COLLEGE TEACHING EXPERIENCE
2020
Visiting Artist, Illinois State University, Normal, IL I teach a weekly 2-hour seminar on a topic I proposed, give a public lecture on my practice, and conduct studio visits with undergraduate and graduate students.
2019
Visiting Artist, Montgomery College, Rockville, MA As part of this position, in Spring 2019 semester, I work regularly in a provided studio, instruct students in a seminar of my own design, and give an artist lecture about my work. I teach a weekly workshop entitled “Performance Art”. At the end of the semester, students will perform their final performances in front of a live audience in a public venue.
Visiting Artist and Scholar Residency Program, Columbus State University, Columbus, GA For this position, I took a three week hiatus from my residency at Montgomery College. During the three weeks, I resided in Columbus, Georgia, worked regularly in a provided studio, and engaged students in a seminar of my own design entitled “Critical Issues in Performance Art”. The two day intensive workshop familiarized students with the history and theory of performance art. After the workshop, I met with students individually in studio visits to discuss their final performances for the class. Final performances were performed in a public venue as the culmination of the class.
