Opportunities for Teachers:
Green Room Series:
We are excited to announce our next Green Room Session: Creating Anti-Racist Theater Programs. This is a two-session series. We ran this series earlier this year and are delighted to be able to offer another iteration.
Please join Michael Bobbitt, Artistic Director of the New Repertory Theater in Watertown, MA-- and the incoming Executive Director of the Massachusetts Cultural Council--for a two-session professional development opportunity focused on building anti-racist theater programs at your respective schools. Michael begins his new role in February, so we wanted to schedule this while he was still available!
Session One will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, January 13th at 7:30 PM. Session Two will be held Wednesday, January 20th at 7:30 PM.
Session One will provide participants with an opportunity to understand the foundations of anti-racist theater. Participants will engage in a dialogue about anti-racist theater and be provided an opportunity for questions and discussion. Session Two will provide participants with an opportunity to take what they have learned and apply it in their classrooms and performance spaces. Participants will work with their peers to identify action steps that work to dismantle policies and programs rooted in systemic racism.
When you register, you will be registering for both sessions. The registration fee is $50 per person for Member Schools and $75 per person for Non-Member Schools - this fee includes both sessions. Everyone who registers will receive the Zoom link the morning of each session.
If you participated in the first series and would like to attend to continue the conversation, please feel free to send an email to metg@metg.org and let us know your interest and we will add you to the registration list.
If you are an METG Judge or Supervisor and would like to attend these sessions, please send an email to metg@metg.org.
