I've worked extensively both as an in-class teaching artist and an after-school director. I currently teach K-8 drama and art at Ring Mountain Day School. I worked in the Theater Ensemble at Albany High School for 8 years, directing many of their shows. I was the 4th/5th grade drama teacher at Berkwood Hedge Elementary School in Berkeley for three years. Each year the 5th graders wrote and performed a full-length play. Each year it was an entirely different process and always incredibly rewarding. I've directed tons of musicals and plays with the Yes! Program (60+ kids per cast!) where I also taught a summer devising/playwriting workshop with middle school students.
Other programs I've worked or still work in:
