“It has been an absolute privilege having Clint start his artist in residence at Helensvale State High this week. From the moment Clint entered the teaching space he captivated my students. His manner and wit has meant that students have been quick to connect with him and the learning experiences he has facilitated. The drama games and activities have encouraged students to take risks and challenge themselves to consider more their physical being in communicating dramatic action and engaging their audience within the style of Commedia dell’arte. It has been wonderful for students to learn from an absolute master of the mask!
Clint is inspiring in the way he is able to respond to the needs of the students and draw from his wealth of experience to cater for each different class. As a teacher it has been a fantastic professional development opportunity to see such a passionate and vivacious artist at work and we look forward to welcoming Clint back into our classrooms in the near future.
See you tomorrow!!”
