Summary

Never a Dull Moment: Teaching and the Art of Performance is really about how teachers are performers, classrooms are stages, and students the captivated audience. Dynamic, animated, and often unpredictable, she invites us to take a seat and watch her one-woman show. This is where the feminist classroom meets live guerilla theater and once the show has begun, learning becomes interactive, intentionally dramatic and fully engaging as it was always meant to be. No one is left behind, bored or disinterested. All the cast, students, teaching assistants, as well as the professor, become intellectually open and vulnerable to the world of ideas
