It is my pleasure to introduce myself as the new drama teacher at Ballard High school. I studied playwriting at Macalester college and the National Theatre Institute and completed a master’s in teaching at Seattle University this spring. I came to theatre education to uplift anti-racist work and center student identity, and I am so excited to bring this work to Ballard High School. My training is based in the work of Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed and of my mentor, Eliza Rasheed. My priority is building a space where students learn to listen, both to their community members and to themselves. I feel honored to be welcomed into the Ballard Performing Arts family and look forward to growing with this community. ~ Ms. Miller
