Due to demand, we are offering a second Teaching Artistry Institute this summer focused on facilitation and process design
Sojourn Theatre's 2020 Teaching Artistry Summer Institute: Facilitation and Process Design for Teaching Artists
Join Sojourn Theatre artistic director Michael Rohd alongside Goodman Theatre's Willa Taylor for three days of strategies, frameworks and dialogue focused on the work of teaching artistry, facilitation and process design in theatre-based practice.
The institute is hosted by The Alice B. Rapoport Center for Education and Engagement at Goodman Theatre as part of a multi year CPCP & Goodman Theatre partnership.
INSTITUTE LEADERS: Goodman Theatre's Willa Taylor & Sojourn Theatre’s Michael Rohd
SCHEDULE: 8AM - 2PM PDT (-7UTC) July 27th, 28th, & 29th
We will take a 1 hour break at 10:30 PDT, UTC -7 each day, as well as shorter breaks throughout each day.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Limited openings - all availability is on a first come, first serve basis. This event is designed for registrants 18 years of age and older.
The Institute is Pay What You Can. The registration levels listed are to provide direction if you want/are able to pay. We know times are hard - FREE, or whatever is possible for you at this time, are both fine.
We ask that participants be available for all hours over those 3 days. Since we will be designing the process and crafting groups ahead of time based on participant numbers and durational presence, the flow of the three days cant support in and out participation.
We understand that childcare may be complicated at this time, this will be a kid-friendly space if having them with you in frame or nearby makes it more possible for you to attend.
If you are registering with others, you are able to create a group at the time of registration. More details here.
A bit about Zoom tech & accessibility:
The meeting will not be captioned, but basic notes will be shared at the culmination of the Institute.
We recommend the use of headphones throughout.
We will be using a combination of spoken word and written text during the Zoom meeting. For this reason, we recommend participation via a desktop or laptop computer
You can adjust the size of the chat box text in Zoom Preferences, under Accessibility

Full participation in the institute requires a stable internet connection and/or stable cellular data connection for consistent access to the Zoom meeting content (video & chat feature).
If any of the above will be a barrier to your full participation in the Institute, please connect with us.
LOCATION: Online via Zoom video, we cannot accommodate call-in participation at this time. Zoom information will be shared with registrants prior to event start.
Sojourn Theatre has been devising original work and leading process with youth and adults in distinct contexts for twenty years: documentary theatre about public education on the floor of a state legislature (Witness Our Schools); a site-specific adaptation of Brecht in a working Subaru dealership (Good); an interactive urban planning performance tackling gentrification at an international Arts Festival (BUILT); an immersive journey that brought urban and rural audiences across 50 miles to share a meal, conversation and a multi-generational tale of love and loss (On The Table); and a participatory civic theatre event that engages strangers in the act of deciding how to spend real dollars on poverty reduction in their own community (How To End Poverty in 90 Minutes).
Sojourn creates gatherings that act like shows, processes that move like art, engagement that listens like relationship, and workshops that feel like discovery. Join Sojourn Theatre artistic director Michael Rohd alongside nationally recognized arts and education visionary Willa Taylor (Goodman Theater Director of Engagement and Education) for three days of strategies, frameworks, and dialogue focused on the work of teaching artistry, facilitation, and process design in theatre-based practice.
