Join ISTA for a dynamic virtual PD&L session designed for theatre educators eager to expand their approach to staging and spatial storytelling.

Led by an expert practitioner, this 90-minute online workshop offers practical strategies, creative insights, and classroom-ready techniques to help both educators and students move beyond default end-on staging. Explore the creative possibilities of traverse, in-the-round, promenade, and site-specific configurations—even within limited or unconventional teaching spaces. Participants will leave equipped with tools to deepen student understanding of audience perspective, narrative space, and the expressive potential of staging. With a focus on Tension, Emotion, Atmosphere, and Meaning (TEAM), the session supports design thinking that enhances devising, ensemble work, and script-based performance.

Ideal for educators working with middle years and pre-university students, this session provides high-impact, subject-specific professional development that strengthens both student engagement and curriculum delivery.
