Like many of you, I suddenly find myself at home for three weeks, at the very least.  Having just had our show indefinitely postponed (or canceled) just one week before opening night, I am feeling a bit listless.

Thought it was worth sharing suggestions for inspirational online theatre (shows, interviews, whatever ...)?

They say that they offer a 30 day free trial for institutions (schools), though I haven't done so (yet).  Might try tomorrow.
It has all sorts of UK shows (RNT, RSC, Donmar, Globe), plus access to texts.

And the National Theatre has loads of stuff on YouTube, including lots of designers talking about their work (How We Made It section):

This one is more for your kids, but Laura Benanti just tweeted this weekend that she would gladly listen to any student that doesn't get to perform because of corona. Here's a link explaining more. It's a tear-jerker for sure.

HI!

These are great!  Thanks for sharing

For careers (and more information), I love Careers.Broadway (that's just .broadway. No .com , .edu, etc.)

It has a ton of articles and videos about every theatrical job imaginable (great for remote learning), and it has information about pathways to those jobs.

I've done a scavenger hunt with the website to get students acclimated to it, but I'm going to be using a lot of the techical theatre job pages during this time of schools off.

Best,
Erin

I had my fellow SAG/AFTRA union members who perform (as I do in LA)radio plays live  with with other senior actors look for some resources for teachers.

Here are a couple.

https://medium.com/kidslisten/banish-boredom-with-these-50-fun-kids-listen-podcast-activities-93f5025882e9

We are looking for more ideas, such as radio plays which classes can rehearse and create sound effects while at home.  I will post more as we discover them.

The Folger Shakespeare Library's podcast, Shakespeare Unlimited, is an excellent resource. It has interviews with actors, directors, historians, playwrights, educators on a wide range of Shakespeare-related subjects. Free, accessible, and really well curated. You could easily build lessons around their offerings.

These are some fantastic resources!  Thanks, everyone!

For my students, I'm not allowed to send links to anything with ad content ... and no YouTube, which really limits things. Glad to see that there are still many options among the suggestions that can work for my middle schoolers.

And TONS of stuff to keep me busy!!

Hang in there, everyone.

Hi Everyone!
I created a brief online Intro to Theatre course (a little over 2 hrs. of content in short videos) through Udemy about a year ago. Basic terminology, how we define theatre and art, reading plays, etc. You are all welcome to it for FREE.

Use this URL to enroll:
https://www.udemy.com/course/what-is-theatre-the-introduction-to-theater-basics-you-need/?couponCode=THEATRE4FREE
or the coupon code: THEATRE4FREE

It has an UNLIMITED number of redemptions, so your students can enroll as well - however, the code is only good for the next 3 days (that's all Udemy will allow). Hope it can be of help (or at least give you some breathing room!)

Our state closed our schools and is only allowing us to present "enrichment activities" at this time (no graded or required assignments).

I teach an Improv Theatre Class, which has been a challenge to create work that students can do to enrich their skills and understanding of improv. Here are some of the ideas I am currently developing.

• Article share featuring how the real world seeks the skills learned through improv
  • https://scottberkun.com/2013/what-i-learned-from-improv-class/
  • https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/neuroprogress/201508/can-improv-comedy-treat-social-anxiety
  • https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesleadershipforum/2014/06/27/why-improv-training-is-great-business-training/#4d72f82b6bcb
• My first assignment posted

  • This 95% improvised mockumentary was directed by MTHS alumni Nick Terry when he was a senior at Terrace (age 17). Nick was a drama student and performed in many plays at Terrace and was a member of the TheatreSports team. His mockumentary "Senior Prom" had its World Premiere at the 2010 Seattle International Film Festival!

    or
    Vimeo video 
    https://vimeo.com/174398715

  • follow up activities include 
    • brainstorm story ideas that could be made into a short film
    • outline story 
    • video story (if we can eventually return to school or that can be done with family members or creative social media application
  • Vocab terms related to improv/acting
    • activities that are connected to vocab 
  • I'm thinking there are a couple of improv games that can be played with partners (other trapped family members or via social media) that students can video and upload (provided they have the equipment)
    • questions only
    • ABC dialogue
  • Scriptwriting (I would love some lesson plans - most of my teaching of scriptwriting is one on one, teacher-led, I could use something more tangible
  • Monologue writing
  • Weekly abstract challenge - fun challenges that keep the students using the creative thinking process.

Subject: Theatre Resources Online

Like many of you, I suddenly find myself at home for three weeks, at the very least.  Having just had our show indefinitely postponed (or canceled) just one week before opening night, I am feeling a bit listless.

Thought it was worth sharing suggestions for inspirational online theatre (shows, interviews, whatever ...)?
(Thanks for the information about The Met streaming performances, that's on my list!)

My rather quick search found:

Kennedy Center:
https://www.kennedy-center.org/education/resources-for-educators/classroom-resources/media-and-interactives/ApplyFilter/?GradeBand=&ArtsSubject=Theater&OtherSubject=&Duration=&SearchText=&SortColumn=Title&SortDirection=Ascending

Was very excited to find this:
https://www.bloomsbury.com/dr/digital-resources/products/drama-online/
They say that they offer a 30 day free trial for institutions (schools), though I haven't done so (yet).  Might try tomorrow.
It has all sorts of UK shows (RNT, RSC, Donmar, Globe), plus access to texts.

And the National Theatre has loads of stuff on YouTube, including lots of designers talking about their work (How We Made It section):

Anyone have other favorite places for theatre inspiration online?
