Hey! I’m Thomas Kee. I’ve been teaching online for the last twenty years. During this time I’ve worked with actors at the university level using online resources to support our work in the studio as well as recently creating synchronous acting courses entirely online. This site is designed to provide acting teachers with texts, tools, and multimedia to help their students explore the art and craft of acting using the online medium. Along the way I hope to provoke your imagination and offer some structural ideas as you strive to create courses that meet your institution’s goals and promote a deeper understanding of our work as actors.

ACTING JUST

GOT EASIER

This site is dedicated to the work of teaching acting using online resources either as a medium or as a way of supporting your work in the studio. It’s based on the educational principles of Bloom‘s Taxonomy which offers a pyramid of categoric learning types that build toward the act of creativity. I think it’s a perfect fit for an approach to acting training. My personal preference is to combine activities scaffolded in this structure and infuse them with the guiding principles of constructivism. This theory holds that people learn by building a real place for new knowledge out of their understanding of past experiences. To me that wraps around the idea of creating a role very nicely. However you approach helping students achieve their goals as actors, I hope these resources are useful tools in leading them on that journey.
