Patrick’s Cabaret is seeking Teaching Artists and Teaching Assistants for our 2017-18 Teaching Artist Residencies.
About Patrick’s Cabaret
Founded in 1986 by Patrick Scully, Patrick’s Cabaret is a queer-led performance art incubator supporting the growth and development of artists on the edge of culture.
Our work strives to centers artists of color, with disabilities, and with queer and trans identities. We grow new art and new artists “on the edge of culture” by encouraging artists of all experience levels to try new things, take risks, and present works-in-progress. We connect artists to education, performance platforms, tangible resources, and to each other, to put their talents to work. We build a diverse network of artists committed to forwarding a radically inclusive and progressive creative community where artists on the margins can thrive.
About the Teaching Artist Residency Program
For 30 years, Patrick’s Cabaret has helped artists tell their stories in a welcoming, supportive, and transformative environment. We continue that work by offering customized workshops and residencies with organizations, growing new art and new artists directly in our community.
Teaching Artist Residencies are carefully designed to help participants find and hone their creative voices in their own spaces and on their own terms. We work closely with organizations to develop a custom residency curriculum to meet the community’s learning and social goals.
Teaching Artist Responsibilities
1. Design lesson plans on topics relating to storytelling- through poetry, spoken word, movement, or visual art in collaboration with the Residency Producer.
2. Teach workshops related to themes created in the curriculum plan.
3. Facilitate a final workshop on performance skills with the purpose of participants sharing their work in a performance open to friends and family.
