Teaching and Performing: Ideas for Energizing Your Classes
By William Timpson, Suzanne Burgoine, Christine Jones, & Waldo Jones

Teaching and Performing gives insight on how to invigorate common teaching methods in order to promote student feedback. Quality teaching is more than simply giving students information, and the authors show educators fresh and creative strategies on how to teach familiar material.

This book offers an approach to teaching that is based on techniques and strategies for the stage. Using performance theory, the authors direct educators on how to transform ordinary classroom settings into dynamic and engaging experiences for students. Learn how to use energy, creativity, and spontaneity to add vitality to your teaching. Sections offer advice on warm-up exercises, assuming roles, props, lighting, blocking, concentration, and a variety of other techniques important to good theatre and good teaching.
