Special Workshops
Residencies are longer partnerships designed to fit each individual school’s needs. The goal of Second City Education residencies is to provide quality instruction for students while modeling improvisational tools for educators to continue to use in the classroom after the residency is over. Goals of residency can include, but are not limited to, developing literacy skills, exploring curriculum content areas, teaching drama and improvisation skills, or creating and performing an original presentation.
Residencies include one or more of the following components:
- Professional Development for teachers (generally Introduction to Improv for Creative Pedagogy)
- Teaching Artist in Residence - minimum of six visits for short term residency
- Final Presentation (minimum of 30 hours of instruction per class if goal of residency is student created scenes and performance)
