Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents a virtual conversation titled "In the Moment: Artists and Their Work with Storyteller Joelle Shenk" online on Zoom on Friday, August 20, 2021.

In this free lunchtime talk, Joelle Shenk will discuss the role of improvisation in education, specifically how theatre skills can prepare students for much more than the stage, helping strengthen students’ sense of self, esteem, actualization, and ability to collaborate with others.

Shenk has a passion for the performing arts and has spent the last 19 years directing, writing, producing, and performing across the United States and overseas. She currently owns and operates JoELoe Productions, LLC in Blacksburg, where she teaches community and school-based theatre programs for all ages. Shenk also provides interactive story times for several area venues, and summer reading programs at libraries across Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina.

In her travels, Shenk has taught theatre workshops, camps, and classes in England, Scotland, Uganda, Ecuador, Haiti, and China. She can't wait to get back on the road and share more stories and the joy of theatre!
