US students visit CSU for theatre experience

1 JANUARY 2003

A group of 12 graduate education students from Michigan, USA, will visit Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst on Saturday 2 June to attend a final rehearsal performance of Lost and Found, a new theatre-for-young-people production that is about to tour regional NSW schools. Ms Phoebe Lane, a lecturer at the CSU School of Communication and Creative Industries in Bathurst, said, “The students are visiting schools in Australia and New Zealand, as part of a Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad. It’s the first time that eight of the 12 students have travelled overseas, and because they have been undertaking a comparative study of either ‘culturally responsive teaching’ or ‘arts-infused teaching’ in a particular subject area, a visit to Charles Sturt University for its theatre/media course was recommended by another university because of the high regard for it. There are eight primary school teachers and four high school teachers in the group (eight women and four men), and they were chosen in a competitive process for their very strong academic and social performance and demonstrated leadership skills.” The group will tour the theatre/media facilities at CSU before attending a performance of Lost and Found which begins a tour of regional NSW schools on Monday 4 June.
