T D 351F TEACH ARTISTS IN SCHOOLS & COMMUNITIES          DOSSETT, LARA

Do you want hands-on experience developing, facilitating, and assessing a workshop session with young people at a museum, community-based or school location?
Do you want to a chance to dig into the ways that practitioners work at the intersection of the arts and education in a range of learning contexts?
Do you want to consider how context shapes the arts in education and society?

Then, come learn about how to be a teaching artist in the Teaching Artists in Schools and Communities --a dynamic course offered by the Theatre and Dance Dept. This practical, interdisciplinary course will explore how to use the arts to educate in arts and non-arts settings (professional arts organizations, after-school programs, schools, museums, and community sites) in local and global contexts. As teaching artists, we will consider the role of intentionality, artistic perspective, quality, assessment, and praxis (the relationship of action/reflection) in our work. Our discussions will be framed through dialogue with local, national and global teaching artists and by a practical residency experience in a museum or school location. The course ends with professional projects designed to synthesize our learning and new understanding through a creative response or a teaching artist portfolio/website.

Students will watch each other rehearse and together we will examine best practices in rehearsal such as: making bold choices that are inventive, uniquely your own and serve the needs of the play as well as the vision of the director, bringing your full collaborative self into rehearsal, building one’s character, taking notes and overall preparation for performance.

This class explores the artistic aspects of scenic design in theory and in practice. It stresses how the design process is inspired by the seminal dramaturgy and how scenic design is only part of the larger creative process called theatre-making. Through the use of drafting, model-making, research boards and line/color sketching, the class presents the student with the tools utilized by the scenic designer to communicate with the rest of the creative team. The class projects will range from applied principles of design and composition, to the development of scenic designs for one-location plays and culminates in a final project designed to showcase your mastery of spatial composition, and the compilation of a basic portfolio of scenic design.
