Arts rich learning experiences provide humans opportunities to be present and active in the mutual sharing of information and resources. As an arts
educator, I utilize creative drama, storytelling, and theatre practices to cre- ate original works that can be inspired by literature, poems, a specific core content, or a social issue that a class community would like to explore in a creative way. From celebrating the imagination to youth theatre explora- tions, I can craft meaningful dramatic experiences you and your community of learners would like to explore. My workshops will engage all learners and support student learning.
