Drama Educators' Network Professional Learning Day

This is a day of enriching professional learning from a drama lens. All member schools are welcome, even those not planning to be part of the CISDF Drama Festival. There’s a hosted dinner and an opportunity to view an exciting performances at North America’s largest classical repertory theatre company. Past workshop sessions with teaching artists from Stratford have included fostering students’ ideas and helping them develop new plays in class, and working with a choreographer and creative movement director, to explore new ways to stage a piece.
