When NYCU student Mr. Ben Harrell approached us for help with his Applied Theatre dissertation we set a goal of engaging Gullah/Geechee people and related indigenous cultures in a study to learn more about the culture across generations. By leveraging new digital tools for engagement we were extremely successful in leveraging the Digipreneur Curriculum to design a unique experience for our audience.
The project kicked off a few weeks ago…we are thrilled to be a part of the Tech Storytellers! Our aim is to:
- Enrich young people’s textual, visual, and critical literacies by exposing them to the process of developing multiple elements of playwriting, theatre, acting, and dramatic craft.
- Foster candid and meaningful dialogue among artists and audiences of diverse backgrounds by creating intergenerational PBL activities.
- Enhance instructional design through discussion events and resources, encouraging active audience participation and learning and expanding the cultural experience of theatre.
- Provide professional development and training opportunities for theatre artists, practitioners, and educators at all stages of their careers.
If you’re school or organization aims to combine the use of technology with the arts, fashion, music, and theatre to enhance storytelling, become a Learning Partner today.
