Assistant Professor & Head of Musical Theatre & Theatre | Theatre Director | Performance Pedagogue | Equitable Arts Advocate
Just finished my first year as a full time faculty member and the Director of a #musicaltheatre and #theatre program. Here are my end of the year thoughts 💡 🔸Our choices should always be student centered. 🔸Hold true to your boundaries. 🔸Teaching somehow ends up at the bottom of the priority list (amongst admin duties). 🔸Students want and need structure. 🔸Expectations should always be made clear from the start. 🔸You won’t be friends with everyone. 🔸Culture shock is a real thing. 🔸It’s okay to be frustrated. 🔸Have a solution based mentality. 🔸Change takes time. 🔸Hidden curriculum is real. 🔸Pedagogy should be a requirement for all teachers/professors. 🔸Teaching doesn’t mean talking. 🔸Just because it’s “how you’ve always done it,” doesn’t mean there isn’t a better or more efficient way. 🔸A supportive Dean makes all the difference. 🔸Curriculum needs to and should be re-evaluated. 🔸Ask for help/advice from people you trust. 🔸Stay active and up to date within your industry. 🔸I’m grateful to have a job! What would your advice be from a #universityprofessor or in #highereducation ❓

Executive-Level Strategist & Researcher | Expert in Brand Strategy, Audience Insights & Documentary Storytelling | Empowering Leaders to Innovate & Inspire
BRINGING RESEARCH TO LIFE: A CREATIVE TWIST I'm always looking for creative ways to bring research to life. I want research to be not just informative but unforgettable. For research to be impactful, audiences need to FEEL something. It's not enough for findings to be relevant; they need to grab you, make you feel the urgency, the surprise, and spark that aha! moment. This is super challenging with historical research. How do we make people care about what seems like ancient history, buried in dusty archives? That's why I got excited when I read Anna Deavere Smith's play, "This Ghost of Slavery," in The Atlantic. It was a lightbulb moment. I've never seen someone use such an imaginative approach to bring research to life—weaving old and new transcripts from actual interviews into characters' dialogue in a story set in contemporary America. Suddenly, those 1890s Maryland diaries aren't just old documents--"the echoes of history reverberate loudly, revealing the power of historical trauma to shape behavior in the present day." Check out the entire November 2023 issue of The Atlantic for more. It's a deep dive into the impact of Reconstruction and its backlash, shedding light on current societal issues. Perfect timing as we wrap up Black History Month. https://lnkd.in/gyJxdzhP Let's keep pushing the boundaries of how we present research. If we can make history leap off the page, imagine what else we can do. #ResearchInnovation #HistoricalInsights #CreativeStorytelling #EngagingHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #ThoughtLeadership #CulturalImpact #HistoryReimagined

Being a DEI ally is about more than just being nice. It’s about taking action to create a more equitable and inclusive world. It’s about listening, learning, and speaking up. It’s about creating space for others and holding yourself accountable. It’s about being an advocate for change. If you want to be a DEI ally, start by taking small steps and the link below can be one of them. The BBC has some excellent DEI links, but this one is gold! #DEI #allyship #allyshipmatters #diversityequityinclusion

👋🏾 LinkedIn community. I have been off this platform for about a month to complete this #book, which will be published later this year. It represents 15 years in archives, 4 research assistants, over 100,000 in funding, and an innumerable number of hours of my life. It is the first full length book to tell this story and this story isn't about one thing, but everything from #race to #racism, #colonialism and #nationalism, #music and #theatre, #dance and #singers, #national #culture and #local #culture. There is something in here for everyone interested in understanding the roots of race as #commodity and how anti-Blackness was at the core of Canada’s formation. Black people have been both loved and feared and blackface is the vehicle I have chosen to explain this historical #dynamic. Stay tuned for pre-order information. #book #newbook #Canada #blackfaceAtlantic #DrCheryl #historyrevealed #culturalcriticism #radicalthought #WLP #Canadianauthor #publishing #essentialread #preorder #comingsoon #uncompromising #instantclassic #dedication #radicalwriting #performance #persistence #determined #trailblazed

This week's #reflexivepractice question has me thinking long and deeply about how the system views ownership, including intellectual property. How traditional knowledges, if acknowledged and used, usually then isn't shared with respecting traditional ethics and practices. They often are not shared with consideration of cultural norms. That is if traditional knowledge is acknowledged and respected.
Last Friday, I saw the band Ya Tseen (meaning 'be alive') headed by Nicholas Galanin, a multidisciplinary Indigenous American artist of Tlingit (Klinkit) and Unangax̂ (Oo-nun-gahx) descent. The show made me reflect deeply on the use of storytelling as traditional culture, not just the practice, but the stories of a culture that usually carries traditional knowledges. I know from previous projects unpacking traditional knowledges with communities to understand traditional forms of Disaster Risk Reduction. But what is the traditional practice of sharing these stories? If we share traditional knowledge, even with permission, shouldn't we also respect the practices of sharing traditional knowledge?

Impress vs Impact Post Teacher's Day in Jamaica is long passed. I thought long and hard if I should post as I questioned why I would post if I did. I needed to assure myself that my sharing was not about impressing but more so impacting. This is one of the messages I received on teacher's day and I've been emotional and pensive since. I remember her journey clearly; I remember how I felt when I saw the assignments; I remember her looks of disappointments; I remember her efforts, I remember how I felt when I sat to examine her teaching episodes in her final moments; I recall now how I feel each time I see her in action in her professional sojourn, and that seldom warm feeling always fills me up. I'm not the most patient teacher. I will 'cuss' you out badly, and give Yuh nuff 'big licks' if I know you have potential and you're playing the fool. I don't play and I'm usually hated and respected for it. I have also realised I don't think I love teaching but find I am excellent at it and through my creative methods I have always impacted even one. I've tried to leave the profession many times but I'm still here. So I allow God to order my steps. Some days I wonder and question, why do I even bother. And then I get messages like these and the question is answered....if I touched even just ONE, I would have accomplished the purpose paid out before me. I hope this post impacts someone positively. #teaching #artseducator #theatre. #director #DorraineReid #impactinglives #education #purpose
