Programming.
Our programming is designed to build on the combination of passion, knowledge and experience that drew us to become teaching artists in the first place.
We provide opportunities to deepen connection to the craft through exposure to leading figures in our field, and to a wide variety of methodologies. Further, we seek to broaden and deepen the field of teaching actors through inclusion, discussion and collaboration.
With a growing number of members worldwide, our organization delivers support and inspiration to acting teachers nationally and internationally. Our programming promotes community, exchange of ideas, approaches that foster health and well-being, and exploration of innovations that advance our profession.
