For the first time ever, CISCO is excited to announce, after a two year pandemic delay, the all new CISCO-Teacher Trainer coordinated by Certified Teacher Amie Root.

The CISCOTT will be a two week, May 16th-27th 2022, course in improving our stage combat teaching skills. Examples of the curriculum include:

• building a lesson plan
• classroom stewardship
• finding your voice as a teacher
• teaching classes
• receiving feedback
• creating a peer network
• building exercises and drills
• acquiring tools for creating inclusive classrooms
• supporting neurodiverse students
• recognizing and dismantling the implicit ableism often found in theatrical classrooms (particularly those founded in movement).

Additionally, all CISCOTT students will be automatically enrolled in the Theatrical Firearms Safety course. If you have some experience teaching stage combat and would like to spend two weeks immersed in improving upon that skill please do not hesitate to apply. There will be 8 spots available.

Registration includes tuition, housing, dinner at a restaurant 5 days a week, all testing fees, and a T-shirt.

Workshop weekends typically include dinner and a movie, board games, video games, and outings.

Stage Combat? During COVID?

CISCO and CISCOTT will adhere to the standard AEA protocols for practicing theater work during this pandemic.

To that end, all participants MUST show proof of vaccination and vaccination boost before their arrival on-site. Evidence has shown that vaccination and boost significantly reduces the effect and spread of COVID-19, including the Omicron variant.

If you are still waiting for your vaccinations, please let us know at admin@ciscostagecombat.com before registering.
