Teachers! As our education department grows, we're excited to impart some basic theatre skills that can boost a classroom experience at any grade level (or even in the office!) At TCT, our teaching artists are passionate about innovative interpersonal communication and learning through "MIND, BODY & VOICE!" Join TCT Director of Education and Outreach Katelyn Cornelius (read more about Katelyn below!) May 27 for Theatre Arts in the Classroom, part of Art of PLAY: TCT's Workshop Series for Adults.
MAY 27: Art of PLAY: Theatre Arts in the Classroom
TCT Director of Education & Outreach Katelyn Cornelius will teach the principles of “mind, body & voice,” and ways in which the arts can work with Ohio education standards and core curriculum.
Katelyn was bit by the “teaching bug” during her time pursing her Bachelor’s Degree in Theater Arts at Cleveland State University. As a teacher’s assistant she began to develop her own series Augusto Boal’s Theater of the Oppressed workshops, which she still uses today. After graduation, while working as a professional actor in the Cleveland area, Katelyn taught theater classes and directed quarterly performances for the East Cleveland Adult Activities Center. This transitioned her into the Great Lakes Actor Teacher Program. For four years she toured North East Ohio, working with grades K through 12 bringing literature to life ranging from classic children’s stories to Shakespeare. As the Director of Education and Outreach for Talespinner Children’s Theater, Katelyn has had to opportunity to not only share her experience in the preschool through high school classrooms, but has greatly enjoyed developing a Professional Development Series, as well as honing her directing skills on TCT’s Mainstage and with the touring production.
