Ms. O to Greece in 2015!
DID MS. O EVER TEACH YOU or LEND YOU A HAND? Now she needs your help!
In July & July 2015 I am going to Athens, Greece for a 3-week professional development workshop at The Athens Centre, http://athenscentre.gr/?p=2405
http://edgewareproductions.com/Greece.html
For the past 14 years I have been teaching the Ancient Greeks in my theatre and acting classes, and I've decided it's time to get a hands-on look and ensconce myself in the place where western theatre began. This workshop offerings are similar to my 2011 fellowship to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London, and next year's season at Riordan will be GREEK (soon to be announced!).
I am looking for former students, friends, family, colleagues to offer $5 - $10 donations, and thank Jannine Nelson for the Go Fund Me idea and push!
Fund for Teachers offers professional development GRANT for this purpose and I am applying when the application comes out in October, to cover the other portion of this experience.
