I was notified on <br /> May 5, 2016 that I am selected to attend the Lincoln Center Education's Teaching Artist <br /> Intermediate Level Learning Lab this July 18-29, 2016. I am requesting funds to assist with the <br /> workshop fee,travel, housing/per diem, and documentation costs. <br /> Proposed Project: <br /> The Lincoln Center Education Summer Forum includes an incredible opportunity for working <br /> teaching artists to learn, share, and improve their skills whether beginner, intermediate, or <br /> master level. It is a competitive application process, and participants are drawn from around <br /> the USA and internationally to convene for a two week intensive experience. The Intermediate <br /> session agenda will include workshops/labs regarding the TA Purpose Threads, lesson planning, <br /> inquiry, exploration around fundamentals of Teaching Artistry, personal philosophy, <br /> performances, panels, discussions, and keynote speakers. The participants may also go on site <br /> visits to Museum and community centers to explore different ways that TAs work. The Lab has <br /> two master TAs (over 10 years experience) and a series of guest speakers and/or workshop <br /> leaders. It is a 9-5 schedule M-F during the two weeks. I would like to attend for the full two <br /> weeks, soaking up new ideas, methods, and ways of implementing school and community <br /> artistic residency and workshop programming. Once back in North Carolina, I desire to share <br /> this experience with interested citizens via a free presentation at The Artists' Salon, The <br /> ArtsCenter. I have spoken with Martha Shannon, and the August Salon is traditionally a <br /> "teaching artist" opportunity to correspond to the start of the school year. Martha expressed <br /> her interest in this topic, and encouraged me to apply with this community public component. I <br /> have attended several teaching artist events at The Artist's Salon over the past five years, and <br />
