My time at Mudlark Theater this summer has officially come to a close! As a Summer Education Intern, I learned more about every aspect of the TYA creative process and got hands-on leadership experience working with the incredible Evanston kids that make Mudlark’s mission possible. Over 9 weeks, I served as an assistant teaching artist, working with kids from 5 to 15 years old. I wrote, blocked, and directed scenes for our three-week devised productions, traveling from a pop concert in space to the inside of a video game. I also coached kids in Stage Combat, Longform Improv, and Sketch Comedy, providing the support and expertise needed to let their creative agency take the helm. I was able to contribute to every step of the process: training in QLab to sound design three of our mainstage devised shows, creating a variety of costumes and props, and further honing my administrative skills by managing camp information, attendance, and check-in/check-out. None of this would have been possible without the incredible team at Mudlark. I’d especially like to thank Allison Cochrane, Emiley Kiser, and Avery Ford for their mentorship and guidance, as well as all the other staff members, teaching artists, and interns that make up the Mudlark family. I’m so proud to have helped advance Mudlark’s mission of fostering kids’ imagination, creativity, and potential in the Evanston community and can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned to my theatrical pursuits in the coming year!
关于我们
Mudlark Theater is a not-for-profit organization where children are taken seriously as artists, and learn theater by making it. As a rule, the general public expects little of children’s theater. Mudlark's goal is to raise that expectation and keep it there. By holding children to a higher standard and empowering them to make strong artistic choices, we create the possibility for great theater—vibrant, funny, compelling shows that erase the boundary between youth and professional theater.
