Wolf Trap Teaching Artists Salute the Teachers Who Inspired Them
Jun 11, 2024
Wolf Trap asked its teaching artists to reflect upon educators who made a difference in their lives, inspired their love of the arts, and helped shape the direction of their careers. Here’s what they shared:
Wolf Trap Teaching Artist Ambo Tazanu shares how her high school drama teacher encouraged her to pursue theater, and consider a professional career in the performing arts.
Teachers build connections for students that last beyond the classroom. Wolf Trap Master Teaching Artist Joe Pipik’s drama teacher, Father Mario Dicicco, opened up a whole new world for his students when he introduced them to Cleveland’s theater scene.
Sometimes inspiration can be found in unusual places. How did a middle school history teacher influence Wolf Trap Master Teaching Artist Sue Trainor’s work in the classroom? Find out:
Wolf Trap Master Teaching Artist Quynn Johnson’s dance teachers laid the foundation for her career as a teaching artist by introducing her to the art form and culture of dance. Today, she inspires others through her work as a co-founder of her own dance company, SOLE Defined.
