Producing Indie Theatre from Head to Tail: A Case Study
Length 90 minutes . Created in collaboration with DaMonique Ballou
Description: Through two productions, 2Plays2Days and Mud, Camille Simone Thomas and DaMonique Ballou created, engaged, and educated audiences about bipolar disorder. Using their experiences as case studies, this workshop intends to support arts-educators and theater-makers looking to develop audience experience, create healthy working communities, and articulate their own artistic philosophy. Participants will walk away having first articulated the aspects of theatre/ the creative process they are disillusioned with and what their dream collaborative process looks like.
Essentially, these discussions ask participants: (1) How do we usetheaterto create, engage, and educate a community about a particular topic or social justice issue? How do we produce performances that prioritize both a healthy process ofmakingtheater and a successful performance?

Classroom Management
Length: 2 hours (can be adjusted)
Description: This classroom management workshop will equip teaching artists with practical relationship-building and classroom management skills. Participants will master setting clear expectations in classrooms for both classroom teachers and students, learn how to build reciprocal relationships and manage student expectations, and learn how to build trust with students. They will learn the A.S.K. method for engaging students and then use theatrical skills to roleplay, utilising the A.S.K. tool. Finally, participants will engage in a closing conversation where we will share our knowledge of what has helped us most in our teaching artist practice and where we still hope to grow.
