Arts-rich learning experiences allow humans to be present and active in the mutual sharing of information and resources. As an arts educator, I utilize creative drama, storytelling, and theatre practices to create original works that can be inspired by literature, poems, a specific core content, or a social issue that a class community would like to explore through devised theatre. From celebrating the imagination to youth theatre creations, I can craft meaningful dramatic experiences students and community members would like to explore. My workshops will engage all learners and support student learning.
