About this event
Join ISTA for a dynamic virtual PD&L session designed for IB DP Theatre educators and drama teachers seeking to integrate cutting-edge AI tools into their teaching and creative practice.
Led by an expert practitioner, this 90-minute workshop explores how generative AI can act as a powerful creative partner in the theatre-making process. From devising and design to character development and assessment preparation, we’ll explore how tools like ChatGPT, image generators, and AI-powered scriptwriters can meaningfully support student learning and artistic expression.
You’ll leave with ready-to-use strategies, engaging classroom activities, and a deeper understanding of how to harness AI ethically and creatively—while keeping collaboration, humanity, and storytelling at the heart of your practice. This session is ideal for teachers of secondary-aged students looking for innovative, subject-specific professional development that enhances student engagement and aligns with curriculum goals, including IB DP Theatre.
Learning objectives

- Identify key generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, image generators, AI scriptwriters) and describe their potential applications in theatre education.
