| This round table will examine how elements of theatre training and practice can be applied to pedagogical and teacher training contexts beyond the world of theatre and invite theatre artists in the academy to consider how their own skills and training can be transferred across disciplinary boundaries in education. Participants will be educational developers and faculty members with theatre backgrounds currently developing pedagogical and training workshops, programs, and initiatives that draw on theatre skills. Topics may include using new play dramaturgy techniques in feedback and assessment in written work, stage management as a model for academic service and administration, and improvisation in training teaching assistants and first-time course instructors. The session will begin with five-minute lightning talks from participants based on their current pedagogical work. The second half of the session will consist of a moderated discussion between panelists and audience members who may ask questions or offer insights into these projects. At present, we have three members from an inter-institutional theatre pedagogy working group (UBC, U of T, Brock, TMU, and Concordia) who are interested in participating in this round table. We will also invite three additional participants via an open call circulated to CATR members and the broader instructional design community. We are particularly interested in inviting graduate students and/or early career instructors who may be able to speak to their current and recent experience in pedagogical training and development with respect to theatre and performance training. |
