Teaching Artist, part 2


The following post is from Brian Sutow. In addition to being a talented actor and graduate of the UNCSA School of Drama, Brian is a quick study and delves into challenges without trepidation. Brian is pictured here as Wilbur Wright receiving Flying Research from Octave Chanute in Open Dream Ensemble's production of Dream Machines.

Teacher Artist Training is well under way and I'm having a great time and finding myself fascinated by many of the topics we are learning about and discussing. It is interesting to learn about the ways that a creative learning process is beneficial for children (and how it can help activate different parts of their brain). I became an artist in large part because I was interested in creating positive change in the world around me, so it is very satisfying to learn just how enriching a creative approach really is. I am greatly looking forward to the rest of the week. However, I agree with Rose, putting together those lesson plans looks like it's going to be kind of difficult -- eep!
