I can proficiently teach and assess Acting, Acting through Song, Movement for Actors, and Dance (Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, and Musical Theatre Dance. It is essential for me to create a climate where learners feel safe enough to discover new technical concepts; learn resilience, and appreciate themselves and others’ abilities. My teaching is rooted in the belief that creativity, imagination, and individuality must be balanced with a solid foundation of knowledge and theory. I utilise Smith-Autard’s Midway Model and incorporate techniques from mostly Stanislavsky and Laban to help students achieve this balance. My classes follow a dynamic cycle of creating, performing, and viewing (appreciating). I choose challenging, specific, and expansive concepts to focus on lessons that promote creativity, problem-solving, and laughter so that learners feel intrinsically motivated. I communicate drama and dance theories and technical aspects to learners using imagery, scaffolding tasks, differentiation, and models of inclusivity to eliminate potential barriers to learning. I subtly adapt and vary the tasks and teaching techniques to encourage their cooperative contribution, communication, self-reflection, evaluation, and appreciation based on learner feedback cues. I also build teamwork practices and guided discussions into creative lessons so learners feel empowered and responsible for their own learning. I understand that all my students, although hopeful, may not go on to professional performing careers. Therefore, my aim, along with teaching drama and dance techniques, is to encourage the development of thoughtful citizens who feel confident and empowered to contribute in healthy and positive ways to their community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d0e0f09b0dac21bf5e1297/1641742143041-3J5PLUXZUMDB4I91UEHI/Yes+I+Can-0167.jpg Teacher https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d0e0f09b0dac21bf5e1297/1641742742427-EONCJSILCOGC04ZJTEJF/YES+I+CAN+WORKSHOP.jpg Teacher https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d0e0f09b0dac21bf5e1297/1641743303359-24WOCCS009A19XJTN6AK/Yes+I+Can-9580.jpg Teacher https://www.brandonleesears.com/yes-i-can-workshops daily 0.75 2022-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d0e0f09b0dac21bf5e1297/96edd272-cce8-47e7-a5d6-33b8a888b85f/EMPIRE+THEATRE+SUNDERLAND+CREATIVE+LEARNING+EVENT+DREAMGIRLS+CAST_01-03-22_DJW_161.JPG Yes I Can Workshops - I’m committed to championing the creative arts industries because of the arts’ profound effect on my life. In conjunction with third-party creative learning specialists, independent education practitioners, and West End theatre productions, I’ve devised programmes of education activity, supported by production-specific educational resources. These programmes are suitable more suitable for primary and secondary schools in the formal education system, and they are targeted at students, young people or those embarking on their careers, to offer a glimpse into our world and the options that they could consider for themselves for future careers. In addition to the course content listed below; other options could include workshops, Q & A’s, backstage tours and interviews with company members to offer insight into the theatre industry, all the professional options available both onstage and off, and allow the show to be a springboard to allow individuals, from all backgrounds, to see theatre as for them, both as entertainment and a profession. https://www.brandonleesears.com/store daily 0.75 2024-05-06
