'Transitioning from Performer too Teacher'
What actions need too be taken in order to make this transition?
Are there different approaches too making this transition? If so, what are they?
Does professional Performance experience and vocational training in all three disciplines (Dancing, Singing, Acting) prove a valuable asset too teaching?
Does having studied at a vocational school put teachers at a disadvantage too teachers who trained on an academic degree?
Are students inspired by teachers who have had a successful performance career?
What are the similarities and differences between the two?
Are any of the skills used as a performer transferable ?
Are there different routes depending on the environment in which you wish too teach?
Why do performers make the decision too pursue a teaching career? Does the reason have an effect on how they teach and there motivation?
I would be extremely appreciative of any advise on how too develop these questions further and any more questions that I could possibly consider.
Thanks Laura - just had a good conversation with you over the phone - we talked about focusing on your work and if that would lead to your going into teaching... we also talked about concentrating on the craft of performance if that is what yo are actively doing now - I mentioned Hollie Smith who did use her work in a pantomime for the inquiry - something to think about as you are developing your topic.
