Theater teachers are forced to adapt constantly. Whether responding to advancing technologies, cuts to - or the growth of - their programs, or ever-changing governmental mandates, they struggle to serve both their students and their craft. Using a theater arts program at a midwestern high school as an example, this book explores how change, good or bad, directly affects students as well as teachers. Building on the work of the previous edition of Temporary Stages, Jo Beth Gonzalez shows teachers how to sustain confidence and outlines "critically conscious" teaching, a technique that encourages students to practice self-agency and critical awareness. Essential reading for all theater teachers, this indispensable resource is a font of innovative classroom and production practices.
