My Students

"Great theater is about challenging how we think and encouraging us to fantasize about a world we aspire to." - William Dafoe

My students are difficult to sum up.

They are diverse and quirky. My theater class alone has students from fifteen different national backgrounds and a wide range of socioeconomic circumstances. They have a wide range of interests. Some of them came to theater because they're interested in Broadway musicals. Others, because they're intrigued by Kabuki. Some have immense stage fright and want to do nothing more than write plays day in and day out and others thrive at being the center of attention. What they all have in common is that they are intensely thoughtful, creative, critical thinkers who are passionate about theater and excited by the idea of approaching it from an academic angle as well as from an artistic one. They have a thirst for knowledge that is contagious and as their teacher, I am trying to satiate!

My Project

Because it is appropriate for my students and our school culture, our theater class is about much more than acting silly or improvisation (although there is plenty of that too!) One of the learning objectives of our course is to engage in theater research so that students understand the political and social context of the texts they are reading and the historical relevancy of the acting, design and writing traditions that they are applying as artists. We will be using the Chromebooks as research tools in class so that students can access databases, videos and images that will support them in understanding these concepts better. Each term the students engage in a research project in which they investigate a different world theater tradition and then apply it to a piece of theater text. Functioning, reliable computers will make this process efficient and rewarding!

My students are eager to learn, but our current technology limits the ways and depth in which they are able to do so.

The addition of Chromebooks to our classroom will give my students access to materials that will enrich their understanding of a topic that they are universally passionate about. This understanding will heighten their understanding of global theater traditions and assist them in finding nuances in their own performances.
