Rose Burnett Bonczek

 I'm a New York based theater practitioner who has directed in NYC, regional, international and educational theatre for many years.  As an educator, I  developed and supervised the BFA Acting Program at Brooklyn College, CUNY and in 2018 I received the Oscar Brockett Excellence in Teaching Theatre in Higher Education Award from the Association for Theater in Higher Education - currently, I coach and teach privately, and consult for organizations such as Atlantic Theater Company, Fordham and CNY Arts.

 

These days...

  

I'm proud to enter my 19th year as producing artistic director of Gi60 US  -  the 2023 festival, hosted by The Tank NYC is performing July 6, 7 , 8 and 9th all shows at 7 pm.  For tickets:   https://thetanknyc.org/calendar-1/gi60-international-one-minute-theatre-festival-us-edition. 

 I'm thrilled to return to live and in-person teaching! I'm offering a new series of improv classes starting Tuesday January 10 2023, focusing on group collaboration and play, and  'shaking off pandemic rust' at The Chain Theater, 312 West 36th Street, 6:30-9:30 pm.  There are a few spots remaining, contact me and see my 'Educator' page for additional details.  What skills were most affected by the isolation of the pandemic? How is the increase in self taping impacting our  ability to connect with partners, collaborative instincts, and our own physical awareness?  

All the Classroom's a Stage: Applying Theater Principles to Teaching Techniques (co-author Michael Flanagan) is available for purchase  here.  A dynamic support tool for teachers of all subjects, the book will be exceptionally helpful as we transition from Zoom to in-person learning once again.
