Arts Education for Actors:
A Paid Training Program for Circle Graduates
Professional artists who work as arts educators usually earn anywhere from $30-$200 per hour for leading
interactive workshops in grade schools and at community sites. As a participant in Arts Education for
Actors, you will learn how to apply your theatre training and creative abilities to help children and
adults learn and develop their social skills. Supplement your acting income as you make a difference in
your community. The program components are: Wouldn't you rather teach kids about theatre than wait tables or temp between acting jobs?
Please contact at (212) 307-0388 if you would like to participate.
Actively participate in the planning and implementation of a long-term residency
at a NYC school. With the guidance of a master Professional Teaching Artist, you will work as an
assistant taking charge of a group within the class and helping them to achieve project goals as set by
the master artist in conjunction with teachers from the project school. Trainees attend two planning
sessions, orientation for schoolteachers and at least seven residency mornings.
Attend four participatory workshops conducted by leaders in the field on critical
topics such as: Classroom Management, Working with People with Special Needs, Age-appropriate
activities and more.
Attend the annual NY City Arts in Education Roundtable conference "Face to Face."
Ongoing technical assistance is available from the program administrator on
questions you may have and for referrals to organizations that regularly hire teaching artists.
A stipend is provided to Circle graduates upon program completion.
