Theater Arts 351: Field Internship in Community Arts

Faculty: Dr. William Yalowitz
Email: byalowitz at dca dot net

Spring 2002

This course is an experiential introduction to Community Arts, focusing on artist/community collaborations and community-based art education. Community Arts projects bring artists together with people of a community of location, spirit, or tradition, to create art that is based in the life of that community. The project for this year will be the production of Eminent Domain, a community-based arts event focusing on the history of a neighborhood adjacent to Temple’s main campus, centered around the Church of the Advocate. In this partnership-learning community arts course, students will help to create this production, working closely with community residents and organizations and with artists, gaining skills in hands-on community arts processes: local research, arts education, design and rehearsal, performance and installation. The course is grounded in Community Arts theory, growing out of the fields of Public Art and Performance Studies.

Spring 1999

Course Description and Goals
The course combines work in Performance Studies theory with the application of teaching, directing, and design skills in the production of an inter-generational community performance, at a community site inscribed with local significance. Community performance brings theater artists together with people of a community of location, spirit, or tradition, to tell the stories collected in oral history interviews, animating local architecture and urban landscapes with movement, stories, and sound, and creating collective historical fiction based on local issues and mythologies, students will help to create a community performance as a means for West Philadelphia to celebrate their histories and to show their struggles - in short, to create public discourse through performance-making.

MUS 253, 254 - Piano Performance is designed for the student to develop his or her piano performance skills by performing in front of a small audience of peers every week in the College’s Meagher Theatre, thus producing a more comfortable performance level. Relaxation and mental focus techniques, performance poise, and piano technical skills are practiced throughout the semester. Students also become active listeners by offering constructive criticism to the performer. This semester this course has acquired the exciting component of service-learning, so the students will not only benefit from taking part in several performance opportunities but also they will share their love of music and creation with the community. This love of music was also expressed by St. Francis of Assisi in his “Litany of Love”:

Arts 251/Education 251: Arts Teaching in Educational and Community Settings

Instructor: Madeline Cantor, mcantor at brynmawr dot edu

This course is a Praxis II course (4-6 hours per week in a school or community placement) intended for students with substantial experience in either dance, visual arts, theater or music. Through both the seminar portion of the course and the praxis placements students will read, write, discuss and engage directly with arts learning and teaching in a variety of settings – public, parochial, charter and private schools in urban or suburban areas, afterschool programs or community arts programs. The purpose of the praxis component is to allow students to create a fluid relationship between theory and practice through observing, teaching and reflecting on arts practices in education contexts.
