One of the most important tasks I have as a theatre educator is to generate each student's energy and enthusiasm for this art form. Because of my love for this art form, I hope to inspire them to generate equal excitement in their own work. The study of theatre should be enjoyable and rigorous. The task of instilling in students the desire to excel and do superior work is challenging yet fulfilling. In the courses that I teach, my goal is to engage the students in the material.
Individualized attention leads to participation on the part of each student.
The nature of the discipline is interactive and I try to create projects and assignments, which encourage collaborative learning. I also try to address the particular learning and communication style of each student. For the beginning student, I offer the opportunity for one on one discussion and evaluation in the context of advisement and personal evaluation. I also incorporate multimedia, Internet access and class performance as diverse pedagogical approaches to theatre arts training. In this, I reach them through various modes of communication.
