    Teaching Philosophy Theatre is an impure art. It is the crossroads for spatial relationships, movement, sound, fine arts, history, politics, flesh and blood. I want students to experience the potency of all of these elements. In order to do so, a classroom ought to be filled with rigor, joy and deep passion. I believe a teacher helps reveal that which is already germinating within a young theatre artist. My hope is that the academic experience of theatre allows a student to arrive at the crossroads of theatre, and make extremely strong choices when they choose their unique direction.
