From our friends at USITT - if you have a fly system and haven't had it inspected in a while, PLEASE apply! Some of the best in the business are part of this. Here's the info:The Rigging Safety Initiative is now accepting applications for the fall 2020 cycle....The RSI offers free stage rigging inspections and safety training for secondary schools across America. Once a school's application is approved, they choose from a list of participating ETCP certified rigging inspectors in their area. USITT pays the inspector directly for the inspection and four to six hours of safety training for faculty and student stage crew.

The seas of teaching are tougher than usual this year, but when experienced sailors work together they can keep the ship afloat during a raging storm. We unders...tand the need to stay nimble, to listen, to improvise. We all are collaborators and magic makers at our roots and create worlds out of nothing. Together we will weather this storm.

From our SDTEA President

From Board Members Julie Benitez and Kirsten Giard with Teach Tech Theatre: Hey y'all! We know you are working so hard to give students the best education possible! You can do it-- but remember to give yourself grace as well. To help you navigate this crazy time, T3 is proud to release the first three weeks of our first Technical Theatre Unit: Design Your Life.... This unit is a 9-week unit that will engage students in the world of design by applying design principles to their own lives. More units will come next week!

Look a cute Puppy! Middle School Theatre Teacher forum! August 6 at 3:00pm Register here: https://docs.google.com//1FAIpQLSdBD9oOsZjGkcAl4d/viewform

The DiverstiyWorks Committee of SDTEA invites you to participate in a facilitated series of discussion forums on August 4, August 18, September 15, and October 13 at 3 pm to address our social climate and the way we want to respond to some things and be proactive with others, in our classrooms. SDTEA believes we need to have some difficult conversations-some of them uncomfortable - about what we have been doing in our theatre classrooms, what we have been putting up on the s...tage, what decisions we have been making, why we do what we do, and how we can do it better. Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, Queer Rights, Immigration, Antiracism, White Privilege, Gender Rights, and every equity issue that has been brewing in America forever is probably going to be something you will discuss in your classroom virtual or face-to-face because it’s definitely on your students’ minds. Let’s meet up on August 4, August 18, September 15, and October 13 to chop up pressing issues like play selection, the voices we appropriate and put on stage, decolonizing our classrooms, and any other tough stuff you have in mind. Please fill out the attached Google Form to receive an email for the zoom link. https://docs.google.com//1FAIpQLSeT6nlA7i-_wcpDVv/viewform
