Workshops and Residencies by Wild Swan Theater

Wild Swan Theater has been leading drama workshops and teacher training workshops for almost 20 years. We offer a range of programs including:

participatory workshops for elementary, middle, and high school students (see Sample Drama Workshops)
drama activities especially designed for participants with disabilities including deaf, blind, mobility impaired, and developmentally disabled youngsters (see Sample Drama Workshops)
teacher training workshops for teachers wishing to incorporate drama into class activities or who would like to use drama as a tool in their curriculum. (see Sample Teacher Training and Inservices)

Wild Swan teachers are skilled professionals with years of experience. Workshops are designed and often led by Wild Swan Artistic Directors Hilary Cohen and Sandy Ryder. Ms. Ryder received her B.A. in Theater and Psychology from the University of Michigan and has received statewide recognition for her teaching skills.

Dr. Cohen received her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and has published a number of articles on the teaching methods she and Ms. Ryder have developed. Wild Swan's work has been featured at the national meetings of the Association for Theater in Education, the Association for Theater and Accessibility, and the Arts Midwest and the NEA Regional Meeting. Internationally, Wild Swan has led training workshops for teachers and artists in Hong Kong and Bombay, India.
