- The Essentiality of Playing Pretend: Imagination, Creativity, and Theatre-Based Teaching Artistry in the Early Childhood Virtual Classroom
- Abstract
- This thesis is an exploration of teaching artistry and the role of the imagination in early childhood education as it exists online. Part response to the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the arts and part testament to the value of theatre-based education, it highlights the voices of nine teaching artists who have experience teaching online. I use semi-structured interviews and an ethnographic process of analysis to uncover not only the connections between teaching, creativity, imagination, and theatre but also what digitally-mediated instruction uniquely reveals about their intersection. I find that online teaching reaffirms the fundamental principle of teaching artistry: that imagination is both a skill to strengthen and a means of learning, and as such, I ultimately conclude that the "virtual classroom" has only renewed the purpose of teaching artistry for young learners.
