Welcome to MS Performing Arts at Bridges Prep! I just moved to the area from the suburbs of Philadelphia and am so excited to be here!
I have spent the last 15+ years working in a variety of theatrical roles in non-profit educational organizations, co-curricular school programs, in regional and Off-Broadway houses, and as an adjunct college professor. I am a professional costume designer, director, and theatre artist, with experience as an actor, writer, and stage manager.
I have a B.S. in Communications and Scriptwriting from Ithaca College, an M.A. in Theatre from Villanova University, and one year of a Ph.D. in Theatre and Performance Studies from Bowling Green State University (I hope to finish this one day!)
I am looking forward to building the Buccaneer Theatre Company after school as a director and designer, and hope to see many of my students join us this year!
Please feel free to visit my professional website for photos of my work: www.courtneyboches.com
My classes will help our students explore their creativity and imaginations to hone skills in public speaking, teamwork, and ensemble building. They will be highly participatory and engaging, involving discussions, activities, and games enhancing each unit.
6th & 7th grade will get a basic introduction to theatre as an art form as well as learn skills in improvisation, movement, and voice to explore their roles as communicators in society.
8th grade's units will be organized by the type of job one can have in theatre, such as playwright, director, actor, or designer. Students will create their own Director's Concept for a well-known fairy tale and create designs based on their concepts.
I understand that not everyone will be comfortable performing in class or speaking as much as others. While participation is necessary (and graded), I promise to meet students where they are as much as possible. Our class is a judgement-free zone and its main goals are self-awareness, effective communication, and team building.
