I loved being able to get more experience in my craft and even get some experience being an educator. All of the Teaching Artists were actually working actor/professionals who have done work all around the US, including at the alliance! They made it a very safe and open environment with room and time for networking and workshops. It was very relaxed and fun as well.
What I wish was different
I do wish that they offered at least some kind of stipend or at least a Marta voucher.
Advice
Be prepared for working out of your comfort zone. Also be prepared for a bunch of characters of children, because a lot of them have big personalities!

Teacher Assistant
May - August 2017 • Atlanta, GA
What I liked
I loved working with the kids and given the opportunity to work with professional actors as their assistants! I did this because I wanted to be more involved with theater, so help teaching children about the fundamentals of performing and then learning from that experience itself was a treasure to me.
What I wish was different
Wish their were more training about how to deal with some of the children. Not all of them will pay attention to you at various ages.
