Workshops
Workshops:
Learning in Action, Inspiration in Practice
Experience hands-on professional learning grounded in the art of theatre. TEC workshops bring the creative process to life through collaboration, reflection, and practice.
Empowering Educators Through Theatre-Based Learning
Theatre is active, collaborative, and transformative—and so are the workshops at TEC! These sessions invite educators to explore new ideas through movement, dialogue, and reflection, building skills that enrich their classrooms and communities.
Led by expert teaching artists, theatre educators, and scholars, workshops at TEC model the power of arts-based professional learning. Participants don't just hear about best practices, they experience them firsthand.
What You'll Experience
- Hands-On Exploration: Step into the role of learner through activities that demonstrate theatre-based strategies for teaching, directing, and community building.
- Innovative Practice: Engage with new pedagogies, creative tools, and emerging trends shaping the future of theatre education.
- Reflective Learning: Participate in guided reflection to connect the workshop experience to your own teaching and leadership.
- Collaborative Community: Share ideas and discoveries with peers who believe in the transformative impact of school theatre.
Each workshop offers practical takeaways you can apply immediately, from techniques for ensemble building and devising, to approaches for culturally responsive instruction and arts integration.
Why It Matters
At TEC, workshops are more than sessions—they're shared experiences that help educators ignite creativity, build belonging, and reimagine what theatre education can be. Every participant becomes part of an ensemble of artists, teachers, and leaders who strengthen the field together.

Workshop leaders represent a diverse community of theatre educators, artists, and researchers from across the country. Selected for their innovation and impact, these presenters create engaging, inclusive spaces that foster collaboration and discovery.
