Applied Theatre Workshop Intensive

My extensive background as an Applied Theatre facilitator makes me the ideal candidate for helping your organization shape community engaged programming. I would be thrilled to visit your company, department, or school and share some of my knowledge. During this workshop, we will discuss and practice creating ethical work that suits the needs of your participants while considering the joys and obstacles of community engaged work. Contact me for a sample itinerary and to discuss how I can best serve your needs.

Black American History & Performance

This course is my favorite to teach. I love engaging with historical accounts of Black American life while reading classic and contemporary testaments to this rich culture that has shaped America. Guided by artists such as James Baldwin, Ntozake Shange, and Beyoncé Knowles, students will engage with plays, poetry, and music at a challenging level. Sample syllabus available on request.

Criticizing Television

In this media studies course, students will learn to analyze and engage with television in order to better understand its societal representations. We begin with a crash course in a history of American TV and a behind-the-scenes glimpse into production, followed by a packed syllabus full of binge-worthy shows! From Breaking Bad to Insecure, students read complex literature that accompanies what they're watching while completing short writing assignments that culminate in a portfolio. Syllabus available on request.
