I treasure my time as an educator. Having the opportunity to share my knowledge of theater and the performing arts with the students of the Colorado Springs School was an opportunity to gain mastery and share my passion for story telling. ● Created and executed an experience based curriculum for the Colorado Springs School’s Children’s, Middle, and Upper Schools in consultation with the Head of the Theatre Department. In the Children’s School, guided students through Theatre at Play, a system which uses the theatre as a playground where students learn about physical story telling in a spontaneous, collaborative environment which also prepared the students for more structured work in the Middle and Upper Schools. In the Middle School, challenged students to create using text to build characters, promoted a safe environment in which to work, provided constructive feedback. In the Upper School, taught a collegiate level preparatory acting class, creating a space for advanced students to conceive and execute original work via a Makers Theatre class.
