+DOE.We are looking for an artist-teacher whose work bridges

physical theatre, clown, intimacy direction, stage combat or other
embodied performance forms.

professional practice and influenced by traditional and emerging
trends in voice, speech and actor training. We seek an
artist-teacher whose pedagogy, creative activity, and/or
professional experience is rooted in diversity, equity,
accessibility, and inclusion as fundamental cornerstones of a
public education and has experience working with diverse student
populations.

In addition to teaching, the position carries an expectation for
research and/or creative activity in vocal coaching, dialect
direction, acting, directing, and/or performance pedagogy, leading
to tenure. The position will contribute to the program by
undertaking administrative commitments, serving on department and
university committees, participating in student mentorship and
advising, and modeling collaborative skills.
