Bio
Karen is a career teacher and arts and culture educator with deep roots in the Professional theatre, film and music communities. She has split he time between teaching in Anglophone East in languages, culture and theatre arts while performing, and working in the production areas of professional theatre, film, television and music. Retired early from her teaching career, Karen is building her second career squarely in the area of integrating arts to literacy and higher-level thinking in schools and in the community through public performance.
Residency Project
I would like to help a small school or a small group of teachers learn how to use collaborative creation as a teaching tool and a learning tool. Cross curricular, social voice as the theme, - ELA, Science, Social Studies. The product: a student created production either for theatre or internet that uses the curriculum materials as the message for a school lead/ community supported public service message.
Teaching Experience
I have 32 years of teaching experience in the classroom. I have had a dual career as an theatre Artist and a classroom teacher.
