DRAMATIC ADVENTURE THEATRE: Teaching Artist Residency

...

TEACHING ARTIST RESIDENCY
The Teaching Artist Residency is a program of intense teaching, language learning, and cultural immersion. Our carefully selected teaching artists are embedded into communities and classrooms in need. There they will make new friends, engage with the culture, study the local language, and bring their own unique talents and skill sets to the classroom. Our teaching artists will lead courses in acting, directing, playwriting, and more.

Rich in young raw talent and overwhelming enthusiasm, but poor in resources, our partner communities and schools will welcome you with open arms. This program is a much needed aid and an incredible boost to our partner's efforts to provide a meaningful arts education. Dramatic Adventure Theatre's Teaching Artist Residency is an opportunity to grow as a teaching artist and make a lasting impact on the lives of young people... and their futures as artists!

UPCOMING RESIDENCIES

The Quilotoa Residency
May 22 - June 28, 2012

This five week residency will send a team of teaching artists to reside in the Quechuan village of Quilotoa, Ecuador. There they will teach theatre and English with our partner middle school nestled high in the Andes mountains. This school, and those surrounding it, have little to no arts education available for their students and the English is taught from outdated books. With this residency, Dramatic Adventure Theatre will help fill that educational gap by providing a month of intense theatre and English training, voluntarily taught by qualified and highly creative theatre artists.

The Stará Ľubovňa Winter Residency
December 27, 2012 - January 16, 2013

This three week residency will send a team of teaching artists to reside in Stará Ľubovňa, a small village in Eastern Slovakia surrounded by breathtaking mountains and medieval castles. There, in collaboration with our partners at ETP Slovensko, these artists will teach theatre to a wide range of Roma youth in the community. With this residency, Dramatic Adventure Theatre will aid in ETP's initiative and help strengthen the Roma voice by providing two weeks of intense theatre training, voluntarily taught by qualified and highly creative theatre artists.
