Teaching Artist

Teaching Artists at Camp ¡Exprésate! lead creative, arts-based programming for elementary and middle school students through Mosaic Theatricals’ after school and seasonal programs. In this role, artists design and facilitate engaging workshops in theatre, movement, music, and storytelling while supporting students’ social-emotional growth, confidence, and sense of belonging.

Rooted in arts education, social-emotional learning, and culturally responsive pedagogy, Camp ¡Exprésate! empowers youth to build confidence, express their identities, and develop critical life skills through theatre, music, movement, storytelling, and collaborative creation.

Mosaic Theatricals seeks dynamic, compassionate, and skilled Teaching Artists to join our Camp ¡Exprésate! team.
