Teaching Artist Legacy Statement
I believe that people engage, learn and retain curricula, when they participate in it. As a theater artist, I have developed dozens of strategies to help students mobilize, personify and act out the curriculum. They become part of it, gain ownership of it, and remember it. I do this in an organized fashion using structured games and plans that are designed specifically for each residency group. With so many lessons I wrote "Learning on their Feet, A Sourcebook for Kinesthetic Learning Across the Curriculum K-8". A glorious side effect: Working together promotes individual self-esteem and group cooperation.

Description
Using thoughtful games and activities, students work together to create something to present. The goal may explore word meanings, such as kindness, courage or gratitude. It may be improvising cooperation scenes or exploring growth mindset concepts. It could be designed to fit your needs. Arts infused residencies, where students work together to help everyone shine, always have social emotional benefits.
