Third session on April 7: Creativity!

Teaching is more than a chair, a text and a cup of coffee. Teaching is also movement, development, challenges, off-the-cuff improvisation, stretches of the imagination, eye contact and stories. Next week in PLAYGROUND, we will look at creativity and its role in the university, inviting you all to come create with us! Thursday’s workshop is designed to get us to talk before we think - to flex our spontaneity muscles. Along the way, we will continue to build the group and to build an environment where creativity is collaborative.

All postgraduates are welcome. Cake and juice will be provided by the management.

Thursday, April 7 at 6.15 p.m. in Room 332, Norfolk Building, Strand campus. Follow the signs from the Strand building to ‘Norfolk Building’.

RSVP to either maria.damkjaer@kcl.ac.uk or philippe.roesle@kcl.ac.uk

Performing Teaching - Thursday 10 May

We would like to invite you to the second session of 'PLAYGROUND: The Improvisational Teaching Forum' on Thursday 10 March at 6.15 pm, Room 332 (Norfolk Building, Strand).

'Performing teaching':
Wherever we are, we are always performing a role. Teachers and researchers are performers too, but what role do we take up in those positions? Next week's session of PLAYGROUND will engage with the roles we take on in a teaching and research environment and ask how we can improve our teaching skill through mediated performance.

And in our fast-established tradition, there will be cake!


Please RSVP to maria.damkjaer@kcl.ac.uk or philippe.roesle@kcl.ac.uk
