Class Experience

No experience necessary except for the love making up stories and acting them out!  Students will through discussion make up a story.  We will do a round robin style where each student will add on their own sentence to continue the story and act it out, create costumes in their free time, and finally perform their story.  This is an interactive class where they will interact with the teacher and their fellows classmates.  The teacher will help to facilitate the idea, the characters and the setting of the story they want to create.  Students will come up with the details and act out the story.  
Week 1:  Make up the story as a group.  Teacher types it on the whiteboard shared screen and puts the finished copy on the class page for everyone to see and act it out. 
Week 2:  Act it out as a group/Dress rehearsal 
Week 3:  Performance

Learning Goals

Students will improve their simple story telling abilities, and learn how to use themselves as the instrument to tell the story.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Students!
My name is Christina.  I am half Spanish and half American.  I live in Los Angeles.  I grew up traveling the world.  I lived in Germany for 6 years as a child.  I speak Spanish.  I am a former pre-school and elementary school teacher with over 10 years experience who taught in the US, Spain and England. 

My teaching philosophy is based in the Reggio Emilia approach, which is an educational philosophy and pedagogy focusing on student-centered and constructivist self-guided curriculum that uses self-directed, experiential learning in relationship-driven environments.   Reggio Emilia approach is based on the principles of respect, responsibility and community through exploration, discovery and play.

I love teaching.  The things I love teaching the most are making up a story and acting it out, how to speak in a British accent, play acting in a British accent, and moving and acting to music, as well as Spanish and Shakespeare.  

I am an actress in LA.   In LA, have been on network TV shows such as Good Trouble, American Housewife, Transparent and Criminal Minds. In London, I have extensive professional theatre experience.  I performed in many Shakespearean plays such as The Merry Wives of Windsor, Macbeth, The Winter’s Tale, As You Like It, A Midsummer’s Night Dream, to name a few as well as several Oscar Wilde plays, Restoration plays such as The Country Wife, and contemporary plays such as The Shape of Things and Three Birds Alighting on a Field along many others. 

I have my teacher's certification for pre-school and elementary school with an ESL endorsement.  I also have a double BA in English Literature and Anthropology from the University of Virginia.  I graduated from Drama Studio London, in the UK where I was awarded the Peter Howitt scholarship.  I also attended RADA in London.  

I love to instill confidence, leadership, community, creativity and fun in all of my classes.  Learn with me and we will have fun and you will learn skills that you will remember forever.  My fluffy cat Bongo might join us too!
