Teaching Artists
On Tour
2019-2020 School Year
Our touring teaching artists have years of experience in education and childcare not only as artistic educators, but also as classroom teachers, camp counselors, nannies, and tutors. In addition to their experience in education, Compass Creative Dramatics teaching artists are Chicago-based actors, directors, choreographers, stage combatants, playwrights, and other theatre professionals.
We are dedicated to assembling teams of teaching artists who are just as passionate about children and education as they are about the work they do onstage - artists who are not only able to provide your students and families with a nurturing and engaging educational environment,
but who teach by example so that your students can, in turn, learn to lead by example.
