For faculty only

In this workshop we will cover the best practices for responding to KCACTF productions and will look at effective ways to prepare for and give production responses that are thoughtful, respectful of the work and offer value to the students. We will address concerns about bias towards different styles of performance and how to recognize our own unintended biases.
