Education on Stage | 7 June

Teaching with Theatre Skills for Online Teaching / Education on Stage
Teaching, whether online or face-to-face, has many similarities to storytelling in a theatre setting. In this module we will apply the phenomenon of theatre to teaching, and we will discover one underlying principle to guide all aspects of our performance including posture, gestures and use of voice

The first step is to be able to reach your students with the signals you send. Everybody can learn that with the dedicated exercises this course has in store. Next you will learn to change your style when the content changes and last but not least, optimize that for the setup you use.

Make the most of your teaching skills and optimize your (online) education by reinventing your performance skills.

You might have noticed that it is not easy to connect with students in an online lesson and that you lose a lot of energy teaching online. In ‘Education on Stage/Theatrical Tools for (Online) Teaching’ you can learn actors’ skills to make the most of interaction via the screen or in a classroom.

The good news is that the tools can also be used in your normal teaching as it is always about reaching students best, and making sure the content is in charge of the style you present in.

Participants who already did ‘Education on Stage’ are more than welcome. We take a similar approach, but now we focus on performance online. Even if you did the other course, this one will allow you to refresh what you learned years ago, and get assistance in making that happen online. When making presentations for groups, theatre skills are invaluable tools for captivating your audience.

This course can be taking alongside Activating Large Audiences, which runs in the morning on the same days.

The cost of this training is 600 euro and can be charged to your faculty (ask your secretary for the baancode).
