Announcing TACT
Fredonia NY – Over the past eight days I have been involved in a discussion on my campus about the creation of a College of Visual and Performing Arts. It is something of a culmination of the work I’ve been doing as a blogger, trying to bring attention to the condition of theatre in non-urban areas, and highlight needed reform in how we train artists in this country. Scott Walters of Theatre Ideas is also a college professor, and he and I are joining forces to create a new blog called TACT, an acronym for Theatre Arts Curricular Transformation. We have resurrected some of our old posts from the past to being the process and intend to add new posts focusing on connecting the data and the disconnect we believe we see in theatre departments in relation to that data. We hope you’ll join us for a peek at the blog, and if you’re a theatre educator, spreading the word to your colleagues about its existence. Thanks. -twl
