ideas around the world, and she is thrilled to be leading her seventh Windsor Mountain travel program this summer. Sarah graduated from Brown University with a degree in literature with honors in creative writing in 2001, and from the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre in 2002. Since then, she has been teaching, performing, and traveling. She toured with a mask and puppet show across the United States in 2003, and then moved to Portland, Oregon, where she teaches physical theatre, playwriting and stilt walking all over town and, as Co-Artistic Director of the Nomadic Theatre Co, creates original shows and performs them around the Pacific Northwest. Sarah is an active member of Clowns Without Borders-USA, through which she has traveled several times to Haiti and to Southern Africa. Besides traveling and theatre, some of Sarah’s other favorite things in the world include biking around Portland, playing the trombone, ice cream, partner acrobatics, and jumping in the ocean. (New England Traveling Theatre `02 and `03, European Traveling Theatre `04 and `05, California Traveling Theater `06, Bridge Southern Africa `07).

Thatcher Glode

Thatcher currently lives in Jackson, Wyoming where he is a youth counselor in a group home for high school students. After growing up in the beautiful mountains of Colorado, Thatcher attended Colorado College in Colorado Springs. During his junior year he had the amazing opportunity to study abroad on Semester at Sea, visiting 16 different countries (including South Africa) over a span of 8 months. It was on this program that Thatcher fell in love with travel and education. He had the chance to hear Castro speak in Cuba, go on a safari in Tanzania, visit the Taj Mahal in India, and climb Mt. Fuji in Japan. This program has forever impacted Thatcher's life and greatly opened his eyes to the vast world around him. Thatcher is writing this biography from an internet cafe in Prague after visiting several countries in Europe and eagerly looking forward to leading Bridge South Africa 2009. When not traveling or working, Thatcher can be found fly-fishing the Snake River under the Tetons in Jackson, or skiing in the back country on Teton Pass. (Bridge Hawaii ’06 and ’07, Bridge South Africa ’08).
