Engaging with the Student Arts Audience For many Texas Performing Arts student employees, Tim Rogers is a familiar face around campus. As Assistant Director of Student Engagement at TPA, Tim is their go-to guy for all fun activities within the organization: Hook ’em Arts, AmBASSadors, student employment, and The Loft. This very talented and very busy employee has also taken on a new professional venture—teaching. In the spring of 2019, Tim will teach a class on campus within the College of Fine Arts. The course, Engaging with the Arts from the Audience, offers students an opportunity to

fulfill a fine arts requirement or an elective while gaining a deeper understanding of the arts. “I hope to show my students the impact of all types of art and how unfamiliar artwork can be rewarding,” said Tim. “I want to help them learn new ways to appreciate the arts.” The class will give students the opportunity to blend their academic time with the performing arts, exposing them to these worldclass experiences on campus that they may otherwise miss. Students will learn about the history and context of fine arts performances in Texas Performing Arts Essential Series Season as well as other mediums of art like sculpture, digital art, and gallery artwork while exploring the impact it leaves on our culture. “All art comes out of an expression of culture and, whether we are texasperformingarts.org

participating or viewing that art, understanding where it came from can enrich our experience,” said Tim. Although this spring will mark his second class, Tim has been making strides towards creating this fusion of academics and live performances for some time. “When I initially joined the team in 2013, I had an interest in eventually teaching,” said Tim. “I researched Student Engagement programs at peer institutions and took note of ways that we might fill in the gaps.” Over the course of his six-year tenure, the UT alumnus (Master of Music, 2008) has been working with Texas Performing Arts Director and Associate Dean Kathy Panoff and the Associate Dean of the College of Fine Arts, Andrew Dell’Antonio to develop this course and provide the best performing arts experience to texasperformingarts.org

“I hope to show my students the impact of all types of art and how unfamiliar artwork can be rewarding.” our students. And although a student’s time on campus is generally brief in the grand scheme of their professional careers, Tim knows that this is the best time in their lives to explore all that the fine arts has to offer. “Like the fine arts, the population of students is constantly changing. The average student is on campus for four years and then moves on to the next part of their life,” said Tim. “It’s exciting to see them grow personally and professionally over the years. I find that part of my job is very fulfilling.” 9

Student Spotlight At Texas Performing Arts, we professionally involve students in every aspect of our organization. Having the opportunity to show, connect, and inspire our students to be the next generation of arts leaders is one of the most important things we do.

PROFILE NAME YEAR JOB

MAJOR

Hannah Robbins Hopkins Second-Year Masters Student Senior Student Associate for Campus & Community Engagement Information Studies/ English

e met with Hannah Robbins Hopkins to chat about the performing arts, her academic studies, and her time as a valued student employee. INFORMATION STUDIES AND ENGLISH IS AN INTERESTING COMBINATION OF MAJORS. TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THAT.

I love getting to do interdisciplinary work, and I believe that my research is so much stronger for it. Most of my research deals with teenagersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; communication practices in online spaces and the ways in which they are really making and shaping language in areas like social media. 12

Being a part of a dual program means that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to engage with wonderful faculty and exciting research across several parts of campus.

WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AT TPA?

This is my second year as the Senior Student Associate for Campus & Community Engagement (CCE). Mostly, this means that I design lessons and instructional materials for schools as a part of the Performing texasperformingarts.org

Arts and Academic Connection program. This role gives me the opportunity to visit area schools to work with teachers and administrators as we’re designing lessons. I also help design educational tours, coordinate events, and create other resources for CCE.

AS SOMEONE WHO HAS SUCH A PASSION FOR EDUCATION AND THE ARTS, HOW DO YOU FEEL THE PERFORMING ARTS IMPACTS THE STUDENTS IN THE AUDIENCE?

When students see themselves represented in the performing arts, there’s an invitation to create their own dreams. Attending youth performances can help them to be inclusive, engaged, and considerate community members. As students are learning about self-expression, exposure to the arts can be instrumental in fostering healthy relationships.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE PERFORMING ARTS?

I love seeing students and new artists stretch themselves technically and creatively. Whether it’s a new role as a stage manager or especially complex choreography, it’s evident when students have put in the long hours of work and are truly proud of the results.
