Tosha Fowler, my S-D, starts working on Wednesday at De Paul. She will be teaching Acting for Non-Majors (non-conservatory) in two sections. Good for her.
She is certainly ready and extraordinarily able to teach these classes, and the students will be lucky to have her for their teacher. Tosha's talents in theatre have been honed by long and careful effort. Hopefully she has taken "best practices" from all her teachers over the years, including myself. Tosha has extended herself and her skills as an actress, a director, a producer and a teacher in multiple ways over her career. Tosha is vitally concerned about process and results in all her work -- she is an ideal college teacher.
Of course I am highly prejudiced about her -- I have admired her many talents, and seen both her successes and her failures over quite a few years now. She has grown past her own college Mentors (including me) and has grasped both the teacher's and the student's roles in learning about theatre crafts. I predict that she will win again. And the only thing missing in her work would be my ability to see it. Sigh!
