"Ms. Ana has introduced methods that helped me understand what the character is feeling in order for me to portray it, and taught me that on stage, emotions are not only felt but should be seen. It's how I understood that as an actor, vulnerability isn't weakness but a strength." - Gloryen Limbo
TEACHING TEACHERS
Special Arrangements
Reserve A Time
Ana Valdes Lim author, director, teacher --teaches teachers how to teach Theater and use Theater for the classroom or the stage.
Are you unsure of how to use role-playing in your lesson plan?
Are you teaching a unit of Shakespeare, and have never seen a Shakespeare play live before?
Do you want to try a dramatization but don’t know how to cast and rehearse a scene?
Ask your specific question, and Ana will cut-to-the chase, and custom-tailor the learning for your classroom.
Teachers don’t have a lot of time. And the extra time they have, cannot be wasted.
In this class, Ana offers a conversation to support teachers with advice that isn’t in the books or the lesson plan. Ana has 40 years experience and is an author of several books on theater. “I want to teach what’s in between the lines…between the purpose and procedure of a lesson plan”.
