Tammie Swopes, Career Coach | Creative Career Hub
Tammie L. Swopes has been in the business of theatre and education for over 20 years, since starting her career in theatre as an intern at the Alliance Theatre Company in Atlanta, GA. Immersing herself in the art and business of theatre has further inspired her work with youth, social justice, and community building — and she has worked with organizations such as Performing Arts Program for Youth (PAPY), The Names Project Foundation, and The Partnership for Arts in Learning.
Swopes earned an MA in Educational Theatre at NYU Steinhardt, working and studying with some of the masters in the field (including Dorothy Heathcote and Augusto Boal). And she has since worked as a teaching artist, an arts in education specialist, theatre program director, and a full-time performing arts instructor. She is currently an adjunct professor at Marymount Manhattan College and Artistic Associate for the NYU Verbatim Performance Lab, while she pursues her doctorate in Educational Theatre (NYU Steinhardt) and continues her own work as an artist/educator and social justice warrior.
