Our Own Adventures

How cool to be surprised at an action shot of me teaching! I love these kids and their adaptation of Number the Stars blew me away. #teachingartist #kidartists

I love my job. Every time I meet people as dedicated to their community as #mpbonline is, my heart grows a few sizes (especially when we have a Jr participant!) #storieschangetheworld #pbs (at Mississippi Public Broadcasting)

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood when storytelling and advocacy for youth and early education join forces (at WFSU)

I love that there is so much conversation around teaching artists (between this and Jessica James it all just feels right). I’m curious though about why artistic men are so lacking in joining this game. 

Read the interview with Amelia Heffron and I, here: http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?m=1101065259193&ca=671c39da-ef2e-4f7c-a61a-b3d6da34133d

My most joyous sight: watching people share stories

Working on Shakespeare with elementary school aged students. Bringing their own imaginations to the classics

Working on Shakespeare's language with the bright lights at MSU

Headed to the art museum with my dudes (plus Lyra). Love the big hearts and brains on these Trailblazers and watching them grow up to discover their voices. "Everything isn't like it seems" --Nolan #asctrailblazers #modernart #fivesnaps #teachingartist

Directed a staged reading of the Young Playwright’s for Change National Winner: Fletcher Fraher’s The Principal. #youngplaywrights #actingheroes #trailblazers

Leading a workshop in storytelling for the stations that are IN the communities. You'll be amazed at how many plates they are spinning #pbskids #storytelling

Storytelling for corporations ... but like amazing ones. Like PBS.

Working on stories and how to identify our network and communities at the PBS offices in DC.

And so goodnight unto you all. Our experiment of Shakespeare In A Week comes to an end. Couldn't have done it without this team and the commitments of these communities! #teachingartist #tourlife #shakesresidency (at Springhill Elementary School)

Exploring embodiment and exploration of Shakespeare's language, with k-3rd graders

First day of Spring Break Drama Camp in Moscow. Rules made, now all we have to make is a whole Shakespeare in a week. #shakesresidency #midsummernightsdream (at Moscow, Idaho)

Maybe the best part of this week---the kiddos that took the non-glory jobs upon themselves. #proudteachingartistmama (at Petra Academy)
