What's included

55 mins in-class hours per weekClass Experience
Each week in this ongoing team building class learners will be presented with a problem or project to tackle together. Within the class time learners will have to discuss, compromise and critically think in order to create a solution or complete a task. In doing so learners will develop important team building skills as well as personal skills in problem solving, communicating ideas and understanding another's perspective. Themes: Week of Jan 28: What is art? Learners are to submit their idea for one piece of art that should be included in a new world art museum - they must justify their choice and describe why it should be included. Week of Feb 4: The magic stone: Learners are the towns people with a magical secret. When a newcomer steals the one thing that keeps them safe, how will the negotiate to get it back? Week of Feb 11: Lemon-not Stand: Design a stand like a lemonade stand, but it can't be lemonade! What would work? How creative would you get? How would you price and what is appealing about your idea? Week of Feb 18: Plan a spring Equinox Festival. What needs to be included? Budgeting, planning supplies, activities and attractions will be tackled by the group!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi There!
I am a passionate theatre educator, currently working as a theatre director, stage manager and online instructor here on Outschool!
I have my Bachelors degree in Theatre and my Masters degree in Drama Education.
I have worked in a variety of amazing and interesting jobs including touring as the assistant stage manager with a theatre company across Switzerland! For 3 years I was the Theatre Department director of a high school, teaching all the theatre courses and directing the plays, musicals and summer camp shows. I also have spent time working for children's theatre companies as an outreach director for underserved schools. For the past few years though I have found a love for teaching about the wonderful world of theatre, online. I love working with young people in theatre and helping them find their creative voice.
My courses range from fun deep dives into favorite musicals, to readers theatre clubs.
All of my classes are inclusive, fun and have a "we are all family" feel. Everyone is welcome, everyone's thoughts matter, and I invite each learner to bring their passions and authentic selves to my online classroom. My goal is to always create a space of belonging for everyone who enrolls.
Policies*
Late arrival/missed classes/recordings:
Classes with 2+ students enrolled:
Once at least one student has arrived in the classroom I will begin class. In the event that no students enter the classroom I will wait 10 minutes before closing the classroom. Please let me know if you are running late so I know to wait longer for you! If a student misses a class that ran with multiple students you can always reach out to request the video recording. Please request this via message to me. The "request recording" button does not actually go to the teachers, so I won't know you requested it.
Please note if you miss 3 ongoing classes in a row, Outschool automatically withdraws you from the class.
Classes with 1 student:
For one-time classes (such as my "working in theatre" or "Musical Theatre Hits" courses) I will sometimes run a class even with just 1 student. For these classes I will wait 10 minutes and then will close the classroom if the student does not arrive. No class will be recorded. Please let me know if you are running late so I know to wait longer if needed! If you miss a class that had only your student enrolled I cannot accommodate transfers.
