There are many ways to engage dynamically with a community to give voice to its members, whether in a drama classroom or an applied theatre setting. This course will explore how we -- as teachers, teaching artists, university students, recreational leaders, language and speech arts specialists, theatre directors, actors, integrated arts educators, and community leaders – can implement best practices in facilitation and outreach in any given community. How does one establish equity, transparent communication, and collaborative exchange? What skills do teaching artists need?
In Ireland, the arts are woven into the fabric of the community. And in this course, students will work with Ireland’s finest drama practitioners and theatre artists, who have affiliations with organizations such as the Abbey Theatre, SoloSIRENS, Tallaght Community Arts, and The Ark. Together, through their expertise and enthusiasm, we will investigate creative skills in storytelling, devising, and playwriting, along with approaches to using dramatic activities to create a context for theatre work.
