Teaching Artistry

Kenz is a Chicago based teaching artist who values giving kids room to learn and grow, fostering creative expression, and using a transparent teaching practice in order to create an equitable environment. 

 

In addition to taking many teaching artist classes during her time at The Theatre School, Kenz has also completed a teaching artist internship at Lifeline Theatre in which students ages 5-12 learned theatre techniques and created scenes or shows. She has also assisted with another teaching artist's placement in a third grade classroom, and is currently a teaching assistant for a History of Dramatic Literature course at The Theatre School. In the summer of 2022, Kenz worked as a teaching artist apprentice for Creative Root Summer camp, creating plays with two groups of campers over the course of 4 weeks.
