Megan Campisi Strand: Drama Theater R101 Documentary Theater: Giving Voice to Those Who Have None Sharing untold stories is one of theater’s most important jobs. We look at how theater has been used to share stories and points of view that have been forgotten, silenced, or ignored, and then use active exercises to develop our own pieces using interviews and found text that combine art with social change. David Collett / Ben Paulson Strand: Technology M178 Assessment 2.0 Assessment, while essential, can be frustrating for students and teachers. Assessment 2.0 aims to address these concerns by showing interactive ways to use formative and summative assessment to enhance and engage student learning while also making your life easier. This workshop will explore the development of efficient 21st century assessment practices featuring some easy tips and tools you can use on Monday. Sarah Dapueto / Sally Allnut Strand:Visual Arts M173 iBrush, iCreate, Integrating Technology in the Art Room Integrating the creative process and enhancing student learning through efficient and effective use of available technologies. Students create on the iPad, use Macbooks and digital cameras as tools to plan and create artworks. Students also become more engaged in documenting and reflecting on their work in a meaningful and ongoing manner. Leanne Erickson Strand: Physical Education Dance Studio H041 You Can Teach Dance! This is a practical workshop for teachers who teach dance but may not consider themselves dancers or dance teachers. We will create a supportive environment for creativity to take form. Structuring a class, inspiring your students to move, teaching the elements of dance composition as well as ideas for music, choreography assignments, and student work examples will be part of this workshop. David Gran Strand:Visual Arts R401 Introduction to Animation Animation is still a relatively young art form, and yet it is one that both dominates popular culture and has entered the world of contemporary art. This workshop will offer both a short history of the medium and a hands on investigation of a few different techniques for basic animation principles for classroom use. Christopher Kiver Strand: Music M250 CSI: Choral Score Investigation – Helping Singers Use the Evidence on the Page The rehearsal process can become mechanical and repetitive for singers and conductors alike when the only priority is ensuring correct pitches and rhythms. Mono-directional instruction, from conductor to singer, results in disengaged and somewhat uninformed singers. This session will offer ways to empower singers to think critically and use the evidence they see on the page to become informed, expressive, self-sufficient musicians.
