Theatre Teacher

WHAT DOES THIS JOB INVOLVE?

Our Theatre course offers students the opportunity to explore and develop their theatrical skills and talents and use them to develop a unique piece of verbatim theatre with aspects of physical theatre. You will be tasked with combining a series of skills-based master classes and ensemble workshops in which students will work as a team to create an exciting piece of original theatre to be performed in the final week.

Throughout the 3-week programme your aim will be to enthuse your students with a keen interest in the performing arts, regardless of previous experience, and encourage them to discover their talents and develop a new-found self-confidence both on stage and beyond.

As an ISSOS teacher you have your own class of international students aged 13-18 years old. Our classes are kept small in order to provide individual attention, personalised instruction and create an encouraging, supportive and fun environment for students to learn while making new friends from around the world.

Although we provide every teacher a guide as to what each lesson should achieve, we ask our teachers to bring their own experience and personality to each class and create their own stimulating and challenging lesson plans.

We are looking for charismatic, inspirational individuals who are experienced in their field and who can provide a nurturing yet challenging atmosphere with individual attention and strong classroom management skills.

All of our summer positions are fully residential and all of our staff teams will be actively involved in the various events and activities that we put on for our students.

WHAT WILL YOU GET OUT OF IT?

With guidance from us, you will be given the freedom to develop your own lesson plans, and build on your classroom experience with students from over 80 nationalities, at the same time as having a fantastic summer experience of your own. No two days at ISSOS are the same and we are really proud of the fact that our staff team have as much fun during the summer as our students do.
