June in Orlando - Workshops, friends, and incredible artists
Submitted by becky on Fri, 06/26/2015 - 17:09I'm in Orlando for the month of June. Florida is an incredible state, and Orlando is a lovely city.
This month I had the great fortune to revisit Full Sail University as an instructor for the Professional Communication and Presentation class. I taught two sections of incredible artists and entertainment business students - working with them on their personal pitch to future employers and collaborators. These students developed some incredible presentations!
I also had the opportunity to revisit TeachLive, where I participate in the Classroom simulator as a digital puppeteer and interactor.
Tonight, I attend the final meeting of TeachLive as I know it - the organization is splitting into two separate entities - and I get to share some of the grad school goodies I've gathered in the past year. I'll be sharing what I gleaned from Richard Armstrong in a three day intensive he taught at Towson University last fall. I only have an hour, so it will be simplified and basic. I hope people will seek out Richard Armstrong for his workshops - he's pretty incredible.
On Sunday I will be teaching a 3 hour workshop on table-top puppetry. The workshop is sponsored by Valencia Community College, and is free to participants.
Whenever I return to Orlando, it is clear to me that I spent 15 years here for a very good reason. The people, the arts scene, and the scenery are all incredible. I'm glad to have the opportunity to give back to the city that raised me.
