Connecting with Your Audience: Performance Techniques to Enhance Teaching and Communicate Research
Whenever you teach a class or present your scholarship, you’re a performer: you want to capture the audience’s attention and transform its stance toward your topic. How can you make your audience lean forward, eager to follow the intellectual journey you’re leading—even when they know nothing about your field? This interactive workshop will offer accessible strategies from theater, voice training, and improv to help you engage your students and colleagues. Whether you’re teaching your first section or entering the 3MT competition, you can learn to use your voice, body, and environment more effectively to make your performance click. Please bring a short description of a topic that you anticipate needing to teach or present.
