2012-2013 education The Capital Region’s destination for the performing arts.
2012-2013 EDUCATION We understand the concerns you face in making decisions that will enhance your classroom instruction and give your students opportunities to expand their horizons and imaginations. On that note, we wish to share a brief excerpt that further articulates the value of the arts in a global community, where solutions will be found through creativity, ingenuity and imagination. “In times of economic difficulty, the arts, rather than languishing as a discretionary luxury, become more vital to the human condition. Through the arts, we honor our past, celebrate our present and dream of our future. The very best of who we are is inherent in the arts and at the core of the continual reinvigoration of our humanity.” Jo Ann Fallette, Treasuring The Arts In Troubled Times. We are here to work with you so that you may enjoy the facilities and programming that Proctors and Capital Repertory Theatre have to offer. Please contact us at any time to discuss the many opportunities available. Want to learn more? Join us on October 18 for Educator Extravaganza – an evening just for you, complete with workshops, refreshments and more. Treat yourself to an enjoyable occasion while becoming informed about Proctors education programs and sharing your own insights and experiences with teaching professionals like yourself.

OPEN EYE MEDIA Proctors believes that if we can teach our community and its students how to use the tools of communication, we can create better lifelong and late-in-life learners. By doing so, we create an informed, connected community that can better communicate and defend ideas and opinions without anger, violence or misunderstanding. Freely communicative communities are healthier and foster economic and cultural developments—making for diverse and sustainable communities. Proctors’ approach to doing this is the Open Eye project. The Open Eye project is comprised of the following programs, which address issues relevant to different generations of the community, equipping them with the tools necessary to effectively communicate.
The challenges of the 21st century classroom are numerous and complicated. Engaging students, making complex concepts & ideas seem relevant and interesting, are just some of the challenges facing the modern teacher. Proctors believes that the arts have a great opportunity to aid teachers beyond the limits of the theatre and stage, and reach deep within the classroom. As a result, we have partnered with area high schools to address some of these needs in the MediaWorks program. Through MediaWorks, we work directly with teachers to develop a new approach to curriculum, integrating the media arts into Common Core standards to teach students across educational backgrounds & abilities. The program provides an opportunity for: • Teacher training • Student engagement • New learning pathways
Offered on Thursdays and Saturdays, the Open Eye Training Institute classes provide an opportunity for students of any age to learn the skills necessary for television production. Learn new techniques, or advance your skills in one or more classes taught by digital media professionals. For teachers interested in Professional Development, we can custom design workshops as needed. Contact us for information.

Times change so quickly, and with that change comes new technology and new forms of communication. Proctors is utilizing media as an outlet for creativity and storytelling. With the After School Media program, middle school students are invited to explore the exciting world of the media arts; create television shows, short films, interviews with local leaders, animation clips, and much more! This after school program is available to all students in grades 6-8 in the Capital Region!
