"Finding Fun in Failure" Pedagogy Lessons from Improv Theatre

15 views

We are told failure is the WORST but what if it’s actually the BEST? Join my improv troupe and learn how you can embrace the fun of failure by encouraging your students to play in a safe, inclusive environment. These pedagogy lessons have been successfully practiced with my current undergraduate courses with both music and non-major students. All it takes is saying the magic words – “Yes AND!” 

Thank you to the Center of Teaching and Learning at UT Austin for sponsoring my talk at our Graduate Teaching Showcase (2024) and recording this wonderful video!
