A joy to teach an array of guest workshops LIVE again in Kansas, Virginia, Texas, New Jersey and Alabama in early 2022. The wild crew from Montclair State University here.
Zipping around the country both virtually and now LIVE again as well! Loved working with aspiring high school drama students at the Kansas Thespian Festival, Pennsylvania Festival, N.J. Thespian Festival, and Virginia Thespian Festival.
After 1 1/2 years of zoom teaching around the country as a guest artist , it was a shock to be back in the classroom in a live residency at Bucknell University. We were masked and ready to go. Worked with the film and TV production students. A sharp group!
Rolling out virtual workshops, both live zoom and prerecorded, to colleges, high schools and thespian festivals nationwide.
Led a delightful zoom workshop for Whittier College on "Performing Non-Fiction." The students were in the midst of researching, writing, and performing their own short pieces on public figures, so they were full of questions about the process. Kudos to their creative professor, Jennifer Sage Holmes, for assigning the adventure!
January has been a rolicking month working with young actors around the country: after NJ Thespians, I dove into leading workshops (monologue intensives, acting for singers, cold reading and hidden impulses, a writing workshop) with PA Thespians, MO Thespians and TN Thespians. The students' openheartedness was striking -- reaffirming that collaboration, not competition, is the key to artistic growth.
Wrapping up the month teaching On-Camera Acting in a three-day residency at Bucknell University. The newly formed Teaching Artist Alliance has gathered a group of teaching artists with a variety of offerings and years of experience. Delighted to join them.
Contact elaine@teachingartistalliance.com Leading a "Mining the Hidden Impulses" writing workshop at the EdTA National Conference in NYC in September -- the group's brainstorming was fantastic, forging ever-new ways to fit the workshop to the various needs of a classroom. Ideas were bouncing off the walls!
Offering a workshop at the Educational Theatre Association's 2019 National Conference in NYC in September -- "Mining the Hidden Impulses" -- a writing workshop for educators. Honored (and tickled) to be heading their poster this year!
