THEA 201 The Teaching Artist



2 credits 45.0 hours
200 level undergraduate course

This class is designed to introduce the student to the field of teaching artistry. The goal of
this class is to give the student a sense of who teaching artists are, what they do and why they
do it and how the student’s work as a Theatre Major can be translated into the classroom. The
student will discover the TA work being done through many different venues both locally and
nationally, build a personal repertoire of theater games, learn how to create and lead their
own activities and develop their own lesson plan. This class will also include a look at the
history of the field and some education methodology (the science and philosophy behind
the fun) as it pertains to learning in and through the arts.
