Comments from our students:I have had an awesome summer. My last two classes were exceptional! Masks & Directing 1. Honestly, I kind of came into this summer thinking I didn't really want to direct shows anymore. But after Directing 1, I am excited to start the year. For me it's a chance to talk to experienced drama teachers and get ideas for plays to produce. These things, along with the day to day mechanics I'm picking up, are things I can use in developing my program and that will help my students. I am looking forward to summer session with you all this year. You have no idea how much I have learned and how many doors have opened because of your program. I took Design Methodologies this summer and came away with different ways to think about design ideas that were inspirational. Exploring Drama in the Classroom gave excellent ideas for taking many types of literature and making it come alive through movement and vocal work. It's so nice to see the CWU Facebook page with all the postings. The program was the best educational experience I could have asked for. I miss the faculty and theatre colleagues: such a wealth of resources. |
