About this event
Join us for an immersive three-day IB DP Theatre workshop designed to deepen your understanding of theatre practice, pedagogy, and IB assessment. Led by expert theatre educators, this workshop provides hands-on exploration of key elements such as staging play texts, world theatre traditions, ensemble collaboration, and theatre theory.
This event features the following specific workshop category:
- Category 1 & 2 (Combined)
This workshop takes place alongside our New York TAPS (Theatre and Performance Symposium), a vibrant event for DP Theatre students. It’s the perfect opportunity to bring your students with you—while they explore and perform, you’ll be connecting, learning, and recharging your teaching practice.
