Drama Institute for Theatre and Classroom EducatorsDrama Institute workshops are led by experts in current practices and philosophies of theatre and arts education, endorsed by academic departments at UW-Madison, and address Teacher Standards and professional development requirements for educators. While providing specific tools that allow the educator to face challenges in the classroom and rehearsal process, each class directly focuses on the ability to collaborate with peers and education professionals and provides evidence of activities related to goals that apply to classrooms or learning communities.
Features of the Drama Institute:
Production & Design: A Design Sampler
Join other directors, designers and theatre educators for an intensive one week workshop where participants will receive concentrated instruction detailing all design areas of theatre production. This “design sampler” includes the basic elements of designing lights, sound, costume and set with an overview of production management. Information will be gathered on participant’s backgrounds, skill levels and professional/volunteer situations prior to the start of the workshop in order to tailor course curriculum and activities to participant’s individual learning needs. This week is a must for all high school directors and community designers!
David Stewart is a member of the UW Madison staff and heads the production arm of the University Theatre. He is also chair of the stage and production management programs. Previously, David has served as production stage manager for Buffalo, NY Studio Arena Theatre, St. Louis, MO MUNY theatre, Kansas City, MO Starlight Outdoor Musicals, Sullivan, IL The Little Theatre on the Square & Vienna Austrias English Theatre.
