Theatre & Drama

The word 'theatre' comes from the Greeks.

It means the 'seeing place.'

It is the place people come to see the truth about life and the social situation.

- Stella Adler

Drama is a wonderful vehicle with which we can use to understand and appreciate our world and relationships.

I have a strong interest in arts integration and use different modalities (visual arts, drama/music/movement) to engage student learning. In addition to being a regular homeroom teacher, my previous after-school roles include working as Dance Director with the ES/MS/HS Dance Teams, as well as Director and Choreographer in ES/MS/HS musical productions with theatre programs. I have also taught MYP Gr.9 & 10 Drama for a short duration.

I am also an artist with ISTA and work as an Ensemble Leader at various festivals, as well as an Artist in Residence.

GESS Gr.9 Students perform an ensemble piece they devised together after their study of Bogart's viewpoints.
