Faculty Workshop: Teaching with Presence … even through Zoom!

Date: 

Wednesday, August 26, 2020, 1:00pm to 2:00pm

Location: 

Online

Join the Bok Center and Erika Bailey (Head of Voice and Speech, American Repertory Theater; Lecturer on Theater, Dance & Media) for a faculty workshop on cultivating a charismatic presence in Zoom! We spend most of our time preparing for class by focusing on what we need to cover— what we need to SAY. But are we actually reaching our students? Our physical as well as our vocal presence play an integral role in our ability to engage students. In this session, we will build vocabulary for effective and engaging speaking, and practice teaching as a physical act. Using exercises from the theatre, we’ll explore how to better use your voice, your physical expression, and your relationship to the spaces in which you teach.

Offered twice, Wednesday 26 August at 1:00pm and Thursday 27 August at 1:00pm.
