Hanover to host German educators’ workshop

The Hanover College Modern Languages and Cultures Department is scheduled to host the Indiana chapter of the American Association of Teachers of German’s annual immersion workshop. The one-day event will be held Saturday, Sept. 16.

The workshop, “Theaterpädagogik,” will focus on the incorporation of theatre into German education. Jennifer Schmidt, assistant professor of theatre at Hanover, will lead participants in creative improvisational exercises, stage direction and scene positioning and movement. In addition, the workshop will include the exploration of the College’s expansive campus for performance inspiration.

“Theaterpädagogik” will be held from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at Hanover’s Science Center. A buffet lunch will be provided in the J. Graham Brown Campus Center.

All German educators – past, present and future – are welcome to attend. Online registration will be available through Sept. 10 and registration will be available at the workshop. Discounted hotel rates are available through August 24. For more information, contact Alexis Smith, associate professor of German, at smithal@hanover.edu.
